Ash of Gods was a very interesting project from the beginning. Indeed, I was one of the its backers on Kickstater. I have to say that my expectation weren't deluded. The game combines an interesting combat system with a narrative part which looks based on VN. Illustrations are very good, maybe just a little bit static, while the movies are very good. I really love the style based on western and Russian animation. The combat system is maybe the most interesting part of the game, both conceptually and in the implementation. The mechanics of stryxes was in my experience the most difficult part to manage. During the game there are so many choices that immediately after the end I wished to play it back from the beginning. The plot is well structured, and the characters well developed. It is particularly good the fact that all the characters actually act without explaining everything of their world, as if the player was assumed to know. This makes some dialogue line difficult to follow at first, but it also give a unique feeling. Highly recommended for all lovers of dark fantasy and/or tactical RPGs.
