The Age of Decadence
I don’t see many people talking about The Age of Decadence anymore, and that’s a massive shame considering that, in many ways, it feels like it prefaced these final stages of the return of classic, isometric cRPG. It’s not just that though, it did it within an absolutely amazing setting; First impressions might have you thinking it’s set within a twisted Greco-Latin setting, however, the world itself is actually a post-apocalyptic, crumbling world full of references and nods to crumbling cultures from throughout history.
It’s mechanically deep too, with a story filled with choices which do echo after you as you continue your journey, and the story itself feels like more of a mystery than trying to figure out how to save the world — after all, for most people in the world it had already ended.
