The world after the end
Primarily, Remnant: From the Ashesis set on Earth, after an invasion of extradimensional creatures. The assault had left the planet in pretty bad shape: big cities lay in ruins, surrounded by desolate wastelands. As the player progresses through the game, the world around them generates procedurally. There are no specific points where the items or enemies spawn, so the player has to be really careful while returning to already visited areas. During the playthrough, the player will have a chance to visit dimensions outside Earth, such as the jungles of Yaesha or the buried halls of Rhom.
Action-survival gameplay
The core gameplay mechanics of Remnant involve traveling through procedurally generated maps, fighting enemies and collecting loot for upgrades. The player’s character is able to perform two types of attacks, melee and long-range. All firearms can be upgraded by collecting scrap, adding to the strength of a particular tool. Firearms can be equipped with mods, further developing their destructive capabilities. There is also the crafting mechanic which, allows the player to create weapons from scratch. The player can also upgrade their armor, reducing the damage taken in battle.
Play solo or in co-op
Remnant: From the Ashes can be played either solo or in co-op multiplayer. The items and experience points carry out from single to multiplayer, so the player needn’t worry about losing their progress after switching the mode. Loot collected in multiplayer is distributed equally between the members of the player’s party – if one player finds an especially good item, others will receive it too.
