Age of Darkness: Final Stand is a dark fantasy survival RTS where you must illuminate, build and defend humanity’s last bastion against hordes of Nightmares. Developed by PlaySide and Published by Team 17 and is available now on PC on early access.
Set in the remnants of a kingdom consumed by a deadly fog. Brace yourself against huge tidal waves of Nightmares and claim back territory from The Veil as you build the last bastion of humanity. Led by powerful heroes, turn the tide of desperate battles as you muster your forces and earn your blessings.
The darkness is an entity of evil. Some say it is the manifestation of human fear and nightmares, others say it is a wandering mass of damned souls haunting us. The origin of the darkness itself is unknown, but one thing for certain is that we can keep it at bay through the power of light and fire.
Borrowing from the the roguelite genre, Malices are random afflictions placed on the player during every Death Night, unravelling the best made plans. Conversely, if a Death Night is survived, you may decide between three randomly selected Blessings, enriching the experience and giving your army a much needed edge.

I am a Content Creator who also Live Streams. I love playing video games, talking about video games and I also write about them as I am an editor for a gaming magazine.
What genre of game do I play? Indie games & story driven games mostly.
Other than that my time is taken up being a Mamma. Yes, I am half Italian and you will find the odd Italian word or phrase being dropped into my streams. Particularly when I become excited 😎
Too many games not enough time!
