Critic Reviews for Ash of Gods: Redemption
Ash of Gods swings back and forth between being immensely enjoyable and feeling like it could be doing things so much better — and it knows it.
Taking clear inspiration from The Banner Saga, Ash of Gods just about does enough to stands on its own merits, and delivers an engaging tactical adventure held back by a few minor faults
A good game if you like the narrative style of The Banner Saga but also a challenge in terms of combat. It doesn't offer a very intense experience but does work for RPG fans and also has a multiplayer mode.

Ash of Gods is heavily inspired by The Banner Saga, but sadly lacks the same charm and the rich narrative that characterized Stoic's game.

All conspire to create a game that, while ultimately enjoyable, cannot survive comparisons to the series it so desperately wishes to be.
If you're going to clone a unique, yet flawed game like The Banner Saga, it's crucial that you significantly improve the experience in some way. Ash of Gods: Redemption doesn't, replicating its inspiration's problems, but not its singular vision. Ironically, folks who have never played The Banner Saga will get the most out of this glorified fangame – those who have will likely find Ash of Gods a gray, lifeless imitation.
As an RPG, writing is crucial. Ash of Gods just doesn't have it.
