Ash II Shadows
SCORE: 73
No one here at Family Friendly Gaming had
heard of Ash before. After playing Ash II Shadows a couple of us plan on
rectifying that. This role playing game continues where the last one
left off. A group of characters is chasing down their Magistrate. They
learn secrets of the past, as well as more about the evil magic
corruption.
Ash II Shadows is a turn based role playing game where the player gets
to use a variety of commands on the enemy creatures. Many of these
things look hideous. They are definitely monsters, and corrupted beings.
The bar at the top of the screen shows who gets the next turn. Players
select a command and then an enemy to perform it on. Or just select the
enemy for an attack.
Ash II Shadows is broken up into six chapters. Currently only chapter
one is available. When you purchase this app there is a choice - gold or
silver. Gold gets you all six chapters, whereas silver only provides the
first two. It is unknown what the chapters will cost after this. Chapter
one of Ash II Shadows can be beaten easily in under four hours.
The journal system in Ash II Shadows will ensure players do not get
stuck. Not sure where to go next? Bring up the journal for instructions
as well as a map. On the map the next location is highlighted. Ash II
Shadows is approachable by all experience sets. Characters heal after
every single battle. No need to keep up with all those items. There are
armors and weapons that the player can use to strengthen their
characters.
Ash II Shadows is the easiest role playing game this reviewer has ever
played. It only took a couple of characters in the first turn to defeat
the end boss. This was with no grinding in the chapter whatsoever. Every
enemy on every map was fought, but that was just being thorough. Map
level screens (where players walk from town to dungeon, and town) do not
contain any enemies. This is one of the ways Ash II Shadows keeps the
pace fast.
The downside to Ash II Shadows is there is some bad language, certain
tribal female characters could be less exposed, and there are buddah
statues. An interesting aspect to Ash II Shadows is characters from your
landing party tell you to: "Go with God." The story is interesting, and
involving. Ash II Shadows will reveal itself in layers like an onion.
