The game has been praised for its used of tactical turn based combat, permadeath, difficulty, and progression. The mechanics of the game have been expanded upon over the course of the early access period and received regular content updates.

Characters can also be equipped with various crafted and looted equipment.
The game’s story is also been pointed out as a positive note, alongside the main story, players will encounter various in-game events that will have choice and consequences. These choices can have great rewards or could risk the death of a group member. Weighing the potential risk of going after those extra supplies needs careful consideration. Dead Age is available now on Steam.
