Dark Fantasy Survival RTS Age of Darkness: Final Stand Trailer and Early Access Announcement
PlaySide Studios have announced their dark fantasy survival RTS Age of Darkness: Final Stand will be descending into Early Access through Steam in Fall 2021. Age of Darkness: Final Stand presents a modern, darker spin on the survival RTS genre that will challenge new players, and strategy experts alike. The initial story driven trailer is now live giving players a sneak peak into the title and unique gameplay.
Strategic construction, careful resource management, and rapid recruitment are the keys to surviving unrelenting swarms of Nightmares. Robust defences to build, battleworn heroes to enlist, and the tug of war between light and dark all complemented with an original soundtrack by Path of Exile composer Kamil Orman-Janowski.
Survive the Never Ending Evil
Age of Darkness: Final Stand will enter early access with an intense survival game mode that tests your resolve. By day, construct buildings, gather resources, and recruit an army led by unique Heroes. Scout into the deadly fog of war and take the fight to the horrors within. By night, survive swarms of enemies numbering in the thousands. Made to be highly replayable, your army will fall, your settlements will crumble, but you will learn. Rise from the ashes again and again to push back the darkness of ‘The Veil’ and keep the light alive.
Fog of War: Evolved
Light up a rich, complex, procedurally generated map to claim territory back from ‘The Veil’. A dynamic living death fog that conceals enemies, drains life from your troops and turns structures into spawning nests for the Nightmares. Holding the line against this terror is not for the faint of heart. Any units unfortunate enough to be too close to ‘The Veil’ become ‘horrified’, sending them into fits of fear and lowering their effectiveness. Only light cures the darkness, so fight in the light or pay the price.
Death Nights
Brace yourself against huge tidal waves of Nightmares. Leveraging an internally developed technology called ‘SwarmTech’ allows the game to render over 70,000 enemy units on the screen at one time. These enemy legions claw their way up through seething fissures in the earth to reinforce ‘The Veil’. When the Death Night begins, you’ll be weakened by a Malice – a random affliction capable of undermining the best laid plans. If you are fortunate enough to survive until dawn you will be rewarded with a choice of Blessings. Live or die, Death Nights will test your strategic skills to breaking point.
Heroes Vs Horrors
Lead the charge against the horrors of the night with powerful and unique Heroes. Using special abilities gained from levelling up, these Heroes can be key to turning the tide of a desperate battle. But beware, the Nightmares have elite roaming champions of their own that drop precious resources when killed, posing an extreme and ever-present threat to your expansion. Are you the hunter, or the hunted?
Early Access & Community
At PlaySide, we are passionate about working hand in hand with our players to help shape the evolution of Age of Darkness: Final Stand, both during Early Access and into the future. Our strongest desire is to have a title reflective of our gaming passion whilst providing a unique challenge that players from this genre both desire and demand. We look forward to building a long-term community and engaging with our players who share a like-minded vision of making a deeper, darker, challenging combat RTS experience.
“Age of Darkness: Final Stand heralds PlaySide’s expansion into the hardcore PC platform. As a studio created to develop AAA titles, the vision has always been to develop larger, more hardcore titles on PC and Console” said Gerry Sakkas, CEO, PlaySide Studios. “Age of Darkness: Final Stand is a testament to the grit, adaptability and talent of our artists, engineers and game designers. We’re extremely excited and anxious to meet our first wave of players on Steam and to finish building Age of Darkness: Final Stand together with the community!”
“The PC RTS genre is as wild and untamed as it is deep and complex. This is a space where anything goes and the player’s expectations are limitless” said Sean Gabriel, Lead Designer on the title. “Rising to that challenge and bringing PlaySide’s special blend of personality, experience, and talent to bear has been a herculean task of which we’re exceptionally proud. With Age of Darkness: Final Stand we’ve been able to combine our passion for Action RPGs, Roguelikes, and RTS games into something wholly our own – and we’re only just getting started.”

Booming Games launches Greedy for Gold: Hold and Win, second in series
Irish-themed slot runs a 5×3 layout with 20 fixed paylines and lists a 2,000x max win, plus Hold and Win and bonus buy options.
Booming Games has launched Greedy for Gold: Hold and Win, the second game in its Greedy for Gold series. The supplier said the slot uses a 5×3 grid with 20 fixed paylines and offers a maximum win potential of 2,000x.
The Irish-themed title includes Pot of Gold and Lucky Hat mechanics, plus Free Spins with Jumbo symbols and a Hold and Win feature. In the base game, Booming Games said the Pot of Gold feature collects non-triggering coins and can award Hold and Win on any spin, while Lucky Hat collects Scatter symbols for a chance to trigger Free Spins. Three, four or five Scatter symbols award 10, 15 and 20 Free Spins respectively.
During Free Spins, Jumbo symbols appear across reels 2-4, the company said. Jumbo Scatter symbols award an extra three spins, while Jumbo Value symbols trigger the Hold and Win feature. Value symbols range from 1x to 100x the bet amount, and filling the grid awards the Grand Bonus worth 1000x the bet amount.
Booming Games said Hold and Win starts with three respins, with Scatter symbols held in place and additional symbols resetting the respin counter to three. Players can also purchase a Mystery Bonus for 75x the bet amount or a Super Bonus for 100x, while a Boost+ side bet increases the bet amount by 25% and increases the chance of triggering bonus features with Bonus Buy.
Craig Asling, Director of Games at Booming Games, said: “While we have a dedicated pipeline of releases around St Patrick’s Day, our Irish themed games are popular with players all year round. With a number of innovative bonus features, the game demonstrates our commitment to delivering premium gaming experiences, and we’re confident that players will enjoy this latest addition to our collection.”

4 Pots Riches: Super Wheel
Playson adds Super Wheel mechanic to 4 Pots Riches slot series
4 Pots Riches: Super Wheel introduces a wheel-trigger tied to Bonus and Mega Bonus modes, with up to 10,000x payouts.
Playson has released 4 Pots Riches: Super Wheel, adding a new “Super Wheel” mechanic to its 4 Pots Riches slot line-up.
The Super Wheel feature triggers when a Super Wheel Symbol is present on the reels at the moment either the Bonus Game with Pot Features or the Mega Bonus Game starts. Playson said the wheel then spins to award either a Jackpot Coin, a Clover Coin, or a coin with a value of up to 10x.
In the Bonus Game, Clover Coins are collected by coloured pots above the reels and can trigger one of three pot features: Multi (adds multipliers of up to 5x), Collect (collects symbol values on the reels into the coin value, including multipliers), and Mystery (awards a Mini, Minor or Major Jackpot, or a random value of up to 75x the total bet). The Mega Bonus Game is played on an expanded 5×5 field and is accessed via a Mega Clover Coin in the main game, increasing the chance to land additional Clover Coins and features.
Playson also said a Golden Pot feature can randomly trigger during the Bonus or Mega Bonus Game, transforming into a violet, blue or red Clover Coin to activate or enhance features. Jackpot Coins can also appear, awarding Mini, Minor or Major wins worth 15x, 30x or 100x. Filling all 15 cells in the Bonus Game or all 25 cells in the Mega Bonus Game awards 3,000x and 10,000x wins respectively.
Anton Ivannikov, CPO at Playson, said: “4 Pots Riches: Super Wheel reflects our commitment to evolving successful game concepts with fresh mechanics that enhance engagement and excitement. The new Super Wheel feature adds an extra layer of anticipation to the bonus experience while complementing the proven appeal of our Pot Features.
“Combined with the Mega Bonus Game and Golden Pot enhancements, the release delivers a compelling blend of familiar mechanics and new opportunities. We believe it will resonate strongly with players and further strengthen the popularity of our 4 Pots series.”
