About Ashen Vigil
Ashen Vigil is a hand-built 2D action game from developer seyedalifarjad, mixing souls-like combat with metroidvania exploration. A fading fire needs a guardian, and only one remains to tend it. Your road passes through eight ruined regions that link together, with nine bosses standing in your way. Fights are close and deliberate, and getting through them depends on learning the timing of your swings, dodges and parries. Patience and skill are meant to carry you.
