   Absolutely beautiful graphics . Bit like dark souls - You cant just go slashing enemies. Fantastic atmosphere

   Las 4 reviews con 0 son lamentables y deberian ser eliminadas, uno dice que solo está en W10, lo cual es mentira, a otro le molesta el precioLas 4 reviews con 0 son lamentables y deberian ser eliminadas, uno dice que solo está en W10, lo cual es mentira, a otro le molesta el precio y que no salga en steam, nadie habla del juego, en fin haters hay en todos lados. El juego es excelente, ambientación, estructura de misiones y mazmorras, interesante el concepto de ir haciendo crecer la ciudad. 10/10… Expand

   Great Dark Souls inspired game. If you love Dark Souls and have a fast enough video card, you will most likely love this as well.

The combat feels likeThere are some really great elements to this game, but honestly the combat and movement mechanics don't really hold up. The combat feels like a more rigid version of the original Dark Souls and as a long time souls fan it feels very limiting. The difficulty seems a bit more forgiving and does do a few things differently with way points and a proper quest log to help players from getting lost.
   
   The storytelling, soundtrack and general aesthetic of the game are fantastic however this leaves me feeling very conflicted about this game, the world building is great really but the game play is mediocre leaving me feeling disappointed overall.… Expand

   I am in fact, in love with ASHEN. issue is, well... Rating this game higher than a 6 would be disingenuous and just bullcrap. I really enjoyI am in fact, in love with ASHEN. issue is, well... Rating this game higher than a 6 would be disingenuous and just bullcrap. I really enjoy the game, the voice acting and story telling, the music, background noises, sound effects, they all help and hold up as you get immersed in this world. For those of you who have not studied, looked into or played ASHEN, PLEASE understand... the combat is pretty awful. its not the worst, but that is not saying much as the games combat just isn't there and many games do it better.... This being that there are hardly any weapons to choose from and the combat itself is very clunky...
   
   8 hours into the game I can count I've found 20 weapons, 3 pieces of armor which are good, and almost all of them just being either a variety of maces or just axes. There are long maces, long axes, spears, hatchets, club... there is no variety at all. The armor that gets increasingly better as time goes on, yet look uglier and don't even match the art style. (in fact the armor I'm using currently is the insurgent armor... why is this in the game? it looks like its from china and it doesn't even fit the art style.)
   
   issue being though, the combat itself isn't all great, it pins you and an AI companion that doesn't do his or her job half the time against sometimes a dozen enemies which at times can take 6-8 heavy attack swings from an upgraded weapon to kill.
   
   Even with upgraded health and stamina along with a good pair of armor you are looking at getting hit twice then dying to characters with really unnecessarily large AOE attacks or very large reach that can be dodged, but considering you can be fighting up to 9-12 enemies, some being as large or as fast as the deadliest one you are fighting or that exact enemy, death and or losing these fights are all to often and everywhere. You will get spammed and overwhelmed at times and you cant do much but heal up which wastes money and your consumables, this all along with a broken lock on system, broken hitboxes, sometimes dying through walls and stupidly OP enemies like the Einar that spit fire...
   
   Not only that, your AI companion wont be doing much to help.
   
   Either rushing into combat and dying, making stupid decisions like running away or not reviving you, or failing to prioritize targets, you will find the AI characters being more of an annoyance than help. I've had too many times where the AI just takes off and does its own thing, had times where it fails to revive me and no threats are around, I've also had times where there are two enemy targets, one had 25% health and other is full, instead of prioritizing targets and killing the weak one, it will try to face off the healthier target... With all this, they can only be revived once, in an area before you go back to a checkpoint, meaning if they don't heal themselves, and you are in a tough fight and they get injured again,, you lose their assistance, as you are still fighting 6-12 enemies you probably will lose....
   
   Now you'd think, its just AI and just companions , well, issue is... they are integral to the story, yet they seem to not interact or do much or say much when they are with you doing there own quest, WITH YOU, mind you. You could be completing a life changing quest with them and they don't comment on it, react to it or say anything while you are WITH THEM DOING IT IN THE HEAT OF THE MOMENT, and when the quest or side mission is over, I have to go BACK to town to give them the item or news THAT THEY WERE JUST WITH ME AND WITNESSED, FOUGHT AND NEARLY DIED THROUGH... And yet, the AI and story telling acts like they weren't there, why cant I talk to them, interact with them or speak to them where we just were? it would be amazing to hear their reaction or there complaining as we just nearly died went on an adventure... (As good as the writing is) at times it doesn't even seem aware of this HUGE IMMERSION BREAKING FLAW...
   
   The companion system is straight broken, choosing a companion should be an interface or thing of its own, companions should be able to talk or interact with the world while you are with them and they should not be oblivious like I stated previously...
   
   You should be able to communicate with companions as fallout does... because this is not even remotely what "building relationships" are like, there is no building relationships... Nothing you do makes affinity or standing with any of the AI any better or worse, there are no real tough decisions, you hardly meet AI that talk or want to go to your town WHICH WAS THE POINT OF THE game TO FIND A HOME. There just isn't much making the world feel real or better than its surface level face is. On the top the game Is immersive, but once you see these flaws this game cant be taken seriously at times... if they fix this, add more to the map, fix combat, add more to combat and be GOOD DEVS, id 10 star this game so quick...
   
   I LOVE THIS GAME, AND IT HURTS TO SEE THAT THIS IS TRULY WHAT IT IS, ITS HOLLOW...… Expand

   Просто скучная игра с поломанной системой прокачки оружия, которая напрочь убила интерес.

   Если конкретнее - все оружие в игре одинаковое, и ступени прокачки очень сильно отличаются друг от друга. Уникальных механик боя нет, так зачем отвлекаться и тратить ресурсы на новую пушку, если вы с ним тупо будете нежизнеспособны, пока не прокачаете до имеющегося.… Expand
