Six Ages: Ride Like the Wind 1.0.16

Life between myths. Clans, cows, choices.

Six Ages is the spiritual successor to King of Dragon Pass, offering a captivating blend of interactive storytelling and turn-based strategy. The survival of your small clan relies heavily on its relationships with the warring gods and their followers. Gameplay involves various actions, such as improving pastures, embarking on explorations, trading with neighboring clans, and even conducting raids. Additionally, you can embark on journeys to the Otherworld to visit your divine deities. However, you will also face challenges that range from marauding dinosaurs to diplomatic requests to forbidden love affairs. It is crucial to make choices wisely as they can have significant socio-economic consequences, some of which may not be immediately apparent, but only become evident decades later.

The game is set in Glorantha, a fantastical world shared by titles like RuneQuest, HeroQuest, and 13th Age. In this realm, the laws of physics take a back seat to the capricious whims of gods and spirits.

Six Ages provides an incredibly replayable experience with over 400 interactive scenes that feature multiple outcomes. The inclusion of short episodes and automatic saving functionality allows for quick play sessions, even if you only have a spare minute or two. Additionally, the game boasts a built-in saga feature that chronicles your clan's story. Notably, you will receive guidance from advisors who possess distinct personalities and assist you in managing your valuable cows.
