FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DALLASOct. 21, 2021 – Sands of Aura, the unrelenting action RPG from developer Chashu Entertainment and publisher Freedom Games, starts its souls-like journey on Windows PC via Steam Early Access as well as the Epic Games Store today.
 

Look out over the horizon of Talamhel, a once-thriving realm cursed by the soul ending Night Plague and drowning in a sea of sand. Take up arms with the Order of Remnant Knights and protect the last vestige of humanity. Discover questlines with branching narratives and ambitious requests leading to brutalizing boss fights and incredible rewards.

Hoist the sails, choose between seven combat styles, and traverse the vast sandsea wasteland to uncover islands infested with thieves, bandits, and plague-riddled husks. Master abilities to slash, block, and dodge through imposing enemies and locate the next checkpoint. Experiment with freely customizable load-outs of armor, weapons, magic, and consumable items to create a personalized playstyle.

Loot abandoned ruins of once great and powerful kingdoms to stock up on supplies for the long journey ahead. In between skirmishes, find harmony in the quiet moments around the main hub, the Starspire. Bask in the subversive beauty of the world accompanied by a fully symphonic soundtrack by Eduardo Lopez (Grand Guilds, Wisp, Artificial Infiltration).
 

Sands of Aura creates the type of challenging isometric-specific gameplay we have been wanting from souls-likes,” said Eric Zheng, co-founder, Chashu Entertainment. “As huge fans of the genre, our team has worked incredibly hard to make this Early Access launch something special. We plan to look at everyone’s gameplay and feedback today and get to work immediately on our journey into the full release next year!”
 

Sands of Aura is available now on Windows PC via Early Access on Steam and the Epic Games Store for $24.99 USD with support for English voice-over as well as French, Italian, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, and Simplified Chinese text translations.
