    In Ashen you face a daunting, sunless world as you struggle to find a place to call home. In this fantasy co-op action RPG set in a world with low magic, you are an adventurer wandering a massive and shadowy open world, encountering monsters and yes, other players too. 

    Explore a vast Souls-like environment where you must rely on your stamina to survive countless conflicts. Enter fetid swamps, icy fjords, and forbidding ruins to find treasure and resources. Encounter enemies that you have to study well in order to beat; if you’re careless, every fight can be fatal.

    As you explore the land, you may meet survivors that you can bring back to your Town. These people can be an invaluable asset, bringing with them crafting skills that can help your settlement to grow. And you’ll also meet other players traveling in the wilds. You can invite them to join your party, ignore them, or in the worst case, fight them. In the dark and merciless world of Ashen, decisions are almost always life or death.
