With any multiplayer game and especially free-to-play games, there is always the fear that it will be pay to win. You may be wondering if Century: Age of Ashes is pay to win. The answer to that is no, it is not pay to win.
While there are microtransactions in Century: Age of Ashes, they only allow players to purchase cosmetic items. These will change the appearance of the player's character, dragon, and heraldry. Nothing the player buys in-game will affect their ability or give them an advantage over other players. This is the official quote on the game's Steam page.
"Century: Age of Ashes is completely free-to-play. In order to keep the experience fair and equitable, in-game purchases are purely cosmetic. Battles are won by skill and teamwork alone."
This means that players will have to rely on their own skills to be successful at Century: Age of Ashes and cannot simply buy their way to victory. Not being paid to win keeps the playing field even and reward players for their time in the game.
