Ashen is a new action adventure RPG that is heavily inspired by Dark Souls. In fact, this is a complete copycat of FromSoftware’s title, albeit it features an open-world environment and a different visual style. Since the game has already been released, we’ve decided to capture some 4K screenshots from it.
In order to capture these screenshots, we used our EVGA GeForce RTX2080Ti XC Gaming graphics card. Naturally, we used the Ultra settings and as we can see, NVIDIA’s GPU had no trouble at all running the game with more than 60fps.
Ashen is powered by Unreal Engine 4 and cleverly enough, its developers have used a cartoon-ish style. As such, the game’s art direction is really interesting however I wasn’t really amazed by what was shown on screen. There are some cool effects but overall I wasn’t really wow-ed by what I saw. Then again, this is a game from a small studio so we shouldn’t expect mind-blowing visuals.
If you are into Dark Souls games, you should definitely check out Ashen as it is basically Dark Souls with an open-world environment. On the other hand, if you hate this trend of every game borrowing the combat mechanics of the Souls games, you should avoid it like the plague.
Enjoy!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

I don’t mind. I’ll be playing this as soon as I find AC Odyssey. I’m all for supporting the devs by using Epic.
“admittedly, that is is 100% entitlement from my part. Not Epic nor the devs are entitled to partake in that.”
get that shet out of your small brain, you’re a consumer, demand more and let them change to your taste you weak cuck
LOL, EPIC having exclusives isnt a monopoly? LOL again.
I don’t think you understand what a monopoly is.
I’m pretty sure by monopoly he meant Steam…
Cringe
You’d rather fall in line, support the monopoly, and provide less funding to developers?
First comes customers then developers, especially where in 2019 every new game gonna have new launcher so goodluck with that
Seems developers are already showing up.
This minimalistic style could be the solution to graphics costing too much time and money.
Those mobile-like graphics need to git gud.
Although to be fair it’s priced considerably below the $60/equivalent price point.
I can’t wait to buy this and then refund it lol F this device team and epic
main character is a transgender.
Is this the game that is on a monopoly in that new store that is desperately to have some customers aside from Fortnite ones.
LOL, EPIC having exclusives isnt a monopoly? LOL again.
No Steam, no sale.
Best souls-like game I’ve played this gen.
