Nordic Ashes News

New survivor!

Thyra has survived the Ragnarök and has come to hunt down every enemy she faces. No prey will escape her arrow. She wanders enchanted woods like a nomad, always alert, always searching for her next target.



Thyra has her own Constellation with 4 unique weapons and abilities!

• Uncanny Bow
  
• Revna
  
• Daggers
  
• Poison Bomb
  

Every survivor has unique stats that make the gameplay completely different from each other. For example, Thyra shoots 1 extra projectile with any weapon she wields and has an initial boost in her movement speed.

More updates!

• We have extended the Midgard map up to Wave 4 and added new enemies! How far will you get?
  
• Artifacts: A new kind of item will drop from enemies and to give the survivors a single use effect. Check them out!
  
• Enemies can now drop special XP orbs that will give you an extra boost.
  
• Elites and Bosses now drop either a chest or an extra large XP orb.
  

Stay tuned for more updates on our Discord

Beware! Some enemy hordes carry runic chests with them! & they will grant you random permanent upgrades for your weapons! The cool thing is that these upgrades do not count as a level up, so no xp will be wasted! Now you can improve your weapons even more!

We are so proud to announce the technical demo of our new game: Nordic Ashes!

This demo is a sneak peak of Nordic Ashes, to show you how gameplay works, some mechanics and art of our game. Most of the content is under development and therefore locked, but we hope you can feel its potential.

In this demo you will find:
● Axeldör: a survivor viking that travels from the North Mountains of Raxüss. Fierce warrior who claims his mastery with the sword to slain whatever it comes.
● Axeldör’s Constellation: You will have access to part of his constellation abilities. That means you’ll be able to upgrade 4 Unique Weapons and Abilities and 4 Passive Abilities.
● Midgard: The first world to explore, also known as planet Earth (1st - 3rd Wave).
● 5 Special Weapons: Apart from Axeldör’s main weapons you can obtain other special weapons every time you complete a Wave.
● 1st Boss: The Skavenger King. First of many bosses to come!


What you’ll get in following updates:
● Chest upgrades
● Events
● 2 new Survivors with new abilities, weapons, and their unique constellations
