Overview
Description

Dragon Age: Inquisition is an epic role-playing game set on the sprawling continent of Thedas, where mages and templars clash as dragons darken the sky. As the leader of the Inquisition, you must make critical choices that permanently alter the course of history while rallying allies against chaos. Customize your hero from four distinct races and three specialized classes, exploring vast regions across Ferelden and Orlais. Engage in tactical combat, build your influence, and forge deep relationships and romances as you uncover the truth behind a mysterious cataclysmic event.

The Age of Decadence is a pseudo‑isometric 3D turn‑based role‑playing game set in a grim, low‑magic world inspired by the fall of the Roman Empire. Players navigate a shattered landscape of rival factions, ancient mysteries, and brutal politics, shaping the story through deep dialogue trees and consequential actions.\n\nDesigned by Iron Tower Studio, the game emphasizes strategic combat, extensive skill customization, and multiple solutions to quests, offering seven distinct endings and a world that reacts dynamically to the player’s decisions.
