Ash of Gods (tuxdb.com)

Hey, folks! Its been awhile. As you may know we were busy with console versions of Redemption and a mobile CCG project in Ash of Gods universe but now it is time to move further and to make another announcement. Ash of Gods: Redemption was released about 2 years ago but we didnt have the time to finish its multiplayer. A great deal of players were upset about it because they craved to play with friends and fight each other. So we never gave up the idea to make things right one day. And now we're gonna make it. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1295480/Ash_of_Gods_Arena/ We are going to release Ash of Gods: Arena, an online game based on Redemptions multiplayer, as a Steam Early Access title to improve it over time with your feedback. So, what can you expect and how it will be different from the original?
There are few reasons behind our decision to make a stand alone title. Since the release of Redemption we received a lot of feedback about the combat, and reviews were mixed. So weve decided to change core gameplay, to make it less random, more rewarding, with a great deal of tactical options for a player. But since Redemptions multiplayer is binded with single-player mode, it is hard to change anything without breaking the whole game. Another reason to do that is to significantly increase the number of players to let them play against each other, instead of fighting AI. Thats why weve decided to release Arena as a free-to-play title. It will allow us to attract more fans of turn-based combats without having them pay for the original game.
As I mentioned before, the game will be released as a Steam Early Access title. This way we can test changes and add new features based on your feedback. On the release it will be a fully functional multiplayer from Redemption with improved drop and stability, and we are going to constantly release new changes over time. What are we going to change? Weve carefully considered your feedback and have set our priorities so far towards a few important things. THE PRIORITY SYSTEM No more priority for small teams and no asynchronous rounds. At the moment players do not get a lot of benefits for killing an enemy character. On the other hand, the smaller team gets an advantage. We will change this.
NEW RULES FOR THE DECK Cards should be used as an additional measure, not to take the whole turn. At the moment you can significantly impact the fight and completely change the course of an entire battle with your deck but the most powerful cards are available only in late rounds while the others are too weak to waste your turn on them. NEW AND REWORKED MECHANICS We are not satisfied with some of the existing mechanics. For example, stun can be really disappointing at the end of the round, special abilities shouldnt require health unless it is appropriatefor berserk class, for example. On the other hand, we want to add more possibilities to impact the fight.
Of course, we are going to make even more changes over time. We intend to improve overall combats dynamic, add new combat modes, improve clans and UI, balance and loot. And we crave to hear your opinions about it. Weve managed to build a small but dedicated community with Redemptions multiplayer and would be very grateful for your feedback and ideas. So, join us in Ash of Gods: Arena discussions and Discord channel to share your thoughts, wishlist the game and follow us on Steam to stay tuned. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1295480/Ash_of_Gods_Arena/

Ash of Gods: Redemption is a turn-based RPG that combines tactical combat, CCG elements, and a constantly evolving story in which no one is safe from death, including the main characters.

GAMEPLAY

Ash of Gods is the story of three separate protagonists rising in response to a centuries-old menace once thought to be mere folklore.

Ash of Gods’ storyline is constantly evolving in response to players’ choices, sometimes even resulting in death. But, the death of a character is not game over. Instead, the story moves forward with the death of that character and previous choices continuing to impact future events.

Combat in Ash of Gods is a blend of both traditional turn-based strategy and CCG gameplay. While individual tactics will depend upon the skills and classes of your characters, you will unlock and accumulate cards that have the power to unleash powerful abilities, sometimes altering the course of an entire battle.

WHAT MAKES ASH OF GODS UNIQUE

Decisions with Major Impacts

Every decision, whether on or off the battlefield, has the capacity to alter the course of events and the fate of your party with major repercussions. But, even the death of your leader is not the end of your journey.

No Random Dice Rolls

There are no dice throws to determine chance-to-hit or the force of a blow. In Ash of Gods, true tacticians must master the skills of their classes and harness the powers granted by their limited supplies of cards, or suffer the consequences.

AI that Adapts to You

Ash of Gods’ AI adapts to your style of play to ensure a consistently challenging experience with no room for cheap tactics or invincible team builds.

PvE and PvP Multiplayer

Work with a friend to battle the AI in PvE challenges, or challenge other players and compete for a spot on the leaderboards. Unlock new characters, upgrades, and cards to customize your tactics even further.

Rewards for Risk

Expend your own HP for a last-ditch attack. Go into battle with a smaller team to get better cards and quicker rounds. Take the shorter, but more dangerous route to save on resources. Ash of Gods rewards those willing to take the risks.

THE STORY

After 700 years, peace in Terminum is about to end. The Feast of the Spring Equinox is in full swing when the town bell begins to ring. Captain Thorn Brenin, the bodyguard Lo Pheng, the scribe Hopper Rouley, and many others, do not yet know that the reapers have returned and intend to drown the world in blood so that they may awaken the sleeping gods.

Written by the award-winning fantasy author, Sergey Malitsky, Ash of Gods is a story-rich game full of memorable characters, powerful dialogue, and deep lore. Malitsky is currently working on a new novel stemming from the events of Ash of Gods.

THE ARTWORK

Inspired by the works of Ralph Bakshi (The Lord of the Rings), classical Disney animation, and the prolific Soviet studio, Soyuzmultfilm (The Snow Queen), Ash of Gods features intricately hand-drawn illustration and animation. Rotoscoping, a technique in which a scene is first filmed with a live actor to use as reference, instills every frame of animation with incredible detail and a true sense of life.

THE MUSIC

The original soundtrack is a collaboration of Adam Skorupa, Krzysztof Wierzynkiewicz, and Michal Cielecki, whose previous work includes The Witcher, Bulletstorm, Painkiller, EVE Online, Call of Juarez, and Shadow Warrior. Every track was recorded live by professional musicians, often using traditional instruments rarely encountered in contemporary recordings.
