Whether you’re tiptoeing through a shadowy dungeon, squaring off against a massive boss, or exploring off the main pathway, Ashen has enough of its own ideas to feel additive instead of derivative.Ashen tells a standard but well-written story of a battle between light and darkness, elevated by solid voice acting.

Those, combined with charmingly minimalistic two-player co-op, elevate Ashen to more than just a Dark Souls clone. A44’s action-RPG wears its Dark Souls-inspired identity proudly, delivering nearly identical mechanics and progression systems along with a captivating open world and gorgeous art style. Like a home away from home, Ashen feels both startlingly familiar and original.
