Things go a step further though, by then giving new players access to a special 3v3 deathmatch game mode. There’s also a bunch of different pickups and environmental bits you need to master too. That being said, it does do a good job of teaching you how to play, and as there aren’t many games like this around, it’s absolutely essential for new players because you’ll need to learn how to fly, shoot fireballs, breathe a flamethrower, and use your two special skills. While the controls in the game are complex, I think it goes on a little longer than is needed and spends a touch too long on some of the simpler mechanics. Naturally, Century: Age Of Ashes kicks off with a tutorial.

There’s no need for anything beyond that really, and it’s almost refreshing to play a game that’s so straightforward with its aims. As a dragon arena battler, the only thing it can offer you, and presumably the only thing you could want from it, is the opportunity to fly around on dragons and beat the fire out of other people hoping to do the same.

Century: Age Of Ashes knows what it’s about, and it knows what you’re here for.
