It’s up to you to decide how to deal with them – fight together against evil, invite them into your party or simply ignore them. ## [](#souls-with-a-twist)Souls with a Twist Ashen is faithful to the “souls” genre of stamina-based combat, introducing players to a punishing yet satisfyingly vast world. But here’s the twist – no two gameplay experiences are alike. Whether you’re exploring bogs, investigating a fjord or pillaging an old palace, where you are at any given moment will dramatically alter the course of your adventure. It’s a brutal open world; you’re just living in it. ## [](#creatures-combat)Creatures + Combat Ashen has no shortage of dangerous encounters, from hostile enemies to indigenous creatures. You’ll be rewarded for studying the environment and its inhabitants, planning your adventure rather than flying by the seat of your pants. The flora and fauna within the world aren’t just fantastical; they’re often fatal. Each confrontation, no matter how trivial, has potentially dire consequences. ## [](#crafting-is-key)Crafting is Key As you discover survivors, you’ll have the choice to invite them to your Town. But these aren’t mere adventurers – they’re potential collaborators, bringing a plethora of crafting skills, from blacksmithing to foraging expertise, in tow. ## [](#story-score)Story + Score Famed fantasy author Mark Lawrence (The Broken Empire trilogy) and renowned band Foreign Fields collaborated closely with the development team at Aurora44 to craft a cohesive and unique narrative and sound. ### Release info - Ashen Release date 2019-12-19 00:00:00 Publisher Annapurna Interactive Demo available DLC available Max players 2 Age rating 12 NS Online support Game code HACPAUDSA Cloud Saves support Voice Chat support HD Rumble support Languages japanese, english, spanish, french, german, italian, portuguese, russian, korean, chinese Genres action, adventure, rpg ### Nintendo eShop - Ashen [EUR 35.99](https://ec.nintendo.com/NL/nl/titles/70010000019939/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [EUR 35.99](https://ec.nintendo.com/BE/nl/titles/70010000019939/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [EUR 35.99](https://ec.nintendo.com/DE/de/titles/70010000019939/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [EUR 35.99](https://ec.nintendo.com/FR/fr/titles/70010000019939/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [GBP 31.99](https://ec.nintendo.com/GB/en/titles/70010000019939/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [USD 39.99](https://www.nintendo.com/US/store/products/ashen-switch/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) ¥17.00 [CAD 49.99](https://www.nintendo.com/en-ca/store/products/ashen-switch/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [EUR 35.99](https://ec.nintendo.com/IT/it/titles/70010000019939/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [MXN 775.0](https://www.nintendo.com/es-mx/store/products/ashen-switch/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [EUR 35.99](https://ec.nintendo.com/PT/pt/titles/70010000019939/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [13,99 €](https://ec.nintendo.com/SK/sk/titles/70010000019939/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [EUR 35.99](https://ec.nintendo.com/ES/es/titles/70010000019939/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [ARS 19999.0](https://www.nintendo.com/es-ar/store/products/ashen-switch/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [BRL 149.99](https://www.nintendo.com/pt-br/store/products/ashen-switch/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [CLP 27900.0](https://www.nintendo.com/es-cl/store/products/ashen-switch/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [COP 119900.0](https://www.nintendo.com/es-co/store/products/ashen-switch/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) N/A N/A N/A [PEN 119.0](https://www.nintendo.com/es-pe/store/products/ashen-switch/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) Show me all prices!
