It’s my understanding that the dev team is working on a highly-requested PvE mode to be included in a future update, which I’m very much looking forward to. These bonus items help to break up the standard gameplay loop, making Spoils of War more interesting and my personal favorite game mode to play. Spoils of War, which involves collecting as much gold as possible and returning it to your base, has extra items that spawn during the match, like a bomb to blow up the enemy team’s coffers, or a gem that grants additional points to the team holding it at the end of the match. In each of these modes, various powerups spawn throughout the maps, such as shields, extra boosting power, or health pickups. The game takes place over a number of PvP gamemodes, including classic deathmatches, a gold-hoarding mode (very appropriate thematically), and a sort of capture-the-flag match. Unfortunately, like in most modern console games, the developers don’t seem to think it’s worthwhile to make text that is easily readable on a TV from five feet away. You’re sort of introduced to the world and background conflicts, but most of the game’s lore is given through walls of text in the game’s menus. AGE OF ASHESįirst impressions upon booting up the Xbox One version of Century weren’t great, as the animated cutscene introducing us to the world stuttered all the way through (fortunately, this wasn’t a problem that persisted through the actual game). I started out playing on the Xbox One version and switched to PC at a later time, so this review will contain a bit of both platforms.

I went into this one with mixed expectations (due to the aforementioned reasons) but the gameplay looked so smooth and satisfying that I just couldn’t resist. Century is a free-to-play multiplayer dragon-riding arena battle game developed by Playwing Games.

This game was not made for me.ĭespite this, Century: Age of Ashes is one of the dragon games I was most looking forward to trying out when I kicked off this blog. I bring this up at the beginning so that my complaints about this game have context.

I just want to pay $40-$60 for a game that contains all of its content and not have to deal with grinding during limited-time seasons against other players who are just plain better than me.

I tend to bounce pretty hard off of multiplayer games, especially of the free-to-play variety. I’ll be honest, this is a difficult article to write, because I’m not the target audience for this game.
