Century: Age of Ashes is a multiplayer action game inspired by popular hero shooters. The game, which takes us on a journey to a war-torn fantasy world, was developed by an independent Playwing studio and is distributed in a free-to-play model.

Mechanics

In Century: Age of Ashes we observe the action from a third person perspective (TPP). The players ride the wyverns here (although these reptiles have not four but two legs, the authors mistakenly call them dragons) and take part in spectacular skirmishes. The developers give to us a wide range of winged creatures, such as Windguard, who protects allies and confuses enemies, Marauder who specializes in the elimination of targets and Phantom who can sets traps and act in hiding. As we make progress, we gain experience points, which we exchange for modifications for our wyverns and their riders; these extras can also be purchased for real money. The battles are dynamic, and during them it is important to show dexterity and reflexes as well as to choose the right profession and tactics.

Impulsegamer: 4 / 5 by Kevin Mwenda

Century: Age of Ashes looks stunning. The dragons, their skins, the eggs, and the maps are well modeled. The maps specifically are large and have tons of room and areas to explore, areas which can be used to one's advantage in the game. The game's weekly challenges are not averagely hard to complete. Spoils of War offers the most replayability in the game since it involves teamwork and having a working strategy to win the game. Despite this, the game suffers from poor matchmaking where people as high as level fifty are seen in the same matches as people below level ten. For instance, I've been matched with three level 50 in Gates of Fire, and it was the fastest and most frustrating game I ever played. This problem is seen in all game modes and could use some adjusting. The other thing is not a problem, but the game has a high skill gap where I had to rely on various YouTube channels that helped me improve on my movement, and tracking in-game. It takes a lot of practice, where it is common to see level 20 to 30 players with more losses than wins.

Thumb Culture: 4 / 5 by Jason Patrick

For a free-to-play game, Century: Age of Ashes is actually really fun and quite innovative really. It could be likened perhaps to Star Wars: Squadrons in its dogfight style however this is fire-breathing dragons battling it out across a variety of beautifully drawn arenas!

Digital Chumps: 7.5 / 10 by Nathaniel Stevens

Century: Age of Ashes from Playwing is a good free-to-play game. It is gorgeous, easy to pick up and go, and has some competitive charm to it. The microtransactions and the thin amount of variety in the game might detour some from extending their time with dragon battling, but I think it’s certainly worth a look.
