An MMORPG game set in a fantasy world developed by Interpid Studios. Ashes of Creation takes us to a fantasy land that experienced a cataclysm a long time ago. Now there are only remains of the civilization, and when the members of the sentient species regained rule over the land, they also woke up an old threat. We create our own character, choosing one of eight races with different specializations.

Intrepid Studios is a development team founded by individuals with a portfolio that includes projects such as the EverQuest series, Star Wars Galaxies, PlanetSide 2, and Vanguard: Saga of Heroes. This team created the MMORPG game titled Ashes of Creation and it was made possible in part due to a successful crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter.

Gameplay

In Ashes of Creation the action is viewed from a third-person perspective (TPP).

Character creation

The game begins with creating our character. We are allowed to choose one of the archetypes, among which we can find a rogue, a summoner, or even a "tank" who takes most of the damage during combat.

Adventure in an open world

During the game we visit the land of Verra. It is an open world with a day-night cycle and changing seasons, as well as cataclysms that permanently affect the specific server.
