Good ideas, doesn't come together
Interesting setting, and the turn-based strategy fundamentals are there. But I walked away midway though due to a combination of 1) balance issues (the mid-game Ense enemies were routinely one- or two-shotting everyone) and 2) stability (a few frustrating CTDs). A lot of potential here, but the end result is frustrating more often than fun for me.

Disappointing
Pros: -Good music -Good voice acting -Great art. -Some really great ideas ruined by strange balancing issues and complete lack of informed choices. Cons: -You get one action per character. So does the enemy, meaning they are pretty much just as lethal throughout a battle. This sucks because your characters have long term penalties for dying in battle whereas your enemies don't -Spell cards don't really get better as you go, the more powerful cards can't be cast til later in battles, but also get terrible drawbacks making them worse. -Travel choices are meaningless if not downright misleading. The most egregious being the first one you make, which has a 1 in 3 chance of you losing about 1/3 of your precious strixes. -It's too easy to lose the whole game if you make some unlucky non-choices. My first playthrough I lost the game after about an hour due to not getting any strixes (I never rested and didn't lose any on the first choce) meaning all my characters were useless in combat and quickly died. -Combat is incredibly swingy with some enemies having massive range and damage, some even ignoring defense. -Some characters will die in the story, without any obvious way to save them, which can result in you losing the character you invested the most time into levelling up. Conclusion: Overall I'd avoid unless you're a big Banner Saga fan and are looking for a game with similar flavour and are willing to put up with Ash's shorcomings

An excellent successor to Banner Saga
This game looks very much like Banner Saga to a point that it's probably using the same game engine. With that said, in my opinion, it clearly surpassed Banner Saga in many aspects. 1. The storyline is deeply immersive. I most often play games for the gameplay, but some games catch my attention with their storylines that I don't want to skip any cutscenes or dialogs. Ash of Gods is one of such games. 2. The combat system is fairly straightforward, albeit not entirely realistic in some aspects, and, in my opinion, is much more fun than in Banner Saga. The biggest unrealistic aspect of it is that in 1v6 fights a solo fighter will have 6 turns before all of his/her opponents make just one each. However, it opens some interesting tactical options, and, in my opinion, doesn't detract from the gameplay in slightest. Some reviews mention this aspect as a downside in regards to Banner Saga, and I want to address it here. Banner Saga approach doesn't look any more realistic and looks a lot like an awkward patch for the underlying system. For example, it doesn't fix fights such as 2v6. I like Ash of Gods approach in that they embraced the existing combat system instead of trying to fix it, and it works pretty well. 3. Music and other art are awesome. 4. Ever wanted to play a badass dude who kicks ass and chews bubblegum? Well, many games introduce your main character like this, but then you proceed to get destroyed by a regular mugger. In Ash of Gods, you get to play 3 storylines, 2 of which actually give you this experience you always wanted but often didn't get. In one of them, you exclusively get into 1vX fights and get to exploit the combat system the most. There is one negative thing to mention: a couple of things in combination make the supposed "boss" fights quite easy: 1. Bosses come with minions and given the existing combat system it makes boss moves much less frequent. 2. There is a broken balance-wise card, that allows killing bosses with little effort.

Depression Slayer!
Been playing the SWITCH version and boy howdy does this game kick ass! Addictive turn based tactical combat that reminds me of one of my favourite GBA games, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance and a branching story in an interesting dark fantastical world. But perhaps the best thing about it is that while playing it during an episode of depression I was so distracted form it that it literally made it disappeared! Screw Slime Rancher this is the game doctors should be giving keys out for as an anti-depressant.

J'adore le style de jeux, mais il est vrai que entendre les discussions entre les personnages serait un plus
