"Dawn of the Ashen Queen" is a classic grid-based, first-person dungeon crawler reminiscent of 90s RPG games. Set out with your party to reveal the legacy of a millennia-old curse in a narrative-rich experience. Explore the colorful world of Eshavon, unearth its many secrets and fight dangerous foes sent out to stop you on your mission.

Explore your Fate

Three years have passed since Eshavon was devastated during the Grand War. A shaky truce has been concluded between the Darok tribes from the north and the Imperial Kingdom south of the Blistering Mountains. As an Emissary of the Grand Marshal, you are spreading his will, tasked with overseeing the reconstruction.

But as you visit one of the border towns, a surprise attack devastates the city and cuts you off from the rest of the empire. Together with a band of unlikely allies coming to your aid, it is now upon you to avert the danger to the empire and uncover a plot that threatens not just your earthly kingdom but the very existence of the entire continent itself.

Key Features
  • In-depth RPG character creation with multiple races, classes and traits, a point-based ability system and several class-based skill trees.
  • 3 NPCs join your party throughout the game, all with their own personality.
  • Fleshed-out narrative driven gameplay with text-based cutscenes, dialogues and party banter bringing life to the world and let you experience an immersive story with twists and turns.
  • Plenty of secrets wait for you to get discovered: secret doors, illusionary walls and puzzles to test your wits. But beware of devious traps, which lure careless explorers into their death.
  • Real-time based combat where you fight your foes with a wide array of sharp weapons, powerful spells and cunning abilities.
  • Explore the diverse world of Eshavon: Travel through lush forests, deep dark caverns, blistering ice mountains, mysterious crypts, fog-covered woods, ancient halls of a long-forgotten race and plenty of other colorful environments.

Real-time blobber. :killit:

Stop doing games in these nonsensical sub-genre. A blobber should be turn based, no exceptions. If you want a CRPG in first person and real time at the same time then go for single character. I never saw a RT blobber that works really well mechanically. It is always too simple or having a party seems completely redundant or it controls like ass. Or all of the above. There are some almost semi-decent RT blobbers out there but they are semi-decent not because they have mechanics of RT/blobbers.

F**k those games, waste of time and, sometimes, talent of their creators. It could be used to make worthwhile games.

Retarded butthurt hags with slow faggly fingers, screeching about RT blobbers as if the TB ones are some kind of superior specimen.

When in reality they're all rehashing the same basic bitch mechanics for 40 years.

Pointless tedium like needing to constantly recast buffs to be at the actual necessary stat level, and autistic random encounters every few steps.

Zed Duke of Banville is right

What has recasting buffs or random encounters have with anything talked here? Those aren't an integral part of TB, blobbers or not. You can have them, or not have them, in almost any CRPG subgenre. You might as well mention poor itemization, stat bloat, linearity, lack of difficulty or bad breath and say it's only a problem in [name a subgenre you dislike here]. Because why not.
That phrase is clearly meant for you, not for me: Do you even...

Zed posts his love for that particular game everywhere. I already explained why RT being bad for blobbers != all RT blobbers being bad. It isn't a hard concept to grasp.
