About Six Ages: Ride Like the Wind
Life between myths. Lead your clan into legend or obscurity. Six Ages: Ride Like the Wind is a storybook strategy game, immersing you in a land of old gods and magic, the same world as King of Dragon Pass.
Hundreds of small encounters build into an epic, multi-generational tale of survival and inter-clan alliances. Six Ages is the spiritual successor to acclaimed King of Dragon Pass, taking place thousands of years earlier in the same shared world of Glorantha. Part role-playing, part resource management, you'll always be making decisions with long-term consequences, for you and your clan.
Please note the minimum system requirements for Windows is Windows 10!
Glorantha is a highly detailed Bronze Age world, similar in many ways to our own. But it exists in a magical universe where the laws of physics are subordinate to the whims of the gods and spirits. To understand Glorantha, leave our mundane world and enter the world of myth. The Sun is a living god, not a nearby star. Countless gods exist, some even more powerful than the Sun, and all have the power to directly affect humanity.
In Six Ages, you play specifically as a Riders clan, who revere various gods in their particular mythology, including Gamari the Horse Mother, and your culture hero, Hyalor... but you would be foolish to forget Raven the Trickster. He has not forgotten you.
Glorantha is also the setting of other rich narrative games/experiences, including King of Dragon Pass, HeroQuest, RuneQuest, God Wars, and others.

*Awesome* gem!! I haven't played King Of Dragon Pass yet BUT A Sharp makes amazing games if this is their newer work! I'm sure I'll love Dragon Pass when I get to it too, GREAT stuff here love everything about it, thanks devs for the hard work bringing these cool gemz to us all!! :)6 found this helpful
A beautiful game from start to finish, rich depth. Lots of choice and things to explore. An amazing utilization of Glorantha (In its self a deep and storied setting) There is something about a bronze age setting I love so much. I loved playing king of Dragon pass and found it a facinating relic of old RPG's, somehow nailing an intersection of mythology/resource management/RPG diplomacy. I was absolutely delighted to find its creator was still active and had created anotherr series in the same setting. I love the art style, the narative and everything you find along the way. Bravo! You have found a new prozeletizer in me, I'll be spreading the word5 found this helpful
This is a punishing game that doesn't give you much information about how to make the suffering stop.4 found this helpful
Work of genius The King of Dragon Pass / Six Ages form a distinct form of turn-based strategy, offering a wildly different strategy gaming experience. There is a strong narrative, lore, mythos, and world building that make this is a unique game experience. Its a little hard to get into at first, but its wildly different and really really really good ultimately. I will get Six Ages 2, now that I beat Six Ages 1 and though I never beat King of Dragon Pass, now I feel confident to go back and beat it as well. This isn't going to a match for certain types of gamers, but if it is your kind of thing, then you could really really love this game.3 found this helpful
This is a wonderful text-based colony manager game (with a pretty cool plot) Pros -I love the story events and getting different ones depending on your choices -I love how strong the personalities for some characters are, I like how biased some of them are, makes the dynamic of having advisors more interesting. -The battle, exploration, fortifications and shrine systems work really well -People get upset if you *don't* pillage other settlements Cons -Can be a bit hard to keep track of your goals in this game, so I wrote it down in a notepad as I played (helped a lottt) -Some events seem to repeat a bit early on, I'm no where near finishing my first run, let alone a successful run and I'm already a bit bored with how similar some of the events are. -Tough to follow all the different gods that are worshipped, there is a myth guide, but you can't open it during events.3 found this helpful
