What is Ash & Rust?

This single-player, top-down action RPG takes place in a dark fantasy world, where you serve a powerful organization as an entity called an OMEN. You fight enemies and bosses, collect equipment, and fit shaped augments into an inventory grid to modify abilities. Dialogue choices shape branching quests, and multiple endgame modes have their own mechanics.
