2025 marked the full release of Age of Darkness: Final Stand, a game I had the pleasure of reviewing for Firaxis this year.
The unique “SwarmTech” technology brings this game to life, allowing for tens of thousands of enemies to be displayed simultaneously on screen during intense and visually striking “Death Nights,” challenging players to strategize and build defensive structures effectively. The campaign stood out for me, with its intricate plot twists that kept me engaged from start to finish.
What makes Age of Darkness: Final Stand truly special is its well-designed single-player experience, complete with base-building mechanics, resource management, and a roster of distinctive heroes. In addition to the single-player campaign, players can look forward to an eagerly awaited cooperative multiplayer mode.
