Ash of Gods heading to Switch

Ash of Gods will be appearing on Steam later this month. Following its launch, developer AurumDust will be shifting its focus to consoles, including a Switch version.

Ash of Gods promises ​turn-based tactical RPG gameplay that features “constantly evolving storytelling with risks that truly affect gameplay, along with an extensive online PvP mode.” One of the hooks is that any of the characters in game can die. AurumDust further says that “no two playthroughs of the game will be the same.”

AurumDust is hitting Switch in late 2018. We have additional details and a trailer below.

Ash of Gods is a ​turn-based RPG featuring constantly evolving storytelling with risks that truly affect gameplay, along with an extensive online PvP mode. The game features a story based on the complexity and ambiguity of moral choice where any of the characters in game can die. Momentary benefits may cost a character a life, while sacrifice will make the walkthrough of one of following episodes easier. Ash of Gods features a mix of gorgeous art, lush music, tactical combat, and a powerful story that plays out via dialogue driven layer interaction. Depending upon a player’s decisions, no two playthroughs of the game will be the same.

Along with a constantly evolving storyline, players will be treated to a fantastic visual and aural experience, featuring stunning hand-drawn characters and environments, coupled with music from Adam Skorupa, whose previous work includes The Witcher, Bulletstorm, Painkiller, and EVE Online. Ash of Gods was recently awarded ‘Best Game’ at the Game Gathering conference in Kiev, and previously was awarded ‘Best Game’ and ‘Best Art’ at White Nights Moscow 2017, as well as ‘Excellence in Music’ and ‘Excellence in Narrative’ at DevGamm Minsk 2017.
