• Encounter other players in your travels. Join forces or not as you explore, quest, and shape your shared story.

Ashen Reviews

Ashen doesn’t try to hide the fact that it’s a Souls clone through and through. However, where many before it unwisely try to outdo FromSoftware in terms of difficulty or obtuse systems and lore, A44 has taken its game in a more refreshing, community-focused direction. This is a slightly more relaxed take on a Souls-like; it gets you into its action and gameplay rhythms quickly, isn’t interested in punishing you particularly unduly and doesn’t outstay its welcome.

Nintendo Life

Will you like it? Obviously, that depends on how much you like Soulsborne games. Even if you do, however, I’d tread carefully before committing to Ashen. It’s got some charms, but also some pretty big drawbacks, and I’m not sure the former is enough to make up for the latter.

Gaming Age

Ashen is not awful, and I think that any hardcore Souls fans who just can’t get enough of this style of combat will enjoy it. The open world adds a new layer to the Soulsborne format that succeeds more than it fails, but it comes at the cost of weakening a core pillar of the genre.
