    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.

    That doesn’t mean that combat is awful and Ash of Gods isn’t worth playing – but you’ll definitely need to adapt to its rules. Or simply switch to the story mode that lets you plow right through the fights and focus on the story. It’s worth it: there’s a novel-sized interactive story here with loads of characters, unexpected turns and seven different endings to top it off. [Issue#228, p.46]

    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.

    Ash of Gods is obviously a huge nod to The Banner Saga, but does its own thing enough to hold its own; it just doesn’t carry itself with the confidence that could push it towards greatness.

    While still in the shadow of The Banner Saga, Ash of Gods offers an interesting experience that will appeal to all chatty turn based RPG fans.

    Ash of Gods, despite similar visual style, is unlike The Banner Saga. It’s a completely different game, with its own mood, ideas, features… and, unfortunately, level of quality.

    I definitely want more tactical adventures enriched with epic storytelling like Banner Saga. But definitely not like this brash copy, that shows almost no individuality.

    Most of the people who gave negative reviews are from people who complain about similiarity with Banner Saga. The art style looks similar, butMost of the people who gave negative reviews are from people who complain about similiarity with Banner Saga. The art style looks similar, but is it really bad? Game gives you decent story, really good characters, unique setting. I've enjoided playing AoG so much. There are cons, but they aren't really important for me (like small fonts or sequence of turns in the battle mode). If you like BS - 90% you will like AoG. Looking forward for the next game from these guys.… Expand

    Really good game, great story, impossible to stop following it. Gorgeous presentation. The game for me works much better as a visual novelReally good game, great story, impossible to stop following it. Gorgeous presentation. The game for me works much better as a visual novel rather than a turn-based RPG. I will go back to combat after I finish the first play through.

    Initially I thought it was a Banner Saga clone and missed this game Kickstarter. But then | got to play it during a video game conference and fell in love with it. I know the art looks a bit like Banner Saga and combat also seems similar, yet the game has a lot of innovations to stand on its own.

    And wonderful story. Oh, did I say it again? Well, it's worth repeating!    … Expand

    This game is a masterpiece.

    I don't regret any minute I had been playing it. The story, the world, the relations between the characters and countries - it's all very good. Yes, somebody may say: "Oh, we've seen it in another angle in Mass Effect. Oh, it's Banner Saga clone". No. This project drags you into semi Medieval time, dimension, time travel, intrigues of gods and demigods. And to be honest I didn't feel so into the game of this kind of setting since the Witcher.    … Expand

    the best character development ive seen in a game for a long time (Lo Pheng) but there are too many of them )

    my biggest problem is with    the best character development ive seen in a game for a long time (Lo Pheng) but there are too many of them )

    my biggest problem is with the games phylosophy. it promotes selfsacrifice. thats not a sane thing to do. selfsacrifice should be a rational choice done in a specific context, not promoted blindly.
    unfortunately my lo pheng is the victim of this error, as he gets killed off just for not selfsacrificing for a random chick.

    story is cool, although i would rather not have a fantasy setting. and the scripting IS FINALLY GOOD. so many games **** this up and provide random redundant hurdles. this one doesnt.

    the combat is fine, altough u mostly end up playing with 1 character against everyone else    … Expand

    I was hesitant at first because it really just looks like a total rip off of The Banner Saga, but it honestly holds its own just fine.

    The plot is very interesting with many choices and a non linear path to take with multiple different endings. All of the interweaving storylines mesh well with each other and the characters all feel very fleshed out and unique. The music and art are both stellar and the combat system is interesting and fun.

    I’ve played a few times now, making different choices along the way and it definitely has a lot of replay value.    … Expand
