A Hardcore ARPG Inspired by Diablo and Dark Souls

Sands of Aura delivers the brutal difficulty of Souls-like games – along with rewarding dungeon crawling, endlessly addictive loot progression, and Unreal 4-powered real-time combat.

Set in the world of Talamhel, the game is filled with a morbid roster of the depraved: The fervent Ferrum, wielding their curved blades with deadly elegance; the hive-minded Hashara, overpowering their enemies in great, hive-sized numbers; and the multitudes of corrupt wildlife, grotesquely reborn by the corruption.

Brave the sea of shifting sands to reach new islands. Explore the ruins of great empires and discover the entrenched monstrosities that lay within …


Key Features

  • Sail the sands in search of adventure and glory.
  • Dive head first into battle – or don’t! The choice is yours.
  • Engage in real-time combat not for the faint of heart.
  • Face ever more horrifying monsters ready to strike at a moment’s notice.
  • Enjoy an incredible music score by Eduardo Lopez. 
  • Choose from hundreds of unique weapon combinations to cleave, maul or spear your way to victory. 
  • Customize your weapons to gain an advantage in every skirmish.
  • Vanquish the corrupted races of Talamhel whenever they stand in your way!


Availability

Sands of Aura is expected to hit Steam Early Access in 2021.

DALLAS – Dec. 8, 2020 – Chashu Entertainment today announced that Sands of Aura, the studio’s latest project, will arrive on Steam Early Access in 2021. Featuring stunning Unreal 4 graphics – including eye-opening level design, creature modeling and particle effectsSands of Aura delivers the brutal difficulty of Souls-like games, along with rewarding dungeon crawling, addictive loot progression, and hardcore real-time combat.

Armed with hope for the future and little else, navigate the sands surrounding the ruins, loot challenging dungeons, and head off evil by acquiring powerful weapons and items. You won’t be alone on your journey: Others will help you along your path, if you’ve proven yourself in their eyes. 

Brave the sea of shifting sands to reach new islands. Explore the ruins of great empires and discover the entrenched monstrosities that lay within. Yes, Talamhel is filled with endless hordes of the depraved: The graceful Ferrum, wielding their curved blades with deadly elegance; the insectoid Hashara, overpowering their enemies in great, hive-sized numbers; and so much more. To face them, you’ll first need to select the combat style that best suits your skills. Make use of hundreds of unique weapon combinations to cleave, maul or spear your way through difficult encounters. Each weapon’s handle, pommel, and head have different stats, effects, and visuals – to spice things up, make sure to add the Spell Blade to the mix.

Sands of Aura is a dream project for us,” says Eric Zheng, co-founder of Chashu Entertainment. “We’re holding nothing back: Every second of every minute is being poured into development as if the game were a living thing. Of course, it helps that basically everyone in the studio is immensely talented and a serious fan of both Diablo and the Dark Souls franchise!”
