The Age of Decadence is a computer Role-Playing Game, developed by Iron Tower Studio and released on October 14, 2015. Set in a post-apocalyptic Low Fantasy world reminiscent of The Roman Empire, the game aims to follow the philosophy of the golden era, with emphasis on choice and consequences.Players have seven backgrounds to choose from, each with their own prologues and preset reputation with the factions. Instead of traditionally leveling up, the player gains skill points upon completing quests and killing enemies. Combat is turn-based, with weapon types having different attributes and the ability to target specific body parts. Unlike other games of the genre, the game does not feature companions, instead focusing on the player character. One can however receive aid from other characters at times, albeit controlled by the AI rather than the player.A spin-off, Dungeon Rats, was released on November 4, 2016. While still a role-playing game with the same combat system, Dungeon Rats is more akin to Turn-Based Tactics, being party-based and focusing on tactical combat encounters to escape a massive prison mine.The game's website can be found here. | |

Multiple Endings | |
| The Age of Decadence (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77 | comment |
Multiple Endings: Every major questline can change the outcome of the plot in very different ways. Physical God: One of the endings allows you to become one. It's also an Ambiguous Ending, as it gives you very little information on what has become of the world - you are free to imagine any outcome. Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: several endings are reached by punching out Agathoth. The game hints several times that such a feat is only possible due to very special circumstances and the character's extreme martial prowess. | |

The Main Characters Do Everything | |
| The Age of Decadence (Video Game) / int_1c9537cd | comment |
The Main Characters Do Everything: Averted, as the things player can do depend on their skills and reputation alone, and so for every door that opens before the player, another is closed. I.e. playing non-violently increases your reputation with factions like the Commercium, but also means that the Assassins’ Guild will not even talk to you. | |

Low Fantasy | |
| The Age of Decadence (Video Game) / int_319cc4d7 | comment |
Low Fantasy: It's a cynical, brutal, low-magic world set After the End. There are stories of a long-dead empire that used to employ fantastical magical powers and who fought with gods at their side, but naturally all that power in the hands of mortals ended up leading to the current status quo because Humans Are Bastards. Pretty much all magic is of the enchantment type; being a wizard is simply not an option here, as your character will never be able to cast a single spell. It is however possible for a very skilled Loremaster to unlock many of the secrets left behind by the ancient civilization, including some of their nearly invincible armor and regenerative machines. In the case of very skilled, and particularly callous Loremasters, it's even possible to unlock enough of the ancient secrets to destroy the world again. | |

Sealed Evil in a Can | |
| The Age of Decadence (Video Game) / int_485eb589 | comment |
Sealed Evil in a Can: You can find one of the Gods at the bottom of the Abyss. Let's just say that centuries after being left in the bunker without being able to move have destroyed its sanity a bit. If you decide to unleash it instead of putting him out of his misery, it destroys Maadoran to the last stone. Another god is sleeping in the Temple of Thor-Agoth. Awaken it, and it will ask you to pick a ruler through whom it can rule the world. Yet another god is trying to convince Meru to help it return to this world. If Meru performs the ritual you have the choice of siding with this god or opposing it. | |

Money for Nothing | |
| The Age of Decadence (Video Game) / int_5534431f | comment |
Archer: Can attack from range, but not up close. Downsides include ammo issues (this game does not use Money for Nothing), low skill characters will often miss, low armor penetration (or if using pierceing arrows, low damage). Like all ranged weapons, shield users have a bonus to their block rate against ranged attacks. | |

Weapon-Based Characterization | |
| The Age of Decadence (Video Game) / int_7098892d | comment |
Weapon-Based Characterization: Unusually for almost any video game, each performs widely different in combat in practice (even if how they do so is hard to describe). Also unusually is none of the weapons are "second tier" weapons for non-primary-combat characters, they are all roughly equal. Heroes Prefer Swords: Will critical more often and can hit everyone around you in a whirlwind attack. Devious Daggers: Has low AP cost and accurate, will bypass armor often, and can "flurry" to get in even more attacks. Axes: High damage for high AP. Also can access the whirlwind attack. Drop the Hammer: Each hit has an additional chance to wear down armor and shields. Archer: Can attack from range, but not up close. Downsides include ammo issues (this game does not use Money for Nothing), low skill characters will often miss, low armor penetration (or if using pierceing arrows, low damage). Like all ranged weapons, shield users have a bonus to their block rate against ranged attacks. Crossbows: Can attack from range, but not up close. High power with each shot, but slow to reload, like the bow has access to barbed/plain/piercing ammo for each grade. Throwing weapons: Being the only one handed ranged weapon, it is the only one that can use a shield alongside it. Are expensive, hard to resupply, and have low range, but can attack at close ranges unlike other ranged weapons, and deal more damage. | |

Murder, Inc. | |
| The Age of Decadence (Video Game) / int_72217e12 | comment |
Murder, Inc.: The Boatmen of Styx will assassinate anyone for the right price. The group originated as a Praetorian Guard within the Legions back during the days of the Empire, and specialized in removing threats to the Emperor's safety. After the Empire went belly-up, the Boatmen went freelance and continued to ply their trade. This has led to a rivalry with the Imperial Guards, who are another ex-legionary group devoted to keeping the peace between the Houses. | |

Violence Really Is the Answer | |
| The Age of Decadence (Video Game) / int_7994c93a | comment |
Violence Really Is the Answer: Generally averted, unless the question to be answered was "How to get killed as soon as possible?" In the tutorial alone, some NPCs will wipe the floor with you in a fair fight, even if you pour all starting points into combat-related skills. That said, the Imperial Guards are expected to solve their problems with violence, and they're less respectful of someone who rises in rank because of political acumen rather than combat skill. | |

Eldritch Abomination | |
| The Age of Decadence (Video Game) / int_8774fb47 | comment |
The gods, known as Tngri in Ordu and as Yazatas in the language of the Magi, are actually void-dwelling beings who were called into the world to possess the bodies of human volunteers. The volunteers had been warded so that they would control the beings in their bodies, but the wards were sabotaged and the volunteers were possessed instead. Four of the gods, lead by Balezaar, allied with the Qantari and declared war on the Empire; while the other three, lead by Agathoth, opposed them and sided with the Empire and the Magi. Though a god is not omnipotent it is a match for a human army in battle. As of the time of the game all of the gods are either slain, banished back to the Void, or imprisoned somewhere; but several endgames revolve around their return. | |

| The Age of Decadence (Video Game) / int_8d4fcaa5 | comment |
Self-Imposed Challenge: You can go through the whole game without being on the combat screen even once. You can still kill a surprising number of people with sneak attacks or by turning anchient traps against them. | |

Non-Standard Game Over | |
| The Age of Decadence (Video Game) / int_8e0430ab | comment |
Non Standard Game Over: Failing certain skill checks in dialogue, which can be frequent depending on your path, leads to you getting one-shotted in the next scene, with no chance to fight back. You even get a special death screen text for it. It's that kind of game. After meeting Dominius in Maadoran, you can choose to resist the troops who arrive to take you to Gaelius. This is deliberately a near-unwinnable fight, but beating it gets you a unique ending screen involving the player character going on a murderous Self-Destructive Charge against a dozen more guards. | |

Cthulhumanoid | |

Cthulhumanoid: Agathoth's appearance in the body he inhabits is a blue variant, albeit with less tentacles on the face and mostly on the back of his head, giving it the appearance of dreadlocks. When you bring him the ruler who will become his Puppet King, he's put on a suit of golden armor that resembles a pharaoh to hide his inhuman features to make his offer more amenable. | |

Multiple-Choice Past: The eight backgrounds on offer. They don’t have any effect on your character’s main stats, but they do affect their standing with the game’s seven factions, as well as the dialogue options available for them. It is also possible to remain an unknown stranger with no background, and no associated strengths or weaknesses; however, the Drifter does still have its own opening that draws the character into the plot. | |

She's revealed to be very cold and manipulative, having trained her ladies-in-waiting to use deadly poison against anyone she deems a threat. The Boatmen of Styx mission involving her is even titled "The Black Widow". | |

Adventurer Archaeologist: Loremasters specialize in digging up artifacts in the ruins of the old world and selling them to the highest bidder. Okay, that's the ideal. Most loremasters (including a PC with the Loremaster background, at least at first) are bookworms who rarely set foot outside the safe parts of town, but old-school ones learned their trade while delving ruins, killing monsters and taking their stuff. | |

Have a Nice Death: Many of the game's combat encounters have unique Game Over text that narrates your character's final thoughts before dying, which differs based on the situation at hand. The developers likely took the time to write these due to the high frequency at which players are expected to die. | |

Unusually Uninteresting Sight: Averted in many ways. For instance, stripping down to your underpants normally elicits no reaction in Role Playing Games. Here, the guards will stop your character, inquire if he’s drunk, mock him (“Just between you and me, there’s not much to see here anyway.”) and finally tell him to put some clothes on. | |

Our Gods Are Different | |
| The Age of Decadence (Video Game) / int_e1ecdac3 | comment |
Our Gods Are Different: In the war against the Qantari demons, the Magi of the Empire supposedly created gods to fight for them, but exactly what happened is unclear. The gods, known as Tngri in Ordu and as Yazatas in the language of the Magi, are actually void-dwelling beings who were called into the world to possess the bodies of human volunteers. The volunteers had been warded so that they would control the beings in their bodies, but the wards were sabotaged and the volunteers were possessed instead. Four of the gods, lead by Balezaar, allied with the Qantari and declared war on the Empire; while the other three, lead by Agathoth, opposed them and sided with the Empire and the Magi. Though a god is not omnipotent it is a match for a human army in battle. As of the time of the game all of the gods are either slain, banished back to the Void, or imprisoned somewhere; but several endgames revolve around their return. | |

Easily Forgiven: Averted in at least one early side quest, where the player is told to remove an undesirable character from the starting town. This can be achieved by simply telling him to leave, without even needing high persuasion skill to do so. However, the guy ends up bearing a grudge, requiring you to improve your reputation with his faction to talk with him. | |
