Ash of Gods: Redemption - A Flurry of Patches

AurumDust’s narrative RPG Ash of Gods: Redemption was released on March 23rd and since then it has already received a total of six patches. You can find their detailed descriptions on Steam – patch 1.0.16, patch 1.0.25, patch 1.0.27, patch 1.0.31, patch 1.0.34, patch 1.0.37. If you prefer a quick summary instead, the patches slightly lower the game’s difficulty, adjust the game’s balance, fix some of the plentiful text issues, add the v-sync option, and fix a number of bugs.

Now, usually when newly released games get patched at such a machine-gun pace, their overall state leaves a lot to be desired. However, having played Ash of Gods around its release, I was pleasantly surprised by the game’s level of polish and only noticed a couple of minor visual glitches and some awkward bits of text. Of course, this is purely anecdotal and your mileage may vary.

Here are the patch notes for one of the bigger patches:
