## About Ashen

Ashen is a 2019 action RPG from A44 published by Annapurna Interactive, set in a dark fantasy open world where players guide a wanderer seeking a place to call home. The game features challenging combat built around attack-pattern-reading, stamina management, and weapon-move-set-chaining, complemented by a badge-and-relic progression system. Players navigate by mantling and climbing, and online co-op allows others to join the experience alongside a companion AI. Reviewers highlight that combat feels smooth and responsive, co-op works well with a friend, and exploration proves rewarding and varied. Players describe the atmosphere as atmospheric, chill, contemplative, and relaxing despite the difficulty. The game carries an 81 Metacritic score, is playable on Steam Deck, and costs $39.99.
