That in itself is fine, having these life or death situations adds a sense of urgency to the conversations you’ll have. So, outside of combat (and we’ll get to that mess shortly), you will spend most of your time conversing with other characters in your party and with NPCs, and what you’ll learn rather early on in Ash of Gods is that there will be times where your choices in your responses will have potentially dire consequences. The main issue with the story as you get further through it is that all the characters, the ones you control and the ones you’ll talk with, know all about the Reapers and their antics, but nothing has been done to, you know, prepare for the damn thing!Īsh of Gods is a game very much like The Banner Saga, so there isn’t exploration in the sense that many of you may be familiar with if you haven’t played a title like this before. That’s fine, a lot of fantasy plots have unimaginative names for events or evil characters such as this, so that isn’t so much the issue. Set in the high fantasy world of Terminus, you will control three main protagonists who all have a separate story involving the “Reaping”, which is an apocalyptic event that is brought on by the return of some evil dudes called…Reapers. The story, at first (which is a reoccurring theme in Ash of Gods) is interesting and grips you right from the start. Why is this? Well, let’s dive straight in. Ash of Gods: Redemption, I am afraid, is very much this kind of game: a game that isn’t so bad you wont finish it but also not something you will be shouting about to your friends any time soon. And then the worst feeling off all time hits you, hard…and it’s that what you are playing isn’t actually as good as you thought it would be. You load the game, work your way through the tutorial, all the time thinking how good this is and how you are really going to sink your teeth into this one. Because this is modern gaming, you can’t just play the game straightaway, are you mad!? So, you leave the game to install/update, and you find something else to kill time. You sit down, stick in the new game you’ve been excited to play ever since you first saw the trailer (FYI, for me it was two days before the game arrived).
