Sands of Aura will launch its top-down Souls-like RPG on Steam Early Access

Sands of Aura changes the perspective of the Souls-like, taking it from the third-person viewpoint to a top-down presentation. Development studio Chashu Entertainment announced during the Freedom Games E3 Showcase today that it’s launching into Steam Early Access in either late 2021 or early 2022.

Sands of Aura takes place in Talamhel, a world warped by the Night Plague, which struck centuries ago. Seas of sand fill the world, and its people use ships that sail on the dunes (picture the landships from Netflix’s Shadow & Bone). You’re a member of the Order of Remnant Knights, and you sail to different islands, which function like dungeons. There, you fight the humans and monsters that the Night Plague corrupted, seeking to cleanse Talamhel of the rot.
