Ash of Gods: Redemption Reviews
Ash of Gods visually looks like Banner Saga, but gameplay is slightly different and story is not so deep.

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.
Ash of Gods: Redemption offers a nice visual style, an interesting story in the style of "Game of Thrones", as well as tactical battles with card mechanics and great music. All this should appeal to fans of dark fantasy and tactical games. Bad controls spoils the experience, but if you love the Banner Saga and wanted something similar, then Ash of Gods should please you.

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
Ash of Gods Redemption is a decent game for fans of strategy turn based games, but it also feels like a wasted opportunity.

As an RPG, writing is crucial. Ash of Gods just doesn't have it.
Gamers who enjoy a good fantasy story and a well-constructed world will find a lot to enjoy in Ash of Gods: Redemption. Likewise, fans of tactical, turn-based squad combat. Whether that’s sufficient motivation to overcome poor documentation and meandering plots is another question.
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.
Ash of Gods: Redemption is a game to take into consideration within its genre, and it has tried to be ambitious in its presentation, history, and staging, although perhaps for this reason it has neglected some factors such as greater playable balance, controls more intuitive, and in our particular case, a better translation. Anyway, any fan of the genre, and especially if you have already enjoyed The Banner Saga, which our game takes a lot from, we have to give it a try.

Other than my own personal tastes I can't fault this game for much. It's gorgeous and I'd like to see more from this team and this franchise.
Ash of Gods is an ambitious game of massive proportions. Beautiful artwork, smooth animations, and a stunning soundtrack set the tone for this melancholy tale. The setting and lore can be overwhelming, especially during the first playthrough, but it's sure to capture fans of epic fantasy seeking to lose themselves in a huge world full of secrets, curses, and curious characters.
Almost every aspect of Ash of Gods: Redemption is fantastic. Pure hand-painted graphics is remarkable, and tons of texts and interesting dialogues present a vivid view of a world of war. Ash of Gods would be your best choice if you were a RPG fan who is keen on reading.

Ash of Gods: Redeption is a big promise. This visual novel with RPG combat is a game for remember. Due to, principaly, its soundtrack and artistic style. The music is a delicate work that transports you to a medieval era and the drawing is raw tracing of the horror that lives in game.

That’s not to insinuate that my experience with Ash of Gods was anything resembling good, though, because this game is capable of disappointing entirely on its own merits. Everything about it fails in one way or another, from the confused analogies that read like a drunk Tolkien as performed by Google Translate to the combat alternating between being pointlessly easy and groan-inducingly tedious. The visuals and music are the only things that don’t disappoint in some way, but they alone can’t support this game’s full weight.
Ash of Gods: Redemption is an amazing game. The dark and gritty fantasy theme and it's disheartening story is actually refreshing and breaks the mold for turn-based RPGs. It's a game I never knew I needed to play in 2018.
