We are stoked to announce that, as part of the #TurnBasedFest event, our brand new demo is now available to play! Experience what we’ve been working on over the past half a year since the last demo. Several changes have been made based on player feedback, so we’re eager to hear what you think.

[h3]Main features to try out in the demo:[/h3]

• Play through the tutorial and the first tournament of the game. Prove your worth and abilities to your king!
  
• Try out two different decks: Your trusty Berkanan deck and the ever devious Bandit deck!
  
• Three difficulty settings! The pesky difficulty bug has been fixed, so you’ll now be able to pick a difficulty level before starting the game. Normal mode is generally recommended for most players. More interested in the story than the gameplay? Story mode is for you. Want to explore every nook and cranny of the combat? Challenge yourself with Hard mode!

Hello friends!

We’re beyond excited to let you know that next week, as part of the #TurnBasedFest event here on Steam, a brand new demo will be available for you to play!

We’ve been hard at work this past half year, implementing changes and improvements based on the feedback we got on our last demo. We’ll explore these changes in-depth next week, but here’s what we’ve been working on:

[h3]A new and improved main menu has been added. We’re really happy with how it looks now![/h3]



[h3]Lots of rebalancing. We fixed a few things for classic mode and reworked both story and hard mode. The latter is still a work in progress, but we hope these changes will result in an improved player experience.[/h3]



[h3]We made numerous improvements to the story you can experience in the demo.[/h3] This includes improvements to the tutorial and story from slightly later in the game that have been moved forward to make the demo more interesting. The story and dialogue in The Way has been reworked as a whole, though you won’t see much of this in the demo.



If you’d like to discuss something with us or give feedback on the demo, join our Discord!

We also released a (new) dedicated subreddit for the Ash of Gods franchise! You’ll be able to discuss all the Ash of Gods games with others in the community, give feedback, share your thoughts & fan content and help each other out if you run into trouble. All official announcements will also be posted there! Find it here: r/Ash_of_Gods

Hello, folks!

Steam Next Fest has come to an end, and we’d like to thank you for your engagement and useful feedback left in a questionnaire at the end of the demo. We have yet to read and analyse every reply, and we’ll make a more detailed report about it later, but today we want to share the first results—your marks of our work.



As you can see, most players liked The Way. At the moment the average rating of the game is 4.44 points out of 5. It’s almost 89% of positive marks. For us it’s a very strong indicator that the huge work we made over the game wasn’t for nothing.

At the same time we have to say that the demo has a big and unpleasant bug that considerably influenced the game experience. The thing is that if there are no earlier saves, the game doesn’t offer the player to choose the level of difficulty—and a new game starts by default in the easiest Story Mode.



A lot of players marked this fact and reported that the fights are too easy and in some cases don’t demand any planning. It happened because in the Story Mode many fights don’t work like they should—it was created for those who doesn’t want to deal with strategic challenges.

We will make sure to fix this for the next demo so that you could assess the fights in the Classic and Hard modes. And for now we prolong the access to the demo for one more week, and you have an opportunity to try the game for yourselves (yes, in the Story Mode) and give us your feedback. We’ll surely read it.

If you want to become a tester of Ash of Gods: The Way and to be one of the first players who will see the fights of the new championships, join our Discord channel and—the main thing—add our game to the wishlist!

Thank you again for your feedback and support,
Aurum Dust.
