Age of Decadence is an old school isometric 3D turn-based computer role-playing game by Iron Tower Studios. Set in a low-magic post-apocalyptic world inspired by the fall of the Roman Empire, Age of Decadence promises to bring players back to the Golden Age of computer RPGs, emphasizing choices and consequences, a comprehensive skill set, multiple solutions to quests, and dialogue trees.[1]
According to the Imperial Scrolls, the wicked kingdom of Q'antaar and the Empire were locked in a bloody magical war that devastated much of the known world. Each side called upon powers both arcane and divine, summoning Gods and other beings of immense power, whose contest ultimately destroyed both sides. Cities of the once glorious Empire lay in ruin, and bodies of the dead were strewn across the land. Centuries later, the world still suffers from the shadow of civilization's collapse. Where there once was unity, there are now factions struggling for dominance in the ruined world. Where there was once knowledge, there is ignorance of both science and magic. Where there was once chivalry and honor, there is only pettiness and betrayal. And it is in this uneasy divided land of myth and fable that the player discovers an ancient map offering a hint to the Empire's true past.[2]
