Ash of Gods: Redemption Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
Ash of Gods: Redemption offers a refreshing and unique combat system, coupled with some mesmerizing visuals following a rich and complex story.
Ash of Gods is a solid strategy RPG with impressive production values for its modest budget, but its story and lore and incredibly dense and could make it difficult to get into the game's visual novel elements if the plot and setting don't immediately grab you.
If you’re after a story-driven game with lashings of simple turn-based combat, you should really play The Banner Saga if you haven’t already. If you have and are left wanting more, however, then consider giving Ash of Gods: Redemption a try. It lives in the shadow of The Banner Saga because it simply isn’t up to its standard, but it does have merits of its own. If you have an Xbox One X and sit a fair distance away from your TV to play though, definitely give it a wide berth until you know its text has been enlarged via a patch. Assuming one is ever delivered, that is.
Ash of Gods: Redemption's visual flair and varied narrative choices aren't enough to keep a keep its tedious battle system and baffling writing afloat.
There is a lot to love with tactical gameplay. Measuring the playing field, choosing your party and taking your time to pick apart the enemy in the most efficient way. With only a few titles that fill that in the AAA industry, fans of the genre find themselves turning to the world of indie titles to quench their thirst. The latest title looking to fill that gap is AurumDust’s Ash of Gods: Redemption.
