Ash of Gods: Redemption ist ein rundenbasiertes RPG, das taktische Kämpfe, CCG-Elemente und eine sich ständig weiterentwickelnde Geschichte kombiniert, in der niemand vor dem Tod sicher ist, einschließlich der Hauptcharaktere.

GAMEPLAY
Ash of Gods ist die Geschichte von drei verschiedenen Protagonisten, die sich als Antwort auf eine Jahrhunderte alte Bedrohung erheben, welche einst als reine Folklore galt. Hauptmann Thorn Brenin, der Leibwächter Lo Pheng, der Schreiber Hopper Rouley und viele andere wissen noch nicht, dass die Schnitter zurückgekommen sind und beabsichtigen, die Welt in Blut zu tränken, um die schlafenden Götter zu erwecken.

Die Geschichte von Ash of Gods entwickelt sich aufgrund der Entscheidungen der Spieler ständig weiter und führt manchmal sogar zum Tod. Aber mit dem Tod eines Charakters endet das Spiel nicht. Stattdessen schreitet die Geschichte mit dem Tod dieses Charakters voran und frühere Entscheidungen beeinflussen zukünftige Ereignisse.

Das Kampfsystem in Ash of Gods ist eine Mischung aus traditioneller rundenbasierter Strategie und CCG Gameplay. Während individuelle Taktiken von den Fähigkeiten und Klassen deiner Charaktere abhängen, wirst du Karten freischalten und sammeln, die mächtige Fähigkeiten entfesseln und manchmal den Verlauf eines ganzen Kampfes verändern können.

WAS MACHT ASH OF GODS EINZIGARTIG?

Entscheidungen mit großen Auswirkungen Jede Entscheidung, ob auf dem oder abseits des Schlachtfeldes, kann den Verlauf der Ereignisse und das Schicksal der Gruppe mit großen Auswirkungen verändern. Aber selbst der Tod deines Anführers ist nicht das Ende deiner Reise.

I really want to like this game but ... If you compare it to banner saga its just horrible. First of - The dialogue is poorly written, but thats not that bad. The worst thing about the game is the combat. I loved the tactical combat of banner saga but the combat of ash of gods is just so boring and unecessary hard. Your Abilities seem pointless and the difficulty of the enemies is just too high in the beginning of the game. The Ai is dumb too.
I wouldnt mind the bad writing but the combat is just so bad i couldnt continue playing...

I absolutely love the story that I have been through so far and wish I could finish it, however the combat is a pain in the ass. The fact that it is alternating turns inevitably means that you get down to 1 enemy and he just keeps going, popping all your guys. It sucks because it disincentives good play. The enemy's cooldowns go down faster than yours due to repeating turns and they just run through you.

I was really annoyed when in mid-game I had to discover that the game decided that due to shortage of one single ressource, I could not proceed any further, could not even get back to a state where I could choose an alternative approach.
I would have had to start the tedious grind from the very start. Didn't do it, wasn't worth it. Nice graphics, bad game design.

If you like banner saga, buy it! The difference mainly lies in the turn based system being a bit awkward to get used to, but once you do its pretty much a no brainer. Personally I hope if there is a sequel that the combat gets more verticality kind of like what the guys who made octopath are working on right now. Beware, some roads traveled can completely disregard your character choices and put your character's development back where they started. This results in conflict at the end. One bad road.

Was very excited to get this game as it looks like Banner Saga clone. But that's where the similarity stops: only the graphics are similar to Banner Saga. The dialogue and tactic fighting are both sub-par. If you want to know why, read some of the other negative reviews. They do this game justice.

There is a lot to like about this game, but the party management just is not fun for players who want to play casually. I am playing on easy and it still is extremely difficult. I am not pro player, but I am not a novice either. It just isn't fun. I stopped playing just when I was starting to figure out the combat system. Having a system outside of combat that also punishes you and having almost no opportunities to prevent it, just ruined it for me.

It is beyond me that the develops have not made different modes to make the game more accessible. Their easy mode is like hardcore mode on other games.

Broken combat, you get a lot of allies but it's best if you only use 2 each fight for max experience gain and to exploit the bad sequence design.
Ok story
Not a RPG, it's more like a book with combat, I skimmed through most of the texts.

horrible game, story seems good but battles/combat make no sense. one guy vs 100, if you planned it out the 1 guy could win or at least kill most of the other group. Everyone takes turns which sounds nice, if you have a group then you move 1 then enemy moves 1 but cant move a guy in your group until you have moved everyone else in your group. so if you have 1 and they 100, you just got to make sure you move out of attack range of the next enemy who is moving, your one guy keeps getting to move since he is the only one in your group, but the 100 cant move again until it goes thru their entire group. Not sure if i explained it well but combat is bad and the game is largely combat. Also there are other parts of the combat that are annoying.

I boutht it in the hopes of playing a Banner Saga like game, but i was very disappointed by the unintelligible dialogs that is the main focus of the story progression(i played it in spanish and english, both trasnlations are trash). And besides the poor translation it's bugged. i refunded it the third time the dialog crashed.

The art is good and the combat is fine though.

I honestly thought is was by the same devs as the Banner Sage but it's not.

Fun to be had for lovers of this genre but with how at first glance inconsequential choices can heavily impact your playthrough and ending, I decided to use a guide. I really wasn't in the mood for trail and error and turning it into a loading simulator.

It is like a Banner Saga clone.
That would not be a problem.
The problem is that it is a poorly executed Banner saga clone!

I could not finish the game, shame, the story and characters seemed interesting. The art works are beautiful.
But the combat is frustrating and the translation is just horrible and ruins the game for me.

-Botched Translation:
You have to choose dialougue options. Too bad, if you don't understand half the time what is going on. Even worse, the choice you pick often does not match with what happens after... And yes, the decisions matter a lot!

-Frustrating Combat: Is it like in Banner Saga? No, because then it would be cool. It is just not fun at all... You damage your own characters with attacks... all the time...
They added cards, I was almost excited, maybe it's like Gwent? No, it is not... The cards don't help and are not additional to a move, you have to choose: attack or use a card. and oh, the cards have mostly bad effects...

-Difficulty: I started on normal... then switched to easy. But still ran out of stupid beetle charms to protect my group and so I could not continue...
And the game saves and overwrites for you, thank you very much...

Yes, maybe I suck or maybe it's the game. Go ahead, buy it and find out!

Gorgeous Art.
Fantastic Music.
Interesting plot (for what little I got through).

Absolutely, mind numbing combat, which makes up the majority of the game play.

I'm glad I got it on sale, but having specifically been looking for a turn based tactical RPG... I wish I hadn't spent the money.

If you like point-and-click adventures, this might be for you.
But I probably won't ever give it another try.

Liked the combat and story. What made me post a negative review is the strixes system, they are like the supplies in Banner saga, but worse implemented. Once the strixes system starts punishing you in chapters 6 and 7, I just can´t find the patience to go back pretty much to the beginning and give another try changing almost all my choices so I can obtain the strixes (which by the way eliminates the possibility of having differente choices, you always have to choose the shortest route and to do whatever gets you strixes, even if it is an option you don´t want to choose) . The devs say that you can try story mode( wish I won´t because that is far less interesting). All in all a good game that got ruined for me due to a poorly implemented mechanic.

The banner saga influence in very heavy here. Banner saga was more on story then combat even though it did have more accessible strategy combat. This i the same vein. The story is ok and I can see that the developer did put some thought into it. There are some ideas that is unique to the game but you know the developers were hardcore fans of banner saga. The story i decent as the game overall. I kick started this one and was basically expecting a game like this even through I had some higher expectation in terms of gameplay and story. Its a an indie developer who I am sure will offer even more in the future so I would give my money to an indie over a aaa money pit. For me I would wait for sale but a decent one overall.

I love the art style, the music and the story. I am a huge fan of the banner saga trilogy and what i also like about ash of gods is again the weight on decisions and how the story is told.
Why can't i recommend this game tho? Because of the gameplay. The fights are utter bs. It couldn't be more random. You like to play tactical? You love to plan ahead and play strategically like it was in the banner saga games?
How about a massive pile of RNG instead?!

Surprisingly a solid project with an intriguing story and lots of dialogues reading.
And every decision you make during this conversations can take you to a different results like choose-your-adventure books.
More than that, game has nice artwork and cut-scenes here and there, cant say much about music - it exists but nothing special.
Combat system is satisfying, you gain your EXP progress and items to equip teammates and you have an option to choose your fight style combining your ranged, damage, magic or tank troops.
So far I've enjoyed the story, fighting, characters and settings of this medieval world.

A beautiful style of drawing, a fascinating plot (I sit on lonely evenings playing a game, carefully read the dialogues - it's very interesting, I enjoy it), music creates an atmosphere, your choice of answer in dialogues and choice of action in general affects the further passage of the game.
All characters are different, each with its own story, motivation and purpose. The developers really worked hard. The game is precisely for a calm, attentive passage.

Separately, I can single out the musical component that takes us to the Middle Ages.

Everything is fine in this game, but it is important to warn about two points:
1. The combat system is unusual and you may not immediately enter its feature, replaying the battles over and over again, which can start to annoy. However, as soon as the nuances of the mechanics open up, it will be easy to win, the main thing is to be careful.
2. The game really has a non-linear storyline and its development can hurt fans of perfect endings. In this regard, the game is as harsh as a roguelike, and the decisions made at the beginning can easily affect the events at the end, and, as you understand, it just won't work to load - God forbid half of the game is not fun to go through again.

In other words - playing hardcore in a good way, which adds drama to the narrative. If you appreciate a good non-linear storyline, no matter how it develops, then take it boldly. After the first passage, you will want to go through at least one more time.

The games that I replayed IMMEDIATELY, after the first playthrough, can be counted on the fingers of one hand. Ash of Gods became one of them. Moreover, I downloaded some of the forks separately to watch different outcomes.
Even so, I can see that I have missed a huge layer of content.

Thanks to the developers for a great time with this game.

I tried very hard to like this game. A lot of care and effort was put into making it look good. Unfortunately, the same level of care and effort was not put into making it play well. The dialogue choices feel more like flavor text for the same choice and the world seems like it could be interesting at face value, but the exposition is forced and bland. Most importantly, the combat system is shallow and boring. I'm a big fan of turn based strategy games and the biggest thrill of such games is finding different combinations for building your characters and your squad. This game essentially builds the characters for you and the only significant differences from one character to the next seem to be stats and range.

I've played it an hour or two... And I just cannot get around the idiocy of having a round robin combat system. You can have 6 people on the board to their 1, and your people move at 1/6th the speed of the enemy. It's ridiculous. You cut down an enemy, it should mean that they have one less attacker. But no. You have one person move, then they move, then you, then they... Ridiculous, and that one thing turns me off from the game.

Having bought this game, I did not regret the purchase for a minute. I liked the graphic style even more than Banner Saga, and there is nothing to say about the combat game-it is a head higher here, although it suffers from the general problems of inexpensive linear tactical games, in particular repeatability. Laying the same ideas as the Banner Saga, Ash of Gods: Redemption manages to create an interesting world with its own mythology, while I want the authors not to go further into the problems of the coming end of the world in possible sequels, but more concerned with political perepetiy.

This is a fantastic game with a cool storyline, great atmosphere, gorgeous soundtrack and beautiful art.
I have not received such a shake from the combination of the plot and the accompanying music since the days of The Witcher.
There are many choices and their consequences. You really empathize with all the heroes. Each one is painstakingly guided by his plot, checking each subsequent step, in the hope of getting a good ending. By the way, you can lose heroes here. They are quite mortal ... They can be executed, mutilated, or they can simply die of wounds.
In general, just fantastic! I discovered another incredible game where I did not expect at all.
10 out of 10.

honestly this game has SO many great ideas
but they kinda all fall short,
story is interesting but feel rushed in some places and slow in others, and the written english is full of errors¨
combat systems are fundamentally fun BUT the fights are either too EASY or too HARD
the world progression is interesting but too unforgiving at times to be enjoyed
the characters are great and diverse, but your PCs already have a predisposition of either distrust,trust, like or dislike, i really liked a certain rogue character by my PC could only say negative things, judgemental things, and tell her she was untrustworthy - RIP
only like 1% of the text is voice acted so the game is basically a full on read-a-thon which would have made it a much better graphic novel, or anime or just a book LOL
the death mechanic is fun, you need to constantly be aware of rescourse spending and party mangement but the whole system even with its perma death mechanic doesnt actually effect much and eventually becomes a chore
the map is vast and large, but only exist to simulate freedom, the player is actually quite railroaded
the game has a decent length, 15 hours and not finished yet, so it has a acceptable length
overall i see alot of potential in this title but i cant really recommend it

Not a bad turn-based game. Very interesting gameplay. Interesting fights, something that is really very little now in such games. Very good story with beautiful and atmospheric world. A good musical accompaniment, which is very well immersed in the game. Separately, I can express the pumping system, because it is very intellectually simple, which is a plus, and it is also very diverse. An interesting system with items, what you can take or buy, sell, you can combine with all your characters, although this is not new, but not all games have it, well, plus if it is, then it is impossible not to emphasize. Another of the advantages is that there is multiplayer, which, in my opinion, is not in all games. If in general to sum up, then the game is good for its genre, I recommend it.

I’m not usually writing reviews, but damn. This game is so bad. First the combat mechanic, unintuitive at first, becomes annoying later on. The enemies getting stronger with every fallen comrade, your characters many times getting one-hitted and most of them are useless with weird queue mechanic on top. Battle outcomes are feels bitter and bring no satisfaction.

I don’t know how far in a story I am, but I’m tired of this game. The story so far is boring. The walls of text are effectively discouraging me from enjoying the plot.

One thing that this game is doing good is the graphics.

Who played Baner Saga - this game is better. Very good, well thought out, addictive. There is a place to think and pull your conscience. Even small decisions have an impact on the ending. Where everything grows is clear only at the end of the game - not before. Thoughtful ENT and world. The action game is different than in Baner Saga, so who played it-be prepared for this (I first broke my brain a little).
from the cons: a Lot of new words, nationalities and names. Very different complexity of the action game depending on the complexity of the game.

I must first say, at this point, the game is around 10 hours of taking your time, less if your rushing more if your experimenting with builds and tactics, etc. The game is great fun, one of the best RPG's I have played in a very long time and once you start to get into the story, the game seems to finish its Early access, so be warned. Just as you get into it, you will have to wait for more. More is what you will want.
The graphics are good, yet the close up on characters is a bit off but for an EA I know this will change for the better. The game play is great, your characters very much act the way you have rolled them and was surprised with the interaction the characters have with each other. Their remarks at times had me on the floor laughing. I would suggest supporting this game now, its very well done but short for now. Will be a must for RPG and tactical gamers at full release. Great job guys. Blew away the other game I will not mention for the lack of stuff you guys have put in.

This game can barely hold a flame to Banner Sage and was a waste of my $7.00 . Let's compare:

Story:
The story might be good. It's hard to tell when the grammar is SO bad you make back braking decisions because you can't understand WTF is written. It's like trying to understand the ramblings of a 5 year old with dementia. It's beyond frustrating to make game changing decisions when you can't understand what you're actually making a decision about.

Combat:
While AOG does clean up some of the combat issues of Banner, the tech trees are rudimentary with little synergy between classes or even characters. I can't count the # times I had a mage with a 150 energy with absolutely NOTHING to spend it on. While Banner has some combat issues at least they understand how to create synergy between your characters and how to make combat feel fun.

In closing, I felt so bad about this game I actually wrote a long review (which I never do) that's how much this POS pisses me off. Outside of the artwork (which is Banner Saga level) there is really nothing redeeming about this game. Save your money and purchase Banner Saga instead.

Of the advantages, I can note:
+ Music
+ Voiced moments (where they appear)
+ History
+ Characters are quite colorful, good opportunities for roleplaying
+ The combat is different from the banner of the saga, but after a couple of battles you get used to it and everything becomes clear
+ Visual
The only drawbacks are the strange expressions that slip through the atmosphere. Not often, but it happens.
Overall, very good. Expectations are justified.

While the combat is somewhat quirky what really kills this game for me is the dialogue and resultant action. Often the actions following the dialogue choices make no sense. Not only that, the English dialogue has a grammatical quality that is a little better than an 'all your base are belong to us' level. My immersion in the game was frequently stymied as a result.

This is a real shame because the game is great to look at.

I'll be 100% honest with you, I bought this game with the misinformation that this was a game by Stoic Studios. I couldn't believe a game could borrow so much from the Banner Saga series and not be a product from the same developer or at least have some relation to those games, but Ash of Gods has zero to do with it.

On the positive side, the Artwork is absolutely amazing and the writing is done with love, though you can tell it was translated from another language, especially in scenes that occur outside the typical story beats.

On the negative: It is extremely clunky. The fight ui is unclear and you'll spend a lot of your early game just trying to navigating the targeting menus and understanding how Energy works. The TCG element is then thrown in there and instead of adding a layer of depth, it just feels like more clutter, especially with how wordy some of the tooltips feel.

For those on the fence: In a world without Banner Saga, this game might have stood out. Today though, its just a beautiful looking game thats ruined by its clunky ui and control set up. Just replay the Banner Saga again dude, save yourself some money.

This game started out very exciting and quickly became too hard to play. The menus don't work half the time when you are trying to drag and drop items. The combat is near impossible, not challenging, impossible. By the third or fourth battle there is no way to win on a high lvl than 1 with all your people surviving. The story starts out interesting and quickly becomes over baring and depressing. The dialogue makes little sense as far as choices go, and suddenly you are losing or gaining loyalty which I never found interesting or useful. There needs to be some more work done on the balance between combat and dialogue. Ohhh and by the way there are three plots going at the same time and just about when you start to get comfortable with a group you have to change to another one for a certain amount of time. It is very irritating jumping for story line to story line. At this time I would not recommend this game.

20 hours for THAT ending?! That was so bad.

Pros :

- The artwork is amazing
- The fights are extremely hard but make you really attached to your strong characters

Cons :

- The story translation leaves a LOT of the dialogue options not making any sense
- The voice narration doesn't line up with what you're reading
- There are tons of spelling and grammar mistakes
- The card system, turn system, and movement are not easy to understand at first (and that doesn't translate to them being rewarding-ly complex later... it's just clunky)
- The items you can purchase make very little difference until the very end
- You swap between overpowered super characters and groups that die constantly
- The story has MAMMOTH gaping plot holes that are not resolved in the end

I bought the game because of The Banner Saga and at first it looked like it was a perfect follow up.
I wish now that I hadn't.

At first look in front of us is a complete analog of BannerSaga, but after playing for a couple of hours, I can safely say that it is not so. Exciting story (with different variations of endings and plot progress), beautiful visualization, excellent music, the basics of the battle, which do not depend on chance make this game a project that is very worth playing.

This is a fantastic game with a very cool storyline, great atmosphere, gorgeous soundtrack, beautiful art and high-quality voice acting.
A very pleasant game for fans of The Banner Saga series and just amateurs.
In the game we play as 3 different squads. And from the very beginning you begin to live with the heroes, you go through the battles to keep everyone alive. Various decisions made during the game will then come out in the form of consequences.
The combat was done in turn-based mode. At first it seemed that it was very simple, but when I started losing to ordinary opponents, I began to suspect that I was doing something wrong. In the final battles, I had to sweat so much in order to somehow go through the next battle.
In general, the game is top. I advise everyone to play (it doesn't cost that much).

Ash of Gods: Redemption is full of flaws, but this is the best thing that has happened to Russian game development since the days of Space Rangers and King's Bounty. Yes, taking other people's mechanics as a basis, the studio AurumDust, by and large, has not managed to bring into them something really of its own, important and high-quality. Yes, the battles do not have enough difficulty, but in future updates, you can introduce a hardcore mode.

The very ability to create history, coupled with the presence of three really different glav heroes, who can play opposite roles even within the same passage, makes you continue to play Ash of Gods: Redemption with interest. And replay. And wait for new works by AurumDust.

Most importantly, Ash of Gods: Redemption has real non-linearity. The decisions we make affect not only some local events, for example, whether they steal resources from you or, on the contrary, earn a little extra money, but also the course of the plot itself. Not only are the endings different here - different players can get different stories.

Pros: interesting world; three different main characters; captivating and truly non-linear storyline; beautiful picture; great music.

Cons: a lot of water in the dialogues; battles lack complexity and often logic; there are mistakes in the texts.

I don't often write reviews and when I do, I usually try to write them for games I enjoy, not to talk poorly about games that I don't, but with Ash of Gods I'll have to make an exeption. This game clearly has had some effort put into it (even if a lot of it's good elements are blatantly ripped of from the Banner Saga) and every game can allow itself to have a few weaknesses, if it's strengths make up for it.
The problem with this game is that it is written incredibly poorly! Clearly nobody thought to hire a decent writer for this game and it shows. The dialoge feels stiff and unnatural at best and is an almost unconnected string of exposition at worst. Instead of introducing concepts organically or simply giving you a wiki with knowledge about the world, characters are forced to vomit up explanations for completely unrelated topics. For a game that relies so heavily on story and pads out the scences between battles with text, this is a dealbreaker... This isn't a shooter where you sit through the dialoge to get to the gameplay, this is a game where the players understanding of the world and attachment to the characters is meant to inspire meaningful choices. And that is simply impossible, if every line reminds you that someone wrote this without knowing what they were doing...
I feel bad for writing such a bad review, but just in case someone from AurumDust reads this: HIRE WRITERS NEXT TIME! This could've been a great game!
To summarize (and because ppl like lists):
The Good
- the artstyle is wonderful and was a huge part of what motivated me to buy this game in the first place
- the combat seems like it might be a fun tactical experience (I have only played a handful of battles)
- there seems to be a good deal of worldbuilding (but it's unfortuantely burried in poorly written dialoge)
The Bad
- the writing! oh my god the writing is bad!
- all the good things (artstyle, combat and at least some of the worldbuilding) are just copied of the Banner Saga

If you don't mind the writing or if you intend to skip all of it, you might be very well justified in enjoying this game, but unfortunately I can't.

From passing the game for these hours I got a lot of pleasure. There are some minor flaws and controversial points, but the game turned out to be good. The plot is quite intriguing, the dialogue well-written, which at first seemed too much but, when drawn into the story relishes in narrative characters, important carefully to read and what not to miss. And of course the music that gives the game its own unique charm. The combat system is easy to learn, you can easily figure out how to act, you can not worry. A lot of charismatic characters with a logical narrative.

The biggest problem I had was with the writing. There are a lot of characters that appear that I should empathize with, but the writing makes that incredibly difficult. There are story-driven games out there with multiple POV's that can be really well done, but this isn't one of them. The jumps in point of view are sudden and instead of feeling like we were left on a cliffhanger (and I must know more), it felt like, 'Oh, we're moving somewhere else now? Okay, sure, whatever.' Characters showed up and characters died, and I didn't care one bit.

The quality of the writing is terrible, and it definitely feels like something was lost in translation somewhere. We're given a huge amount of lore very quickly, but not in any way that is engaging or memorable. This game tells you when it should be showing you, and shows you things when it should be summed up in a line of text. It's incredibly frustrating.

Another big issue is that the combat system isn't balanced at all. A blend of useless skills and skills that are way too OP are littered throughout this game. Combat is honestly a mess and I just hate the mechanics. This game feels like it could've been great, but it took two steps backwards and put their dialogue together from papers that went into the shredder first.

First and foremost, no, this game isn’t a rip-off of The Banner Saga. Yes, UI design and general premise feel similar, however when you stop finding resemblances for a second and actually dive into the story, you’ll be surprised how good it is.
I’m not going to spoil you the plot, but it’s really fundamental – and feels more alive than The Banner Saga’s one. TBS is more like a Nordic saga mixed with depressing apocalyptic mood and some Silmarillion vibe – when you realize that everything is slowly decaying and dying, but the world used to be much brighter and better place. However, in Ash of Gods it’s… well, 100% dark fantasy with bad and disgusting stuff happening everywhere even without a big bad disaster. Yes, it’s also apocalyptic but the mood is way different – this world may be dying but it’s already rotten to the core and survived few previous apocalypses. So, The Banner Saga is more like classic high fantasy and Ash of Gods is more like modern dark fantasy with a tablespoon of high fantasy mixed in.
Well, about graphics – it looks very polished and stunning. Especially backgrounds and character sprites. My only complaint is pretty minor – that Hopper doesn’t look like an old man, even though it’s clearly stated in the text, and also Reapers don’t look like disgusting living corpses but like grey aliens. So yeah, even though graphics is good, it’s not always accurate.
Music is AMAZING! I often listen to the soundtrack over and over, and over again because how good and memorable it is.
Your choices do matter in the game, and it really changes – every playable (and some unplayable) character in the game can die one way or another, and the story will carry on without them, leading you to one of many endings. Plus there’s also a hidden timer in the game, and if you’re taking too much time exploring the map and choosing longer routes, you’ll certainly miss some useful encounters, and even some story-important characters may die because of your sluggishness.

Gee… I don’t know what else to say to encourage you checking out Ash of Gods. Hmmm… maybe that battles are challenging… Oh! And also don’t forget to set up camps often – during these breaks you can chat with party members and learn more about them.

I liked this game more than The Banner Saga.
And that's the single thing that I'm going to say about the comparison of these two. We all know that they are similar. The developers know that too, and they even included a couple easter eggs regarding this in the game. But they are actually different.

First of all, this game has one major flaw: its English translation is awful. It took me just half an hour to realize that and switch to Russian. Russian is original language for this game. Russian texts are brilliant and the characters start to have personality. If English is your only option then I'd rather recommend you to wait for a better translation. Not sure though if the developers are even considering doing it. And I can't say anything about other languages, maybe they are good too.

But if you can struggle through this problem, then the game will shine for you. Its story is rich and complicated. There are actually 3 stories, which will weave together in the end. While playing this game, you should not be careless and should pay attention to the details, because they matter a lot. Your choices affect the story and there are quite a lot of them, so it might be a good idea to replay it once more. I've played it twice and I don't regret.

The story is made in form of a visual novel, and it looks like a good visual novel. The art style of this game is just amazing. Every character, place and even map is high quality, well detailed and beautiful. I've spent quite some time examining them. What makes it even better, the music in this game is magnificent. One of the best soundtracks I've encountered.

Besides being a visual novel, it also is a turn-based RPG. You level up your characters as you fight, and all three parties has different strengths and weaknesses in their battles, leading to different feel of the combat for every one of them. The combat system might look overwhelming at first, but you don't have to rush it, just spend some time reading skill descriptions and it will click.

This game is full of details, not only in art, but also in story and in gameplay. So many details, but the developers were able to connect them into a single solid game. Great work.

TL:DR:Game had a ton of potential, poor balancing of combat and the multiple parties you play as kills the experience, as well as very poor or bad dialogue, and choices being incredibly vague. Read the rest for explanation as to why. I only played it once and may only replay it for Achievs

It starts off with high potential, the world and artstyle drew me into the game and I was excited to play what I originally thought would not appear as a Banner Saga ripoff. However everything just felt too similar to the banner saga, as well as combat was not that fun AT ALL! You have to play the game on easy mode, or otherwise on normal difficulty on a certain part of the game YOU CAN GET SOFT LOCKED very hard into a few difficult battles that the game just doesn't give you the means to progress by without all of your characters dieing almost in those battles.

IT IS VERY EASY for characters to stack up injuries (When they die in combat they gain a injury that lowers their stats a little, if they die 4x they perma die from your party) because on normal difficulty alone characters just start getting shot down quickly through the middle of the game.

The balancing between the multiple parties you play as is terrible. The initial protagonist you play as named THorn Brenin has the best development throughout his route in terms of characters that join your party, fairness of battles etc with a few moments that will feel like your being shot in the ass.

The protagonist who you play as named Lo Pheng however has very poor level scaling, his party will definently be underleveled in comparison to Thorn, when you are introduced to him his party also conveniently has ALOT OF MEMBERS who are low HP and when you first use them it is insanely easy to have them take alot of injuries in the first battles alone.

I would not reccomend this game, but I only bought it due to being able to buy a code for a few dollars. I think the developers need to more properly balance the characters you get into your party, certain skills are just outright useless in combat, you basically should always be prioritizing characters who are big meat walls on any difficulty that is not easy. The card system feels unnesecary, I went the entire game without using it tbh. I feel the devs could have dedicated more resources to properly balancing the combat rather than putting yugioh cards in.

I really do want this game to be good, but the utter lack of care for balance has killed any desire of me to reccomend it to others, as well as poor story design. The worst part was the voices for characters when your scrolling through them are fucking COUGHS. Who had the ingenius idea that scrolling through characters I'd want to hear awkward coughing????

The story is fun and intriguing at first, but slowly characters begin to feel hollow and unfleshed out or uninteresting. Towards the end is when everything starts to shit itself and bad writing flies out the ass. So many decisions throughout the game have such a massive impact for the most unexpected of things.

I really love turn-based combat games and while Ash of Gods's combat system is alright it's also quite flawed. Some skills are over-powered and some are useless, the game has a system where you spend large chunks of HP to make certain attacks, and the game doesn't do a good job of explaining how the combat system works. I think the combat is alright but needs improvement.

The story is decent but is very choppy and can be long at times. I've often found myself surprised at random plot points have come up out the blue without context and found some points to drag out for far too long.

As of now I don't really wan't to leave mid way though the game.

Art is beautiful tho

It seems to be a visual novel that masquerades as a turn based strategy game. The Story might be interesting, but the gameplay is just too shitty for me to want to watch it play out. The out of combat gameplay seems to be trying to be TTG style, and it might pull that off, much, much later, but from what I saw it was basically just buffing or debuffing NPC 'loyalty' stats, which gives them a slight buff or debuff in combat.
The combat gameplay, meanwhile, is just horrible. It's technically turn based strategy, but it abandons everything that TBS have been doing since D&D first came out, and not to be original or something, it just seems like they didn't know what the hell they were doing. No initiative means that you choose which char you want to move, when, rather than there being any order that you have to actually try to manipulate, but you still cant use char 1 until you've moved the whole team at least once, and teams take turns... which sounds good, but to be clear, you move a dude, then the enemy moves, then you, then them, regardless of any other circumstances. So, for instance, if you take 6 guys into combat, and the enemy only has one, that one moves 6 times faster than your people, meaning that there are no numbers advantages, meaning that it's pointless to actually utilize the size of your group. Actually, that's not true, it's not that there are no advantages, it's that it's a disadvantage to bring in more people, because if you take in inferior people to increase your group size, in hopes of giving yourself a numbers advantage, you just have to use the inferior people, in order to use your whole team, before you can use your useful people again, meanwhile the enemy keeps using their one powerful dude. Instead, you're better off taking 1 or 2 powerful people into battle, while the rest of your party jerks off in the corner, and those 1 or 2 suddenly get 6 or 3 times faster than they should be, and fly around the battlefield in a shower of blood.

In summation, the story might be cool, the TTG decision deal might be interesting, much much later, but the shit combat, and 'make your own completely superficial choices, while we lead you down the same path we want you to go down anyway' out of combat gameplay, made me ditch this nonesense before any of that could come to fruition. Glad I got it on sale at least...

I can't stress enough how much I wanted to completely enjoy this game, but I simply cannot enough to give it a good recommendation. It isn't that it's even completely terrible. I just wouldn't feel comfortable with the risk in telling other people to spend money on something I wasn't nearly certain they'd enjoy. I will explain: The gameplay is difficult to manage at times. UI isn't exactly fluidly intuitive, and has some clunks. Classes like tanks seem pointless because the computer simply ignores them. Battle Cards are mostly useless with only a few good ones if you're lucky. And then there's the dialogue. I know this is a story as well as a game but it's needlessly verbose to the point where I'm just skipping the dialogue most times. The 3 different stories at once feels disruptive to me as well. Stick with one chapter and finish it without trying to make them all happen at once. There is also either translation errors or grammar errors that were simply overlooked and not checked. Maybe if the game were 3 dollars I'd say try it out, but don't pay real money for this.

I will start by saying that i love turn based game but this one got it all wrong.
They have some cool idea with the world travel and choices you have to make but none of that can redeem this game.
The combat system is so so so horrible that this isn't worth 8$.

I was playing on standard. The first 2-3 fights are just push over. Then you get back your own crew and god dam does it suck.
They make you choose 6 characters between a set of 3 good one and 5 completely USELESS ones. Most enemies will simply one shot anyone of your party that isn't one of the main 3. Tanks are useless as enemies will ignore them and just go straight to one shotting your dps.

Now, that kind of damage is something you can work around to your advantage with the card system and all but the biggest flaw this game has is this. The more enemies you kill, the harder it gets. There is no number advantage in this game.
If you have 6 units, all of them have to act once because you can reuse the good ones. On the other hand, if only one enemy is left, that one enemy will play between every single one of your actions. The game give you cool cards to use? DONT. They just give the enemy an advantage. You want to use that mage that can buff your crew? DONT. You just give the enemy an advantage.
Their health and endurance system could be interesting if it was better done.
The different attack your characters have makes no sense. One of your main character who has about 40hp at full life has an ability that cost 30hp to use. It is unusable because you will simply die the next turn.

All and all, i do not wish to play this game anymore. I had fun early on really, i was eager to see the progression on my character but it became clear that the studio that made this game had no clue what they were doing and this is sadly a lost 8$ for me.

This game had serious potential. But one rally dumb mechanic is when you begin to widdle down the enemy forces, you end up strengthening them because they can then use the same guy over and over again. When the single opponent attacks over and over again, they kill off your units while you are forced to use every single unit at least once; even if they are on the other side of the battlefield and cannot contribute to the current situation. You lose by winning, wonderful, right?
I don't understand the idea of punishing players for making good plays and reducing the enemy numbers with sound tactics, only to get punished later and lose characters for doing so, which affects the story, making it feel even worse.

In a game like this where is death is final and the characters are gone for good, it's inexcusable. I picked this up for $8, and I still returned the dumb thing because these developers don't even deserve $8 of my money.
It saddens me because it had such potential, but I'll buy other tactics game with the money I got back.

The translation is so bad that it's the only game I've ever refunded on steam. I'm not sure how you can spend this much time and effort into crafting a unique setting that heavily leans on it story only to shove it through what appears to be an autotranslator .

TL;DR: Wait for this game to be re translated

I think this game could be amazing, the art style is great. The battle mechanics interesting.
The big thing holding this back is the writing. Its not bad, just poorly translated. Its difficult to enjoy a story based rpg when you don't understand what choices you're making.

This game has the most broken combat system I have seen in turn based games so far... Your usual turn based combat game tries to be an enjoyable abstraction of reality with fantasy elements. As far as game mechanics allow. Not in here. The combat system in this game is an abstraction of developer stupidity. Nothing makes sense. Neither the double damage to health via damage to energy, nor the fact that killing enemies in effect makes the remaining ones faster, nor the fact that characters loose health while executing special moves.

Combat here is basically as much enjoyable and intuitive as solving artificial no-one-really-cares-about problems from a high school math exercise book.

Add to that the oh-so-forced tragedy of your party basically constantly closing to the brink of death simply while traveling due to scarcity of life preserving resource. And the end result is a simulator of purely artificial poverty and tragedy that has no connection to reality what so ether. Nothing to learn, nothing to intuit and it's simply not fun.

The only redeeming quality of this game is artwork and story, as far as I have seen, before the remaining stupidity maid further playing unbearable.

Uninstalled and forgotten.

Well, yes, the game is not a masterpiece, but it is still an amazing game and a great experience. Ash of gods is a unique game and I can feel how developers did all their best and made the game with love and passion. There are some problems with dialogues and storytelling, I did find myself sometimes confused about what the heck is going on or what are characters talking about. Nonetheless, the story is amazing, characters itself are interesting and I did find battles and mechanics quite entertaining. Surely I am waiting for the sequel.
P.S. Animations in battles are top notch! I just freaking love them! My special thanks to actors who did Bolla and Andra (or Foshta, whatever) movements and animators who did rotoscoping, astonishing work.
P.S.S. music is also amazing, as you should expect from composer of The Witcher.

Don't let the hours of how much I've played fool you. This is out of frustration trying to pass a battle where random lighting bolts come from the heavens and pick off my characters one by one. Right when my last character would get the killing blow....lighting bolt.....-33 damage.....insta-kill.....mission lost

Art 10/10
The characters and landscapes are absolutely breathtaking to look at, absolutely top-notch.

Music 10/10
This is a game where you definitely want to leave the music turned on, and kept at a loud volume, because it's amazing. The battle tracks make combat feel more exciting, and the tracks that play during key story moments are perfectly tuned to invoke feelings pertinent to those moments.

Writing 6/10*
The overall story is a solid one, but the execution is flawed. The quality level varies wildly over the course of the game, and while it does have its great moments, this variance does it a disservice. Many story elements are similar to The Banner Saga, but in a way that feels like unintentional copying rather than an artful homage.
*It also must be mentioned that English is not the native language of the writers, so some things have been muddled by the translation. They are working on this.

Gameplay (Non-Combat) 8/10
There is a wide expanse of potential choices in the game - including a whole host of factors that lead to many different endings, making it quite replayable, for those that enjoy doing so. Some events you can encounter along the way are subject to randomness, adding just a bit more, though a lot of this stuff ends up having a rather minor impact on the actual story or gameplay, it's mostly just to keep things fresh and help add more atmosphere.

Gameplay (Combat) 4/10*
This was the aspect of the game that I ended up feeling was weakest, by the time I finished. Especially compared to the Banner Saga, the combat feels less polished, less strategic. There are some abilities which seem to serve almost no purpose, there are times when you seem to have no real strategic choice (for any number of reasons), and there are certain optimal tactics which - once you figure them out - make it almost impossible to lose.
*The Multiplayer is also currently in an unfinished state, but they are working on improvements.

This is a weird game. It is heavily story based with some combat that often feels a little puzzle-like. I am upvoting it becasue I like the originality and creativity that the designers approached the game with. It certainly engaged my attention and kept me coming back for more to finish the story. But I don't think I will play it again. I finished in about 18 hours.

Pros: Character development like XCOM building your abilities of choice to make the squad play like your own, interesting art, very interesting story, a feeling that your choices matter, and a very break-the-mold feel.

Cons: For me not much replay value, a constant feeling of being a little confused about what is happening (this is partly deliberate and designed, I am sure), but above all WHO THE HECK TRANSLATED THE DARN DIALOGUE? A lot of it is disjointed and contradictory and baffling. Sometimes the characters are having conversations where they either don't reply to what the other said, or say something that contradicts the spirit of the choice you just made as a player, or their emotional tone bounces wildly between extremes for no reason. This majorly detracted from my ability to feel like I had agency in crafting my characters' courses across the world- since the PC and NPC remarks were both uncorrelated to what just happened or what i chose, I was a confused passenger rather than a challenged driver.

A decent story, good turned based combat and nice design.

The game has some flaws also; sometimes too much story and too few combat moments (near the end it is equal), stuff will happen and nobody respons about the afthermath if cleary something or someone is missing, answering a riddle wrong means you get a strange ending (even if you solved all other riddles before), you have 3 parties but only 1 party has all the options the other 2 a lot less (1 party gets strixes and gold but can never buy anything, the other is a bit overpowered but in a boring way).

Ash of God: Redemption Review

You might know that there aren’t enough tactical strategy games with RPG twist on the market that are worth your time. Because of several rip-offs and micro-transaction features, the genre doesn’t see several quality releases, except for a few games. Several Visual Novel and Collect Card Games were released a decade back with Tactical RPG elements, letting you battle against enemies. But, now you could say that an exciting Turn-based Tactical and Strategy game has been released that worth your time, titled Ash of Gods: Redemption. It comes with a combination of several genres, such as Adventure, Role-playing, and Strategy with Turn-based Combat and Tactical twist.

Experience an Evolving Storyline

Taking place in the fantasy-themed world, where death is lurking across the world and no one is safe from it, even the main character too. Like other strategic titles, the game is played between two opposing characters deploying their trading cards on the grid-based map to reveal their tactic and try to defeat each one. The last standing person will win the match. The storyline focuses on three playable protagonists who are rising to revenge from a menacing one considered to be mere folklore. The name of the protagonists are the following:
• Captain Thorn Brenin
• The bodyguard Lo Pheng
• The scribe Hopper Rouley
The main evil creatures of the game are reapers who returned to destroy the world once again by awaking the sleeping monsters. The story of the game continuously evolving in response to the actions the player makes while playing the game, and it causes death. But, death doesn’t mean the game over, instead, the story advances with the death of the main character and the actions taken in the past continuing to impact the upcoming events.

Blend of Turn-based Strategy & CCG (Collectible Card) Gameplay

Experience the unique mix of traditional Turn-based Tactics and CCG gameplay. There are several individual tactics available that will depend on the classes and skills of the chosen characters; however, you can unlock and accumulate cards that can unlock unique abilities and use to modify the course of the battle. The story of the game is offered using the visual novel elements with the non-linear plot. The actions of the player will determine the fate of the protagonist, as well as its end. In short, the game’s plot is built on several sequences of moral choices where the decision of each character will significantly affect the outcome and the development of the event.

Explore Terminus based on Medieval Western Europe

It takes place in the fantasy world where magic exists and the game puts the player in control of several groups of characters; each controlled by one of three protagonists. There are three main protagonists and their names are mentioned above; each one has unique skills and playstyle.

PvP Multiplayer

The introduction of PvP in the Tactical CCG game is amazing as you have an option to challenge other players and compete against them for a spot on the global leaderboards. The completion of objectives will let you unlock new playable characters, upgrades, and powerful cards that you can use to modify your tactics to become stronger.

The Verdict

The perfect peace of strategy will let you engage yourself in fun-filled gameplay, where you find lots of genres in a single pack. The grid-based map is awesome and you can easily deploy your characters to fight off enemies and destroy them. Beautiful graphics and amazing soundtracks will never disappoint.

Great soundtrack, storytelling, combat (complex because of interesting turns game strategy, so if the enemy has only 1 hero and u have 6 it wouldn't be like u take him in the circle and kill his before his turn, the enemy would take his turn after every move of your hero. But sometimes AI makes stupid moves and u can use it. Also, there is magic but at first, it's not easy to understand why they added to the game), good visuals, weak voice acting (in few scenes where developers added it.)
Interesting hero classes and their personal stories.

So yeah Ash of Gods looks quite as much as Banner Saga, but I liked much more mostly because of story and combat.

It's impossible to discuss this game without mentioning The Banner Saga, AoG resembles it in so may aspects that one could think these games have common developers (they don't), yet I won't call AoG a clone, and it certainly has enough of it's own ideas. If you liked TBS you should definitely check it out.

I made a costly mistake when I started this game: I chose the Iron man mode - in a game of decisions this mode usually makes things more intense and interesting. And here's one of the key differences of TBS and AoG: in TBS you know that you'll make it to the end one way or another, some decisions make life easier or harder, but mostly these are decisions of ethical kind; in AoG unfortunately decisions can lead you to a dead end, what is worse the most situations just don't have enough context for you to justify your decisions so you basically flip a coin every time. That's what happened to me. I've ended up with the whole squad heavily injured because of the reaping and faced the Enses in a battle that's even mathematically impossible to win. 10 hours of playing are wasted. Wish I could restart the chapter at least.
Now I'll have to start from the beginning, I really want to go through the whole game, but it will be too annoying to repeat, so I guess I'll put it off for a while.

So this is a preliminary review and a warning for others: don't start with the iron man.

Do not be fooled by this game's looks and its likeness to The Banner Saga. Ash of Gods is terrible.

Its presentation is, at first glance, fantastic. The music sets the mood splenditly, its always present - a strong soundtrack - though never distracts from gameplay and dialogue. The visuals are stunning, not least because of some extensive (self-)plagiarising from The Banner Saga (colour palette, UI elements, characters designs) and the production values in this area seem to have been 1upped since then. The animations are more fluid and character drawings feel more alive. Some quality of life improvements have also been issued.

Despite this strong foundation, my first impression was already one of disappointment: While AoG features some interesting premises and worldbuilding ideas, the writing is awfully out of place, like some college freshman cobbled this together during NaNoWriMo. Its off-putting. People fawning over one of the main characters. Inconsistent mood setting and characterizations. Stale prose. And sometimes the dialogue just jumps around corners, sentences and actions barely relating to one another, as if parts of it had been rewritten or scrapped during the editing process with no regard given to how these rewrites line up with the original context. Some of this might be due to translation issues - the game's original language is Russian; doesn't change the fact that the English version is bad.

The gameplay, then, kills any enjoyment I might have gotten out of this. Despite utilizing very similar mechanics as The Banner Saga, tactical combat is a lot more opaque, complex and difficult in all the wrong ways. You can't reliably sequence actions, enemies are often significantly stronger than you or outnumber you at least 5:1, all your powerful actions hurt you as much as the enemy and the battle cards are so weak that they feel like I'm just wasting an action. I had no issues playing through TBS, but here I hit a complete roadblock after just 4 hours. And I can't adjust difficulty mid-game. Which means that I'd have to restart the entire playthrough.

It´s a very good game. Took some bites out of the banner saga triology added some own stuff and run with it. Thr english translation is lacking sometimes, i´m sure the original version in russian is better at some points getting closer to a masterpiece. i hope there will be a sequel (there can´t be enough games of this type).

Combat system is terrible. Attack moves that also hurt your player are the norm. As you kill enemies on the board the remaining ones get stronger. You are forced to take turns in sequence with the enemy no matter how many units they have left which always sets up 1 or 2 enemy units that just run around and body your team at the end.
