YMMV / Red Ash

Go To

  • Fan Nickname: After the reveal that the game is being funded by dubious Chinese company FUZE, detractors started calling it an official Chinese knockoff of Mega Man Legends.
  • Fridge Brilliance: By itself, Red Ash is a fine name for a video game. However, when you take note that it was meant to be a spiritual successor to Mega Man Legends, which is known as Rockman DASH in Japan, suddenly the name can instead be read as Re:DASH.
  • Harsher in Hindsight:
    • A lot of fans of Mighty No. 9 were left wondering if the huge delays and poor quality of MN9 was because, partially, Red Ash was taking development time off the project. It's questionable if it will even come out at all, and Comcept itself was sold off, having failed as a independent studio.
    • For a game said to be the Mega Man Legends counterpart for its franchise, the lack of updates on the game make it look like it will be walking the same path as its spiritual older sibling.
  • Tainted by the Preview: Comcept decided that it would be a good idea to release a prototype for Red Ash as a demo for those who backed the Kickstarter. The prototype inevitably leaked and interested players tried it out... only to find that it was a single area filled with cans that could be kicked around, blocky character models note  and bizarre character physics. The belief that the prototype was quickly rushed together to attempt to drum up additional publicity ended up working against it.
  • Take That, Scrappy!: The prototype allows Beck to kick a balloon of the very unpopular Dr. Sanda.
