Bought this game today because of this video. Several missions into the campaign now and I'm loving it; it's exactly the game I didn't know I was waiting for. A bit buggy but hopefully it sells well and patches keep coming.
its the same genre. but imagine it like They are Billions, with upgrades, a little but more bugs ( some report of control groups not working as intended e.g. ), and other setting. while TAB is " enemies always spawn at the ma´p´s end ", allowing some cheesy control of the hordes, here they spawn at the maps end AND on the open rift(s). also, you got hero units like WC3 and structures and playstyle vary a bit depending on faction choosen. i loved TAB, didnt play this one that much, but it was in EA where i last played it around a year ago.
Great to see you and Winter banter over stream! I watch you both pretty much everyday. I have to say I am impressed with the voice acting for a $10 game. I made it through 4 missions in the campaign. It's not BG3 level performance but it's better than fan fiction mods for WC3
I played this game a few months ago and got to complete it once in the highest nightmare difficulty. It was crazy difficult. Watching Lowko struggle was amazing XD
LowKo, you are playing Age of Darkness *-*..man I love you. For me this game is so much fun. Played in on EA and now I'm playing the final version. I hope there will be some updates with more troops.
lowko I'm a long time enjoyer and have literally watched every one of your videos, I've had aod since beta at love the game its so epic to see you doing content for it! sometimes a single player rts is nice to relax StarCraft makes me feel like I'm trying to operate 35 heavy machines simultaneously sometimes XD
This game would be much more known and overall beter , If the Devs actually fixed the multiplayer issues and bugs that have been known for a long time.
I like the fact that you have a hero that levels and troops. It makes it more than a tower defense game. I wouls prefer that there was more micro and less macro, and that you can have more than one hero and items. I always wanted to make a mod for warcraft 3 that is like this.
The story: These devs spent 10 mins making a generic pve strat map and want $10 from 1 million people so they can buy a yacht. Lowkos the man for the job ngl
Ok, but the base 10 for hours and days and months and all that was actually a thing that the French tried around the time of the (main) French revolution
SO as long as it's mostly PvE strategy, i want to suggest to check out Northgard for you, Lowko. Or just pls fix me if you checked it some time( years?) ago and i just missed it.
I'm ass, cause i don't rts, but the game is fun to me. It's shocking that they jump into veteran, to me, but that shows the difference between high level star craft players and casual, like me. On co op, my boy and i get folded on the third death night, every time, on easy.
Be careful: In night 3 it seems that the control groups stop working. You have to defend several points and you need to split your army. Fine. So you have one controlgrup for your northern army and one for your southern. But because of the bug if you give a command to your northern army, the southern one does exactly the same. You tell the northern army to move? The southern moves to the same place. No idea if this bug is happening with everybody, but according to steam-reviews this bug is in the game since 2 years and has not been fixed. Makes the game for everybody who wants to play with control groups basically impossible to play later on. I was interested in the game, but if I can't use control groups reliable - even though I need to defend different points, so need to split - it's a hard pass for me.
It's happening to everybody i think, because the devs said they're looking into it but it's very frustrating and feels like a rushed, unfinished game no matter how much i like it
I personally don't like "roguelikes" and this strikes me as a RTS roguelike. Especially with the map generation being so random that you might as well restart. This would benefit from set maps, but then focusing on creating unique interactions with events and monsters. Different variety of monsters, some weak to melee, strong to archers etc. It is a huge mass of mobs, and you just hope to kill them all so that you progress to the next night. I also don't quite understand their pricing structure. 65% off for a new release? It sounds sus. Maybe they are trying to get it to be popular and hope that it goes viral? But they don't offer anything new or unique compared to They Are Billions and other games of that nature. This is a game I expect will be consistently on sale for 65-90% off in the future. I did watch the entire video, just not my cup of tea.
took a look at the steam page when i saw this thumbnail to see if it looked interesting and the reviews are not pretty......im sure this paid ad will cover none of that. 0/10 tldr: games unbalanced, an unstable mess, constant crashing, bugs with control groups, and multiplayer is region locked and you have to vpn to get around it.
Thanks to PlaySide for sponsoring this video! Check out Age of Darkness on Steam here: aodfinalstand.go.link/dNu8h
Winter and LowKo playing together????? This is better than any Maru vs Serral match Ive ever seen. Keep that content up you 2!
Agreed
Thanks for the video, Lowko. Impressive that you were able to collab with a literal season. Hope it wasn’t too chilly. ❤
So nice to see you two making content together. Love both your channels

Lowko + Winter is always great.
So it's basically They Are Billions 2.0 🤔
how accurate is this statement? im legit interested
Yeah pretty much, but now it's multiplayer!
More like 1.5
3.0 maybe? There is also Conan Unconquered which is multiplayer as well.

Winter and Lowko! Amazing.
Please play it again! Very fun to watch, you 2 have great chemistry and it would be great to see you 2 pull off a win, even in a lower difficulty
This was awesome, and also your mapgen was insane... that large stone quarry at the top surrounded by water is golden map gen right there.
You should do more stuff with Winter, the banter is hilarious
I played this game a few months ago and got to complete it once in the highest nightmare difficulty. It was crazy difficult. Watching Lowko struggle was amazing XD
-The children yearn for the mines- Lowko lowkey serious: -Always-
I love They are Billions. Just based off the first few moments of the video this sounds similar. Will have to check it out
Ive been playing this game forever, this is a great game.
LowKo, you are playing Age of Darkness *-*..man I love you.
For me this game is so much fun. Played in on EA and now I'm playing the final version.
I hope there will be some updates with more troops.
Thanks for the fun! ^^
Love the content. Would love to see some more coop 😃

Bought this a couple days ago before the sales, It is a rough cut gem but still a lot of fun. We just beat our first survival coop today.
its' basically "they are billions" with heroes
Everything's better with heroes.
@@Toshinbenexcept they are billions lmao. For some reason the TAB heroes campaign maps are disgustingly bad.
@@manhphuc4335I thought it was just me.
@@manhphuc4335 not necessarily bad, good in concept, but poor in execution. Just boring and tedious unfortunately
I haven't played this game in over a year. I recall it was pretty fun.
This reminds me of those modded Warcraft III map
The one with Vampires
So it's like the Dead of Night starcraft coop map on steroids
It's exactly Starcraft WITHOUT steroids. No guys with drugs and guns.
This game would be much more known and overall beter , If the Devs actually fixed the multiplayer issues and bugs that have been known for a long time.
Ten minutes in, I'm sold. Looks neat.
This is the best Starcraft 2 pro match ever!
this would be super dope, if there was multiplayer 1v1 where enemy hordes spawn at night and each team has to build/fight each other at day time.
Winterlowko/Lowkowinter. Too much/not enough rock hard and wood jokes. 5/10
Some strong they are billion vibes. the UI is very similiar.
I have admitted that I have not played RTS for ... decades? Realizing this when I started to play..
I like the fact that you have a hero that levels and troops. It makes it more than a tower defense game. I wouls prefer that there was more micro and less macro, and that you can have more than one hero and items. I always wanted to make a mod for warcraft 3 that is like this.
It took me a moment to figure out why Lowko call Winter’s hero “Brenda”🤣🤣
Get. Off. My. Shadowfog!
I LOVE THIS! MORE
I had this game on my whislist for two years.. 4 days ago i bought it.. now you made video on it, coincidence ?
game looks fun
Bought the game, now I can continue to the video
You guys could try 2 games:
Warno.
Manor lords!
did lowko ever play the there are billions campaign?
Great game. I love it.
Lowko AND winter?!?!
All these years, Lowko has been making fun of Protoss not having door technology...
this is like "they are billions" game.
Cool!
It is like if They are billions and Stronghold had a baby 😂
The story: These devs spent 10 mins making a generic pve strat map and want $10 from 1 million people so they can buy a yacht.
Lowkos the man for the job ngl
Ok, but the base 10 for hours and days and months and all that was actually a thing that the French tried around the time of the (main) French revolution
More.... please!!!!
I love love love the sc2 casts but I love watching you play games just as much
SO as long as it's mostly PvE strategy, i want to suggest to check out Northgard for you, Lowko.
Or just pls fix me if you checked it some time( years?) ago and i just missed it.
Is it only 2 people max or what. Looks promising nonetheless
i wanna play it but tf my laptop is 4th gen lmao, i check on can i run it, and my processor can't handle it.
Play Beyond All Reason, please
Game Duration: *Horrific*
Video length checks out.
All hail Queen Brenda
Warcraft 3 content is still king.
Yay, some money for our guy!
I hope they put more heroes and more faction to the game..
The game looks great! Would have been a lot more enjoyable though if you were playing with someone who wasn’t sarcastic, rude, and generally toxic.
Winter give me the letters XD
I'm ass, cause i don't rts, but the game is fun to me. It's shocking that they jump into veteran, to me, but that shows the difference between high level star craft players and casual, like me.

Banter is at least GM tier
Hmmm you got a cute voice and accent 😊
This is a warcraft 3 custom map...
The game is so sluggish, feels like the video is playing at 0.5x...

isnt this just they are billions? everything just seemed to have gotten a reskin, otherwise it feels and plays 1to1 the same o.O How is that legal?

This game isn’t new. It came out like two-three years ago
Its like those fake releases. It stopped being early access.
😶🌫️
i thing thats "they are Billions" cope :D
It is not new. it was in early access since 2021.
He says exactly that at 0:55.
@@3Taumeltaenzer I skip the intro. Sorry. My bad :)

What? Was @winter doing black face??? 😂😂😂 And cultural appropriation??😅😅😅
