About Ashen Knights: Foreshadow
In the world devoured by the Abyss, humans either fight or die. A long time ago, Ashen Knights chose their path: to serve humanity and protect themselves and their loved ones. But every choice is followed by its consequences.

Ashen Knights is a unique mixture of two complementary gameplays. Tired of managing your stamina and scrupulously calculating your attacks? The game will grant you an opportunity to destroy foes in dozens with a single sweep of your weapon. Bored without a decent challenge? Try slaying an enemy ten times stronger than you are.


In Ashen Knights, the gameplay is but a way to share and express emotions. Playing as different characters, you'll feel how your battle drive gets replaced with crippling anxiety that slowly transforms into blinding rage.


All of your emotions, every sound, every note, and every detail are a hidden message from the game world. And just as the world of Ashen Knights is a myriad of remote isles shattered by the Abyss, its narrative is a grim and mysterious puzzle made of numerous manifestations. Will you be able to piece it back together?


Every single phenomenon in the game—from the quietest of sounds to the biggest of bosses—is just a cover hiding the story of this world. So, what is the nature of the Abyss? What does it have to do with our heroes? And how does it bring them together?


The Abyss is not going to reveal its secrets for nothing. For every answer, one has to pay with numerous battles against its spawn: multiform mutants, insidious mimics, and mighty bosses.


The Abyss is not going to reveal all its secrets right away. On every level, it will expose itself in a new, previously unknown way. It will keep getting you back to the very beginning of the location. It will throw immortal enemies at you. It will stab you in the back with no chance to defend yourself. But no matter how dissimilar the distant corners of this world seem, they are all united by the narrative of collapse and the atmosphere of dark fantasy.

Nice one, been expecting it since the demo4 found this helpful
Abandoned in Early Access/Dead game. The 15 minutes I played were bug-filled and terrible. Avoid.2 found this helpful
I am going to recommend the game for two reasons. One, it is Early Access and shows promise game play wise. And two, because I doubled my dose of Gaba today. It is your basic cookie cutter Souls-like combat, all good stuff. The problem for me is mainly the aesthetic and the genericness of the combat mechanics. The aesthetic is just so bland... I hope they spruce up the textures or add some more sprites and effects to make it more interesting. Maybe some shadows...or just make it dark... If it looked better, I could overlook the genericness of the game play... The formula is generic for a reason. It works. Its cheap, buy it, support the dev, encourage the genre, all that. Be gay, be atheist, be what ever, Just don't vote for Biden. Humanity is counting on you.2 found this helpful
