Review

Of Ash and Steel presents an intriguing world filled with promise, yet it falls short due to significant technical shortcomings and design flaws. As an ode to early 2000s RPGs, its immersive landscapes and diverse content are commendable, but the experience is marred by bugs and a lack of polish. The gameplay promises challenge and freedom, but inconsistency in execution hampers player engagement. For players with a high tolerance for jank, there may be a hidden gem here, but many may find the overall experience frustrating.

Reviews range widely; DualShockers noted its 'fascinating world' and robust content, while COGconnected suggested that it requires patience for players to enjoy its intriguing aspects. Conversely, Checkpoint Gaming expressed severe disappointment, labeling it barely functional, indicating a polarized reception overall.
