Inside ASH: Archaic Sealed Heat

What it is

Newly crowned Queen Aisya has to find the bracelet of her kingdom of Millinear in order to restore it after the fiend named Salamander put it to ruin. ASH: Archaic Sealed Heat is a game of mixed RPG genres with movement being done as a turn based tactical RPG and the combat itself being carried out in a traditional turn based RPG style. Players can only control up to three characters when in turn based battle. The game also features permadeath so taking care of characters is of utmost importance.

The premise

"This RPG takes place in a medieval European-like country named Milinia. On her seventeenth birthday, the princess Aisya will be crowned queen. Her subjects are gathered around the palace while her uncle, the regent who has been looking after both the princess and the country in place of the king watches on with great pride.

However, this is not to last. For the moment the bracelet of Milinia touches Aisya's wrist a giant flaming serpent descended from the skies and set fire to the whole country. The green, prosperous Milinia and its majestic palace is no more, everything has fallen apart around Aisya when she finally came to her senses. While the casualties are great, miraculously, some warriors survived the flame, this include the regent. Although they are no longer human, they are alive as ash soldiers. Accompanied by these survivors, Aisya sets off to find out the truth behind the flaming serpent and ways to revive her country."
