What game is this about? AsHes is a horror survival game from the indie studio Yanmo Games. The game started Early Access on Steam on June 24, 2024. During this phase, the game is expected to remain available on the platform.
The open world of AsHes is inspired by Chinese folklore. You embark on an adventure in the underworld either alone or in co-op mode, discover secrets, and face terrifying enemies.
What can you expect? AsHes is currently still in Early Access on Steam, so some changes to the graphics and gameplay may occur before the full release. However, the developers already promise that the core gameplay is solid and can be played well in the current version.
The trailer gives you a first look at the various aspects that you can expect in AsHes. Among other things, you can expect typical survival mechanics, such as exploring the open world, collecting resources, and building a base. You can also build this together in multiplayer mode.
Some core elements of AsHes are:
- Immersive Exploration: In the open world, you explore eerie landscapes, encounter various ghosts, and experience their stories.
- Survival Adventure: The dangers in AsHes lurk around every corner. You need to search for food, build shelters, and craft weapons to survive.
- Dungeons: You will encounter various ghosts. Some you must fight, while others you should avoid. To increase your chances of survival, you can play with other players.
- Storyline: Exciting storylines are promised, revolving around the ghosts of this world. You should be able to experience 26 story chapters during Early Access.
- Multiplayer: You can play AsHes in online multiplayer mode or face challenges in local co-op mode.
Dark forests, creepy houses, and flying dragons
The trailer mainly shows that the world and the ghosts in AsHes seem to be truly diverse. You explore dark forests as well as creepy houses with hundreds of rooms. In a brief scene, you can even see how you drive through the world in first-person perspective in a car.
In doing so, you will encounter not only simple bodiless ghosts but also doll-like figures, giant apes, undead, and even flying dragons. In combat, you can confront them both at range and in close combat. Similar bizarre creatures await you starting July 9, 2024, in another game on Steam: In the survival game Once Human, you fight against monsters and hunger – but giant cats and plush dinosaurs are by your side.
