What players say

Players split on Age of Darkness. Some love the co-op survival with random maps and high replay value, calling it a worthy tower-defense RTS. Others find the controls sluggish, units unresponsive, and the campaign unfinished with an anticlimactic ending. A recurring complaint is that development stopped after a short post-launch window, leaving bugs unpatched.
