Dark Fantasy Survival RTS Age of Darkness: Final Stand Trailer and Early Access Announcement

Published

on

 

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.”

Evoplay guides players through frozen wilds in Mystic Alaska , Evoplay explores a wintry frontier with Mystic Alaska, created by Evoplay Studios, a production label within the company’s ecosystem.

Mystic Alaska combines atmospheric design, shamanic-inspired elements and feature-driven mechanics, offering potential payouts of up to 1,000x the bet when key features align.

Players encounter enchanted Coins, Magic Pots and Totem Portals throughout gameplay, unlocking instant rewards, fixed jackpots and wild multipliers. Wild symbols appear on reels two to four, substituting for all regular icons except Coins and Bonus symbols, helping complete winning combinations in both the base game and Free Spins.

Coin symbols carry random values ranging from 0.5x to 15x the bet and can trigger Mini, Mega or Super jackpots, reaching up to 1,000x the stake. The Magic Feature activates when a Totem Portal lands on reel one or five alongside at least one Coin, awarding all visible prizes and jackpots. When Totem Portals appear on both triggering reels simultaneously, all values are doubled.

Landing three or more Bonus symbols unlocks the Bonus Feature, where players can choose between Magic Spins and Free Spins. Magic Spins guarantee at least one Totem Portal per round, with multipliers and additional spins enhancing potential rewards. Free Spins introduce Wild multipliers of 2x, 3x or 5x, which combine when multiple Wilds contribute to a win, creating amplified payout potential.

For players seeking immediate feature access, a Bonus Buy option is available in selected markets, allowing direct entry into Magic Spins or Free Spins.

Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said: “Mystic Alaska captures the beauty and power of the Alaskan wilderness, transporting players into a world where spirits guide every turn. The combination of Magic Spins, Free Spins and powerful jackpots ensures each spin tells a story.

“The aim was to create a slot that balances narrative and feature clarity, giving players a sense of adventure while offering multiple pathways to potential wins.”

Games Global and Gameburger Studios turn up the tempo with 12 Pots of Gold: Drum Frenzy™ , Games Global, together with exclusive studio partner Gameburger Studios, has unveiled 12 Pots of Gold: Drum Frenzy™, a lively new franchise entry combining classic Irish-inspired design with feature-led gameplay for a fast-moving player experience.

Set in a vibrant emerald-themed world guided by fan favourite Flynn, the 5×3, 20-payline release builds on the established Epic Strike™ mechanic while introducing the new Drum Frenzy™ system, offering win potential of up to 5,165x.

At the heart of the game is the Epic Strike™ Tower, triggered by landing three or more Epic Strike™ symbols. Cash values can appear on these symbols and feed directly into the Tower, creating expanding prize potential and sustained engagement throughout gameplay.

Further depth comes from the Tower Bonus, activated through collected wilds and guaranteeing a reward that ranges from instant cash prizes to one of several Drum features, each providing a different route into enhanced gameplay.

12 Pots of Gold: Drum Frenzy™ features three Drum bonuses — Cash Drum, Jumbo Drum, and the headline Drum Frenzy™ — each offering its own spin structure and mechanics, from jumbo symbols and cash values to the full Drum Frenzy™ sequence where multiple gameplay elements combine for maximum impact.

Bonus Spins introduce additional progression through eight Epic Strike™ levels, while the optional Win Booster™ increases the probability of triggering features, adding further momentum to the experience.

Sam Moran, Associate Business Development Manager at Gameburger Studios, said: “We approached this title with the aim of keeping things straightforward but entertaining, building around features that are easy to recognise while still giving each spin a bit of unpredictability.

“Bringing the different drum bonuses together with Epic Strike™ gave us a solid structure to work from and helped shape a game that feels lively without being overly complex.”

David Reynolds, Director of Games Strategy and Partner Management at Games Global, added: “When established mechanics are executed with clarity, they consistently deliver – and 12 Pots of Gold: Drum Frenzy™ is a strong example of that. It is accessible and feature-driven, giving operators a dependable release with wide player traction.

“It also reflects our broader focus on building high-profile, long-term brands within our portfolio – ensuring we continue to invest in recognisable franchises that deliver sustained value for our partners.”

Ultra-strong Strike Boost Clover provides enhanced access to the Collect Feature and greater win possibilities.

Playson, the skilled digital entertainment provider, has enhanced its Clover collection of slots with the launch of Clover Strike: Hold and Win, adding Strike Boost Clovers to increase winning possibilities in both base and bonus gameplay.

The beloved Collect Feature energizes the reels in both the Main and Bonus Game, activated by landing either the high-voltage Strike Clover or Strike Boost Clover along with any Bonus Clover.

To enhance the thrill, landing Bonus Clovers on reels one and three, in conjunction with a Strike or Strike Boost Clover on reel two, leads to the Hold and Win Bonus Game, featuring exclusively Bonus, Strike, and Strike Boost Clovers. Bonus Clovers that reach display values of up to 15x will remain, while Strike and Strike Boost Clovers stay sticky throughout the round, with the latter collecting the value of all Strike Clovers that appear on the same spin for enhanced winning outcomes.

Focusing on base gameplay, Bonus access is additionally enhanced by the Pile of Clovers Feature. There is a chance of randomly activating at any moment during the main game, allowing for enough Bonus, Strike, or Strike Boost Clovers to be randomly increased in quantity to initiate the Bonus Game.

For thrill seekers looking for an extra dynamic to bonus play, a Super Bonus is also available for purchase, which guarantees one or more Strike Boost Clovers in action.

Playson’s vibrant new release underlines the supplier’s expertise in advancing its portfolio with intriguing twists, developing fresh concepts for operators’ players to enjoy worldwide.

Anton Ivannikov, CPO at Playson, said: “Our clover collection has consistently resonated with players, and Clover Strike: Hold and Win pushes that momentum even further.
