In “Ascent of Ashes,” players find themselves surviving on an alien planet after a societal collapse. The gameplay involves building shelters, farming crops, taming alien creatures, and using salvaged technology to fortify the colony against threats. The combat system in the game goes beyond point-and-click mechanics, featuring a detailed hit simulation and health system that can incapacitate players even with non-lethal hits.
The game’s world is procedurally generated, offering various biomes and points of interest. Players can explore this vast world using restored vehicles and interact with other survivors, each with unique personalities and motivations. Players, as colony leaders, are tasked with recruiting capable survivors to overcome increasing challenges and maintain a happy and secure colony.
