Ashen Review

By Rishi Alwani (Dec 22, 2018)

Good
Looks great
Interesting boss design
AI allies are a welcome addition

Bad
Can't change ally equipment
Only three weapon varieties

Announced in 2014, Ashen for Xbox One and Windows PC is an action role-playing game developed by New Zealand-based indie studio A44 Games. And like a fair few indie games this year, it's a souls-like, which is sub-genre of titles inspired by Dark Souls. There's a loosely-told story, a sprawling world to explore, and of course tough combat. Be it Scoria, the currency you earn from fallen foes or its control scheme that mimics the From Software classic, Ashen wears its inspiration on its sleeve. If this was all the game did, it wouldn't be as enjoyable as it is. Rather, Ashen's interpretation of the Dark Souls formula might just be the best one yet.
