If you’re interested in customizing your character and unlocking some awesome-looking dragons, your dollar goes quite a long way, as even the $5 starter pack gives you 800 “gems,” which is more than you need to unlock some truly badass stuff. Microtransaction ReactionĬentury: Age of Ashes is a free-to-play game that offers microtransactions to unlock cosmetics and XP boosters that help with level progression. There’s just no counter for that, and it means that Phantoms are so good at this that you won’t see too much of the other two classes until there’s a nerf to balance the (dragon)scales. I can’t count the number of times I was hot on someone’s tail as they fled with their gold, only for them to vanish and sneak away to their base. It’s just really hard to beat invisibility, especially in the sole ranked objective mode that has you collecting gold coins to store in your vault for points.

In my time with Age of Ashes, most lobbies were filled with ~60% Phantoms – sometimes even higher – especially in the Ranked playlist. He’s a well-rounded character and a great option if you need a break from strategy and just want to beat the enemy into submission with brute force.įinally there’s the Phantom, the stealth-ambush class that has the annoyingly good abilities to become invisible, deal extra damage when striking as a surprise attack, and set traps in the form of explosive mines.

The Marauder, meanwhile, is your standard murder-focused class that’s all about dealing damage and can enter a rage that lets him rain a ton of fireballs on enemies in a matter of seconds (one of those abilities that makes healing irrelevant).
