Description
Life between myths. Clans, cows, choices.
The spiritual successor to King of Dragon Pass, Six Ages combines interactive stories and turn-based strategy. Your small clan’s survival depends on its relations with the warring gods and their followers. Play involves actions such as improving pastures, exploration, trading with your neighbors, and raiding. You can even travel to the Otherworld to visit your gods. You also need to deal with crises ranging from marauding dinosaurs to diplomatic requests to illicit love. Your choices have a politico-economic impact, but some consequences might not be obvious for decades.
It’s set in Glorantha (the world of RuneQuest, HeroQuest, and 13th Age), where the laws of physics are subordinate to the whims of the gods and spirits.
Six Ages is immensely replayable, thanks to over 400 interactive scenes with multiple outcomes. Short episodes and automatic saving mean you can play even when you only have a minute or two. The built-in saga writes down the story for you. And advisors with distinctive personalities help you track your cows.
148Apps: “… absolutely worth playing. … Six Ages uniquely weaves an astounding amount of of narrative, lore, and nonbinary decision-making into its gameplay that makes it feel truly unique and special.”
Touch Arcade: “… if you want to get lost in a world full of meticulous details and gameplay that isn’t quite like anything else, you’ll want to hop on to Six Ages as soon as possible.”
Pocket Tactics: “Six Ages holds a wealth of wonders few other games can match.”
One of Rock Paper Shotgun’s top 100 PC games of all time: “All your choices create a curious and gnarled tree of a story … that is sometimes funny, and sometimes a little distressing.”
Ben Silverman: “A heady mix of “Civilization” and a Choose Your Own Adventure game… Ridiculously deep and “just one more turn” addictive…”
When you complete Six Ages: Ride Like the Wind, you can continue your clan’s saga in Six Ages 2: Lights Going Out.
The game is completely accessible via VoiceOver.

Ratings and Reviews
Grear game, sometimes too short.
If you like fantasy and strategy/storytelling this is your game. While I have been a fan of the Runequest and Glorantha setting for years, the game explains the world via clan circle advisors and lore screen. It is therefore possible to get into the game without experience with tabletop. Some say not having experience with it may actually be helpful.
Unlike the predecessor King of Dragon Pass, which I have also played, the game is more streamlined when it comes to agriculture, with less micromanaging. Combat is now much more intensive and longer and more complicated, with much more tactical choices to be made in the middle. I personally enjoy it, especially once you figure out how to win more consistently. Hint: you need a warleader with high combat, with high leadership being a plus.
If I have to pick one thing I don’t like about the game, that would be lenght and duration. The map is bigger than in KoDP, so you cannot examine all of it in one playthrough. Unless you are extremely dedicated of an explorer. Some locations are also difficult to rediscover and after several playthroughs I still haven’t gotten one exploratipn event. Then again, this does add to re-playability immensely.
The dedicated characters with their own story arcs flesh out the clan nicely. Do you marry off your Fire Warrioress to another. clan to seal an alliance or not?
I have already played the sequel Lights Going Out on PC, but not yet on mobile. I do hope the third game will be made, but there is plenty of fun to be had with Ride Like the Wind and aforementioned game as it is.
Loistava peli
Jos King of Dragon Pass-peli on mieleen, tämäkin sopii varmasti makuusi. Ei mitenkään helppo, klaanin johtaminen on vaikeaa, mutta onnistuminen on sitäkin palkitsevampaa.
Mahtava kokemus
Erinomainen sekoitus interaktiivista fantsunovellia ja strategiapeliä.
Konseptina on johtaa fantsukylää eriskummallisten tapahtumien pyörteissä. Alkukynnys on aika tiukka, tutoriaalit ja webbivinkit kandee tavata läpi.
