About ASHWAKE

ASHWAKE

Experience a hardcore survival game with realistic weapon mechanics, in-depth survival systems, and hostile NPCs, as well as anomalies and creatures. Featuring multiple factions, tactical weapon handling, permadeath mode, questline, and extraction systems to safeguard your gear.

LOOTING

Navigate "The Abyss" and search loot containers for gear to sell, craft, or use to better help you survive. Certain items will be required to progress, making exploration an essential part of the game, your character is a scavenger searching through a land left broken in search of any way to hold onto their survival.

ANOMALIES

The anomalies emerged when the land became unstable after the very first Ash Storm emerged. They range from manageable to outright dangerous in every way. They can give you a range from a little shock to ripping you limb from limb, best to avoid these when you see them. They do have their benefits by creating artifacts that can be sold or used to better prepare you for survival in risky situations.

LEVEL TRANSITIONS & EXTRACTS

The world is divided into multiple locations, each with its own unique purpose, requiring players to travel between areas to progress. Levels are connected by transition zones that are on a timer, forcing you to fend off enemies to survive. The extract zones work similar but go back to the base where you can store your loot, sell/buy with traders, and accept/complete tasks to level up.

PROGRESSION

In The Abyss the only way to progress is power. Complete tasks and survive raids to level up and unlock new attachments, vendors, and locations. Design your base how you want, buy furniture from vendors and place loot items freely. Create items at the crafting benches that can be placed around your base, some are powered by the generator. There is secondary progression with the available equipment that progressively gets more useful over time.

FACTIONS

Choose from a variety of factions, each with its own base, clothing, and side quests to immerse you in the universe. The factions include Bandits, The Remains, and the Plague Walkers, each offering unique gameplay. Bandits and Remains are rival scavengers fighting for survival, while the Plague Walkers are infected survivors trying to fight off full mutation.

ROADBLOCKS

Roadblocks are placed to slow progression through the world, ensuring players must reach certain levels to advance through "The Abyss." As you progress through the game, these roadblocks will be removed, allowing access to new areas, loot, and quests.

THE ABYSS

"The Abyss" is what the survivors called the zone after the "accident" happened. It’s a land left victim to those who thought they were smart enough to fight off death itself. The area is left full of anomalies, rival factions, and mutated beasts. You must survive "The Abyss" and free yourself and those you care for from the disaster that was brought upon them by humanity itself.

This game should still be being play-tested by the developer(s). It is so far from even thinking about being released, even as an early access release, that it's almost funny. It is nowhere near ready to even be released for public testing, which itself is used for bug reporting and recommendations for a more or less finished product. It's definitely heading in the right direction, but I see where at least another 1000 hrs from dev-only developing and testing could be implemented before even thinking of releasing.

Ok so a couple weeks later I am changing my review to positive, not only have big changes been made in a timely fashion making the game playable now, but the developer is extremely active in not only listening to feedback but he actually reached out to me personally via a message to clarify things I had said and let me know what he's putting into the upcoming patch and that the rest of the things I mentioned will be getting addressed soon as well. That level of involvement is rare these days, and its absolutely the kind of thing that makes the difference between an early access game sitting in limbo forever, or it turning into something awesome! Definitely give this game a try, just come with the expectation that its still a work in progress. But the dev does listen when you point out things that need to be fixed or even to suggestions

(They patched the gun issue!!) For early access i'd say its decent... .... Its kind of pve escape from tarkov, its difficult but also rewarding. I cant comment overly on it since its, again, 'early access.'

Very solid with a ton of potential, definitely worth the price point. Lots of replayability
