About Ashen
Ashen is an open world co-op action RPG about a wanderer in search of a place to call home.
Passive Co-Op Multiplayer
As you adventure through Ashen, you'll occasionally encounter other players in a massive open world, akin to the passive multiplayer of Journey. It's up to you to decide how to deal with them - fight together against evil, invite them into your party or simply ignore them.
Souls with a Twist
Ashen is faithful to the "souls" genre of stamina-based combat, introducing players to a punishing yet satisfyingly vast world. But here’s the twist - no two gameplay experiences are alike. Whether you’re exploring bogs, investigating a fjord or pillaging an old palace, where you are at any given moment will dramatically alter the course of your adventure. It's a brutal open world; you're just living in it.
Creatures + Combat
Ashen has no shortage of dangerous encounters, from hostile enemies to indigenous creatures. You'll be rewarded for studying the environment and its inhabitants, planning your adventure rather than flying by the seat of your pants. The flora and fauna within the world aren't just fantastical; they're often fatal. Each confrontation, no matter how trivial, has potentially dire consequences.
Crafting is Key
As you discover survivors, you'll have the choice to invite them to your Town. But these aren't mere adventurers - they're potential collaborators, bringing a plethora of crafting skills, from blacksmithing to foraging expertise, in tow.
Story + Score
Famed fantasy author Mark Lawrence (The Broken Empire trilogy) and renowned band Foreign Fields collaborated closely with the development team at A44 to craft a cohesive and unique narrative and sound.

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME! It keeps crashing after startup. I'll change my review if this ever gets fixed.7 found this helpful
Сюжет куда ни шло, большего и не ожидаешь от такой игры, однако боевка - что-то с чем-то. Собрать те же механики, что и во всех souls-like в такой кусок говна это надо постараться или просто ♥♥♥♥♥ не понимать в том, как настраивать урон, ренж атак, их распространение, в целом расставлять нпс по уровням. Последний босс это вообще ♥♥♥♥♥♥. Удачи всем сюда входящим.1 found this helpful
Look at the discussion page for this game to get the fix for the startup crash, happily playing now.1 found this helpful
It's a co-op souls-like at heart. I've read that multiplayer only works on Epic Games, but better look for yourselves. It's playable solo aswell. You just get a wonky bot. They can be OP, but also 1-shots, because they have some lemming tendencies, like drowning themselves. Enjoyable game, but... It's a copy-paste fiesta. If you've seen the enemies of the starting zone, you've, in essence, seen the whole game. Heavy asset reuse and attack pattern reuse. They've been creative with it, so the zones are pretty distinct, but that's it. In addition, to stretch the game, they rely on really long walks between save points, especially when you're close to the end. Balance for the final bosses is kind of tough, but manageable. The DLC is fine, but really aggregious with the very long walk between boss tries. You basically have to run through a whole dungeon to get to the boss again. This game features a lot of verticality and climbing, but the climbing is kind of wonky. This game is also very dark. It's a feature of this game to be in dark rooms and only being able to see a small distance with your lantern. I've set the gamma as expected by the developers, but I think even cranking up the …1 found this helpful
