Epos of Ashes
A cooperative survival adventure where 1-4 players must defend their Generator against relentless waves while exploring four distinct biomes. Build, craft, and survive in a world risen from ashes.
Core Gameplay
Survive the Onslaught
In Epos of Ashes, you'll discover a post-apocalyptic world where survival hinges on one critical objective: protect the Generator. This mysterious energy source keeps your base operational, but its pulse attracts hostile creatures in escalating waves. Solo or with up to three allies, you must gather resources, fortify defenses, and push into dangerous biomes before the next assault arrives. Time is your enemy—prepare wisely, or watch everything crumble.
- Cooperative Multiplayer
Team up with 1-3 friends in seamless co-op powered by Photon PUN 2. Share resources, divide roles, and coordinate strategies to survive together.
- Four Unique Biomes
Explore Summer forests, Winter tundra, Desert wastelands, and mystical Valleys. Each biome offers unique resources, challenges, and environmental hazards.
- Dynamic Building System
Construct fortified bases with snap-grid precision. Build foundations, walls, roofs, and defensive structures. Upgrade from wood to stone for superior protection.
- Deep Combat & Crafting
Master melee weapons like swords and axes, or engage from range with bows. Craft over 100 recipes across multiple workbenches and tiers.
- Hardcore Mode Challenge
Test your survival skills in Hardcore Mode with increased enemy damage, faster stat degeneration, and scarce resources. Permadeath option available.
- Generator Defense Core
Protect your Generator at all costs. This mysterious device powers your base but attracts relentless enemy waves. If it falls, you fail.
- Wave-Based Threats
Face dynamic enemy waves that scale with your progression. Early attacks test defenses, while late-game assaults require coordinated team tactics.
- Survival Mechanics
Manage hunger, thirst, health, and stamina systems. Adapt to temperature extremes and weather conditions. Smart resource management is key to survival.
The Survival Loop
Gameplay revolves around a tight cycle: explore biomes to gather rare resources, craft advanced tools and weapons, build defensive fortifications, then venture deeper before the next wave hits. Each biome unlocks new materials and recipes, but also introduces environmental hazards and stronger enemies. Multiplayer amplifies strategy—assign roles, share loot, and coordinate defenses to survive escalating threats.

World Map
Diverse Biomes & Environments
Navigate through interconnected biomes in singleplayer or challenge up to 4 players in competitive multiplayer modes. Each environment presents unique survival challenges, resources, and dangers. Progress unlocks access to more treacherous regions with greater rewards. Four core biomes await in the initial release:
Summer
Lush forests rich with basic resources provide the perfect starting ground. Abundant wood, stone, and wildlife make this the training zone for new survivors learning core mechanics.
Winter
Frozen tundra where temperature management becomes critical. Limited visibility during blizzards and ice-based hazards demand careful preparation and warm clothing to survive.
Desert
Barren wasteland with extreme heat and scarce water sources. Daytime exposure drains stamina rapidly, forcing strategic planning for resource expeditions and shelter timing.
Valley
Mystical vale featuring unique flora and challenging boss encounters. This high-level zone tests mastery of all survival systems learned in previous biomes.
The world continues to expand. Three additional biomes are currently in early design phases, each planned to introduce new gameplay mechanics, environmental challenges, and strategic depth to the survival experience:
Tropical Island
Dense jungle ecosystem with coastal exploration opportunities. New aquatic challenges and exotic resources await those who venture into this humid paradise turned survival arena.
Savanna
Transitional grasslands between island tropics and arid desert. Dynamic wildlife encounters and special event zones test adaptability in this open, exposed environment.
Volcano
Extreme environment with lethal heat levels and volcanic hazards. Reserved for endgame content, this zone demands mastery of advanced equipment and defensive tactics.
Biome Progression System
Access to new biomes isn't automatic. Players must prove their survival capabilities through three progression paths: Level Requirements (character advancement through combat and crafting), Quest Completion(story-driven objectives that teach biome-specific mechanics), or Boss Victories (defeating regional guardians to claim territory).
Each biome features distinct resource types, enemy factions, weather patterns, and environmental hazards. Materials gathered in one biome often become essential for crafting gear needed to survive the next, creating a natural progression loop that rewards thorough exploration and preparation.
Track Development Progress
Epos of Ashes is in active development following a structured 60-week roadmap across 13 phases. Phase 1 (Core Foundation) is complete, with multiplayer systems, character mechanics, and the Summer biome fully operational. Follow the journey from foundation to release.
