About
Join humanity’s last stand as Gods and guns collide in an all-new action RPG open-world adventure.

The Door to the Afterlife has been opened, allowing the old God’s army of the undead to escape from within. The living are on the brink of extinction. It’s time for the coalition army to retake their world. Embrace vengeance, gunpowder and magic and embark on an epic journey to lead mankind’s final siege against the tide of the dead.

Your battle begins now.

• Make Your Mark on a Vast Battlefield – Explore a dangerous open world. Fly through the desert sands, journey through cavernous ruins, and unveil the secrets that lie in the towering City of Dawn.

As with any new action IP from a relatively untested team, the true test is going to be getting your hands on it and seeing how it feels. I'm looking forward to trying it. Glad its on GP. Hope its good.

I havent tried Ashen. New Zealand dev team.

it used to be an interesting deviation from the norm to see a game with a female or racially diverse protagonist, now that has become a tired cliche. You’ll be more likely to see white males as the protagonist in Japanese games than in western games these days.

I'm gonna make a semi-safe bet that this game will have a character creator.

Don’t think so, that female protagonist is in every screenshot of the game.

BTW if Gamepass is supposed to be the Netflix of gaming, then this is a perfect game for it.

I have a feeling this is going to be one of the best surprises for next year. Kepler has a solid portfolio at this moment.
