  • Century: Age of Ashes reviewed by Travis Northup on PC.
    Century: Age of Ashes is a really enjoyable PvP aerial combat game with some excellent game modes, unique character classes, and lots of beautiful, fierce dragons to collect and ride into battle. It could benefit from hoarding more content since its handful of maps can become stale after a dozen hours or so, and it desperately needs some balancing tweaks and more options for its ranked playlist to prevent one class from dominating, but it already has the makings of a very strong dogfighting game with enough dragons to make the Dovahkiin proud.

    For more class types this could take inspiration from how to train your dragon. If you actually take a deep dive into that series, there is a LOT of REALLY well thought out lore. And a sh*t ton of dragons.

    1. Should've been named Century of Ashes or simply Age of Ashes.
    2. Marauder has a track ability that counters the Phantom's invis ability.
    3. That poison fog is probably the strongest ability if you ask me.
