The other mode, Gates of Fire, is a mixture of a capture the flag mode and a race, with the flag-bearer attempting to complete as much of the ‘racecourse’ as possible before the other team steals the flag from them. Spoils of War sets the draconic tone by being all about hoarding gold, with each team competing to acquire more than the other. The other two each have their own unique win conditions. I was surprised when I moved out of the new players’ Rookie Mode’s 3v3 team death match and discovered that of the three main game modes the game uses for its Ranked and Unranked matches, only one is actually based around killing enemies. The actual game modes are wild and frantic. Each class brings something helpful to the team, but it is still possible to succeed without balancing your team among the three classes.

And a sneaky rouge who turns invisible and leaves explosives lying around where anyone could trip over them. A fighter with more health and aggressive attacks. The classes are probably what you expect. As of this writing there are three classes, each with their own visually unique dragons. Century: Age of Ashes uses a class system. Additionally, your chosen rider has abilities of their own. Fireballs for distant enemies, fire breath for enemies who have decided to ignore social distancing. Both of these attacks work based on their own target locking system. Your dragons have two attacks, homing fireballs and a continuous fire breath attack. Ever used a dragon to drift around a corner? No? You should. The Airbrake and Dash are all you need to pull off some incredibly skillful tricky flying. However, the controls are responsive enough that you don’t need to. There’s not quick U-turn or rolling to the sides. The dragons have very few maneuvers you can easily input. I had originally intended on trying both mouse and keyboard as well as with my USB controller, but I realized right away that the mouse-based steering for the dragon was far too good to justify using any other control scheme. The dragons you ride are large, powerful, lumbering creatures with an unexpected weight to them that makes controlling them incredibly satisfying. The central conceit of Century: Age of Ashes is, of course, dragon riders battling it out.
