Overview
Description

Lord Dhelt of Elturel hires you to retrieve the stolen Hole Symbol of Helm, only to be whisked away into a hostile, mist‑filled realm. Explore the unknown, battle foes in real‑time combat, and unravel the secrets of the amulet that binds you. Create or choose from pre‑determined heroes, recruit allies, and manage a party of up to four characters using traditional AD&D races and classes. Navigate a fully 3D world with mouse‑oriented controls and experience a nostalgic blend of strategy, adventure, and fantasy action.

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.
