Wyrmbyte has released a new dev diary discussing some of the powers players will get to use in their upcoming open-world action game, Ashes of Oahu.
You can read the full dev diary here, and check out a new story trailer above.
Ashes of Oahu is set in a post-apocalyptic Hawaii, where the ancient gods of the island have reawaked. You play as Kai, a warrior that can gain the favor of the gods by activating shrines scattered across the island. Some of these powers include the ability to deflect bullets, manipulate lava, and shapeshift into a bird or shark.
Here’s a rundown on the game:
Ashes of Oahu is an open world, story driven shooter where you work with or against the surviving factions of a post apocalyptic Hawaii.
- Inspired by native Hawaiian stories, traditions, and beliefs but with a unique fictional twist that brings in ghosts, raiders, and gods
- Four distinct factions to work for…or against!
- Over 75,000 lines create a massive and engaging narrative
- Choices truly matter and can lead to any one of over 100 different endings!
- Guns take on new and amazing powers thanks to the Magical Weapon Mod System
- Play your way by unlocking 50+ skills and abilities
- 25 sq/km of beautiful locations throughout Oahu, Hawaii
- Craft items from Hawaiian resources you find throughout the island
Ashes of Oahu is coming to Windows PC via Steam sometime later this year.
