Age of Darkness: Final Stand

In a kingdom swallowed by a deadly fog, you lead humanity’s defenders against the Nightmares emerging from the darkness. Light and fire keep the Veil at bay as you reclaim territory and protect your stronghold. Explore the map, gather resources, expand your settlement, and raise an army of units and defenses. The day-and-night cycle gives you time to grow and push outward before periodic Death Nights bring large enemy assaults. Choose a faction and a Hero, whose abilities develop as they level up. Survival and campaign modes offer solo play, while co-op lets two players face the threat together; Death Nights also bring random Malices or a choice of Blessings.

Build a fortress in a dark-fantasy RTS, explore fog-covered lands by day, and defend against Nightmare hordes at night.

Multiplayer The game supports online co-op multiplayer. Official text says players can team up with a friend, indicating 2-player co-op. Reviews repeatedly describe co-op survival with one friend and mention no PvP mode; some explicitly ask for campaign co-op or PvP to be added, implying those are not present. One review states the game uses peer-to-peer connections rather than dedicated servers.
Multiplayer & mods No multiplayer mod support is described. One review asks for Steam Workshop and broader mod support, but this is a request, not confirmed functionality.
