Age of Fear The Undead King

Age of Fear: The Undead King lets you take either side of a fantasy war: Sir Edward, a noble knight sworn to protect the Human Kingdom, or Krill, a necromancer driven by an unnatural hunger for power. Whether you guard the king's lands or work to ruin them, two separate campaigns and a sprawling adventure await.

The long-running Age of Fear series is known for fusing tabletop wargaming with deep RPG customization, and its battles abandon hexes for a free movement system where unit size genuinely matters. You assemble and improve a custom army drawn from over two hundred units, skills and spells, but alignment matters too: units of Evil and Holy leanings distrust each other and may desert without some diplomacy or charisma.

Combat layers skills, spells and battlefield hazards, including neutral factions and environmental effects you can accidentally provoke. Death is permanent unless a necromancer raises the fallen as zombies, artefacts and relics grant powerful bonuses, and the self-organizing AI puts up a genuine fight. The hand-illustrated game stays light-hearted and full of jokes, runs on modest hardware, includes a color-blind mode, and ships with tools to build and share your own missions and campaigns.
