About Age of Fear 3: The Legend

Play as either Nairi, an imprisoned Dryad fighting for her freedom, or Gilrock, a drunken Dwarven Lord on a quest to restore his family's honour (or just to kick some arse!). Teaming up with a bloodthirsty Drider warrior on one hand or a whip-smart spellcaster on the other, these heroes are prepared for the worst.

AGE OF FEAR is a long-running series of fantasy turn-based strategy games loved by fans for its tabletop wargame battle system and in-depth RPG customization. Age of Fear 3: The Legend is our third addition to the series which offers enhancements like World Map, Relics, Global Events and procedurally generated battles! (scroll down for a list of features)

FEATURE LIST

HEX-FREE BATTLES - test your tactics with a novel movement system where size matters and units aren't constrained by artificial grids!⭐OPEN WORLD - are you bored with the main storyline? No worries, you can always take a side-quest or play procedurally-generated battles. Play this game as you want!⭐GLOBAL EVENTS that occur while exploring the World Map, à la Battle Brothers. This feature is still being developed and could serve to provide more lore and fun unit interactions conditional on the player's party!⭐FACTION BASES which can be upgraded as you explore the Age of Fear world. Investing in base upgrades will unlock additional recruitable units, skills and locations to explore⭐MERCENARIES - recruit your troops from multiple races and factions! Will a Dwarven Warrior work with a bloodthirsty Orc?⭐ALIGNMENTS such as Evil and Holy. Units from opposite sides won’t like each other and may desert. A bit of diplomacy (or charisma!) is needed to manage such relationships.⭐EXTENDED STORY including many sub-quests, optional events, alternative endings, more detailed lore, etc.⭐FREQUENTLY UPDATED - we take our work seriously and patch our games often with new features and content. Also, whenever possible, those updates are back-ported to all our previous games!⭐COMMUNITY-DRIVEN - we listen to our players and continuously improve! Go and check our forums, everyone has their say and we implement those suggestions.⭐FULL OF JOKES - who said strategy games have to be serious? All the best fantasy jokes have a home here!⭐PARTY CUSTOMIZATION - build and upgrade a custom army from more than two hundred unique units, skills and spells (but be aware of racial animosities!).⭐DEEP BATTLE MECHANICS - learn the basics in a hurry, then develop new strategies around a huge variety of skills, spells and battle hazards like neutral factions and environmental effects (yes, you can anger bystanders!).⭐EASY TO MOD - create your own missions, or even full-fledged campaigns, to be shared with the Steam community!⭐FANTASY STORYTELLING - get wrapped up in two separate storylines featuring a motley crew of characters, globetrotting adventures and fantasy shenanigans galore. All hand-illustrated!⭐PERMANENT DEATH - accept the grim realities of death where all units that fall in battle stay dead... unless an evil Necromancer raises them as Zombies.⭐ARTEFACTS AND RELICS - discover numerous unique weapons, armours, potions and treasures, with the rarest granting powerful OP skills and stat bonuses.⭐ADVANCED AI - our AI is built upon a self-organizing network of agents and meta-heuristics algorithms (yes, we are PhD-smart!). Discover one of the most sophisticated AI systems you've ever played against!⭐LOW HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS - run the game even on that old potato laptop of yours. Your stone-age computer is good enough!⭐COLOR-BLIND MODE - a special mode with higher contrast and outlined fonts.⭐...everything else we come up with!

Age of Fear 3: The Legend is a turn-based tactical combat game that focuses more on gameplay than graphics. The developers admit the visuals aren’t flashy, but the deep combat system more than makes up for it. You control two campaigns: one with a dryad and a spider-like drider teaming up, and another about a drunken dwarf lord on a rampage. Both stories are fun and full of humor. The game is made up of missions where you face new enemies and challenges. Sometimes, losing a mission can even unlock secret story paths, so don’t be afraid to try different approaches. Battles take place on open battlefields without grids, so moving your units around carefully is important. Positioning melee fighters and ranged units well is key, as crowded spaces can block movement. Between missions, you can recruit new units, upgrade your troops, and customize your heroes with different abilities and gear. This lets you shape your army to fit your play style. The game requires smart tactics—rushing in blindly usually ends badly. You’ll need to adjust your strategy depending on enemy types and mission objectives. The enemy AI is impressive and uses smart tactics like retreating, focusing fire, and u…

This is the third release in the Age of Fear series, one of the series I know of with the longest running developer support. It is a fun game with a sly sense of humour. I have played all the games in the series, and I have loved all of them. Simple gameplay loop with more depth than I know by a lot. I particularily like building powerful armies with strange or exotic combinations of moves, abilities, and passives. It's not a roguelike. This is similar to traditional role playing games, with a more rogue like system. If the campaigns could be played in a day, it would probly be a roguelike. I often find roguelikes have too much RNG; I get too invested in characters for roguelikes. This game scratches that itch. Note that, in order to make it more roguelike, one needs to build a team with some optional settings enabled. You'll likely figure it out.

like all the other age of fear games, the game is incredibly broad, and you can develop many completely different winning strategies. developer is VERY feedback friendly and often helps those who wand to mod their own content. game is simple, deep, fun. what's not to like?
Not recommended Jul 3, 2025
Esta no me gustó mucho... se me hace pesado. Continuo humor chinchandose entre personajes, batallas fáciles, ... no sé, algo no encaja. Le faltan alicientes. Además, me pareció feo insistir en el mapa en que debo comprar los DLC
