Story + Scoreįamed fantasy author Mark Lawrence (The Broken Empire trilogy) and renowned band Foreign Fields collaborated closely with the development team at Aurora44 to craft a cohesive and unique narrative and sound. But these aren't mere adventurers - they're potential collaborators, bringing a plethora of crafting skills, from blacksmithing to foraging expertise, in tow. Crafting is KeyĪs you discover survivors, you'll have the choice to invite them to your Town. Each confrontation, no matter how trivial, has potentially dire consequences. The flora and fauna within the world aren't just fantastical they're often fatal. You'll be rewarded for studying the environment and its inhabitants, planning your adventure rather than flying by the seat of your pants. Creatures + CombatĪshen has no shortage of dangerous encounters, from hostile enemies to indigenous creatures. It's a brutal open world you're just living in it. 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. But here’s the twist - no two gameplay experiences are alike. Souls with a TwistĪshen is faithful to the 'souls' genre of stamina-based combat, introducing players to a punishing yet satisfyingly vast world. 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.

As you adventure through Ashen, you'll occasionally encounter other players in a massive open world, akin to the passive multiplayer of Journey.
