Repeating the announcement as the old one expired: Lately we’ve been getting a lot of negative reviews from people disappointed with Dungeon Rats because it is just a tactical combat game and lacks the storytelling and quest design we had in The Age of Decadence. Age of Decadence is a great game, but I just couldn't get into Dungeon Rats. There's almost no story, just fighting, and it's nowhere near as fun as I hoped it'd be. Not sure why they decided to make the follow up to one of the best crpgs I've ever played a boring and relentless combat slog with almost zero story. There’s not enough to do outside of combat. Dungeon Rats features no puzzles, no merchants, a minimal number of dialogues, and a extremely slim amount of exploration. I spent 99% of my game time in combat. I never expected the designers to make another Age of Decadence, but I expected to have more things to do and mor…

- First Look at Colony Ship's Combat - 23 December 2018

It's very rough, of course, as it's the First Iteration of the game and things will change a lot by the time the game is ready to be released. Right now you can talk to people, fight, loot bodies, increase skills and equip new gear. The dialogue scripts are working like a charm, so you can go through all the fights and get one of 5 endings of the upcoming combat demo. The AI is doing a pretty good job seeking cover, flanking, and using different attacks, so overall things are moving in the right direction. I'd say we need 2 months to get the combat system into shape before we start beta-testing, then another month before we release the combat demo and get some feedback. Anyway, here…

- Released! - 4 November 2016
Dungeon Rats, our second RPG, is now available. It’s an RPG focused almost exclusively on combat for players who like turn-based combat in general and Age of Decadence (our first game) combat in particular, so if you want to fight your way out of a prison mine (or die trying) you've come to the right place. What to expect? A combat-focused game with 50 fights. There are no filler fights, so each fight matters and you won’t be able to click your way through them. So if you’re a grizzled veteran of many campaigns, you can beat the game in about 10 hours. If you’re a new player, it can easily take you 25-30 hours. The first player who beat the game (and who’s much better at it than me) did it in 27 hours. Keep in mind it’s neither a sequel nor expansion to the Age of Decadence. It’s a combat game without social skills, multiple ways to complete quests, and branching questlines. Why this ga…

- Dungeon Rats: Age Of Decadence Spin-Off Hits Next Fri - 24 October 2016
When Cobbo and Livers played The Age of Decadence , they both tried to charm, cheat, and lie their way through Iron Tower’s mega-tough isometric RPG. I’m not sure I want to know what that says about them – or us. Anyway, they might have a harder time of that in Dungeon Rats , an upcoming combat-focused party-based RPG set in Age of Decadence’s world. Iron Tower have announced that Dungeon Rats will launch next week, on November 4th, and shared a little trailer showing turn-based action: …
