The Ashen Gate

Action RPG

Rest at the ember, and the fallen rise again.

A knight wakes at an ember altar outside a ruined castle, with a sword, a charred shield and three flasks. Between him and the great door stand the Outer Ward, the battlements and the Inner Ward, held by hollows, halberd-armed watchmen and a brute with a maul, and past the mist on the Warden's Bridge, the Gatewarden himself. Every swing, roll and blocked blow spends stamina, so the fight is about timing: roll through a blow and it cannot touch you, raise the shield only while you have the strength to hold it, and strike when the enemy is still recovering. Resting at an altar heals you and refills your flasks, but it raises everything you killed. Die and your embers stay where you fell, until you reach them or die again on the way.
