About AshenForest

AshenForest is an action roguelite focused on boss-rush. To purify the ashen forest that is causing the plague, you must fight against all the monsters lurking in the forest.

Through the hazy mist, search and eliminate those which worsens the forest! Even if you end up being swallowed by the forest, you can use the 'Salvation' score to strengthen your character and challenge the forest again at any time.

SYNOPSIS


The forest, with a giant tree, was always warm and peaceful. Until 'it' fell down from the sky. The plague started to consume its surroundings, the giant tree being the first. A lot of people died, crazed and turned into a monster...

CHARACTERS

Agave is a strong warrior who utilizes heavy attacks. The charged attack after shield parrying makes any enemy to stumble.

The Church dispatched the most dependable one person, to solve the plague. Agave the Inquisitor. He was a mercenary. He, who splattered a lot of blood with his mercenary job, was admitted by church with penitence.

He is ready to judge anything, if it is against the will of church. To heal the chaotic order of the forest, he took his way to destroy the cause of the plague.

Lycoris is a crow-fused magician who can control mind and flame. Is able to transform to a crow demon by using special ability to a knocked-down enemy.

Among the ones who lived, they needed a sacrificial lamb to take the blame for their pain. Lycoris, who was a daughter of the alchemist, was judged as a witch and was kicked out to the contaminated forest with both of her arm tied.

A staggering crow with a hurt wing flew to her, who was dying by the mist of the forest. They both understood each others' situation, so they combined their power to overcome the crisis. The Crow talked. "In this forest, you will survive and I will be the apex of this ecosystem." They took their way to the forest, to earn their own goal.

Nagne is a hunting specialist who is armed with a dagger and a gun. Enemies have no chance against his fast attack speed and ranged attacks.

Nagne, who was caught by the plague of the Ashen Forest, became a monster with a human sanity. Rejected by mankind, and a good prey for the monsters. Then, he met the old man who had the same disaster as him. Nagne learnt a lot of things like surviving in the forest and hunting, from the old man.

However, the old man didn't have enough lifespan, so he left the last word to Nagne. That there must be no more victim in this forest like Nagne and himself, who are pitiful. Nagne took a path to the Ashen Forest, to make his small hope true.

Definitely tough, but I like the way the characters play differently.

Another I didn't play, but definitely among the better games of the bundle, my brother actually enjoyed this one, and played it largely in one sitting. I think that's enough for a recommendation.

the game is pretty decently polished, its got a nice art style, and I love the soundtrack. the only real flaw it has, aside from it being pretty short, is the English localization. in some cases, it's just awkward and phrases things weirdly, other times it's genuinely hard to tell what something was supposed to even mean. one common issue is the descriptions on upgrades often confusing health and defense, which is a problem as they seem to be different attributes. in terms of gameplay, however, i'd definitely recommend. I'd really love to see an improved localization patch.

Very much a game about learning boss patterns, dodge/parry windows and timing, and tightening up your skills to face harder variations with more health and less room for error. This game is basically exactly what it looks like and exactly what it's advertised as on the tin — a pixel art 2D souls-like boss rush with tight controls and timing. There are some mechanics that seem deliberately opaque, like the number of days that pass on a run, as well as how to unlock or control certain things, but these lend the game a sense of genuine mystery and discovery that can be so rare these days. Overall, I highly recommend it if nothing I've said so far has sounded like something you wouldn't enjoy.

This is a good quality little indie title. I simple 2D boss rush that tries to be in the vain of dark souls with its dodging and blocking mechanics. While also having a little bit of that rougelike charm with random item pickups and boss layouts. It's short, it's simple, It doesn't try to be anything more than an indie game keeping to its small developing team budget. Nevertheless, it works for what it is, and has a few challenges and surprises for those into these type of games.
