“Let’s get one thing perfectly clear straight away. You’re not going to be pouring hours upon hours of game time into Leszek Sliwko’s fantastic Age of Fear series because of breathtaking graphics and incredible surround…”

“Disclaimer: I have not played AOF2 since Nov. 2015, thus some points I put here might be dated since devs are constant improving the game. I'm writing this review after such length because I feel I have the obligation…”

“When I first purchased the game, I was worried that I might have been better off lighting a ten and a five on fire and watching the brief flame would provide more entertainment. I mean with the cringey low budget live…”

“This game appears well designed, is engaging and a good deal of fun. Except for one design decision that is a deal breaker for me. Melee combatants are able to run straight passed each other (within each other's melee…”

“Tabletop wargaming that does not take advantage of the computerized medium. Interface is sluggish and sticky. Units move only in strict straight lines once a turn, making it very easy for them to accidentally block each…”

“Less than the sum of its parts. I would LOVE to see this developer work in an engine like Unity or Game Maker. Hokey writing aside, the design backbone for a fun title is there, but the Java implementation is just so…”

“Very intresting game, remind me old type of Dark Omen. + nice graphic + variety of units + not so easy - no encyplopedia (or maybe it is after end of game :D) - no fog of war - no instant move In my mind, great game,…”

“A fun game. No messing about, just straight in, tactical turn based combat. The "only moving in straight lines" adds a dynamic, but you level up your troops XCOM style, hoping they dont die across missions. Yes, the UI…”

“Age of Fear is, at its core, a turn-based tactical game about small unit battles similar in feel to Battle for Wesnoth. It has some RPG elements and a unifying story for each campaign, along with the occasional text…”

“This is a great little strategy game. The upgrade system, the non hex-based movement and nice little touches like dialogue with enemies that you've raised from the dead all make this a really fun game. It's not long, at…”
