Quick steps to get started
Goal: descend as deep as you can, reach the exit of each level and survive the bosses.
Phone: left stick — move and jump, right stick — aim and fire (auto-aim is on by default). Buttons on the right: grenade, cutter, weapon swap.
PC: A/D — move, W — jump, Space — jetpack, mouse — aim and fire, right mouse button — grenade, 1–4 — weapons, F — cutter, Esc — pause.
The level goal and the “rift hungers” counter are in the top-right corner; the arrow at the screen edge points to the goal. Spend gold in the Arsenal (pause → Arsenal, or after a level). The cutter slices any rock but barely hurts enemies.
What's it all about?
The colony of Sorrow-IV has gone silent. The Ash Legion sends its last executor to the very bottom, where something ancient and hungry has awoken. ASH OF THE DEPTHS is a dark sci-fi shooter where every pixel of the world obeys physics. Rock collapses, sand pours, water flows, magma cools into stone and gas explodes from a single spark. WHAT IS INSIDE • 100 levels and a 6-chapter story campaign with two endings. • 7 biomes: flooded mines, frozen cisterns, a meat manufactory, toxic marshes, crystal veins, the forges of the abyss and the bottom. • 15 enemy types and bosses: the infected, gunners, snipers, shield bearers, borer worms, the Flesh Smith and the Womb Mother. • 5 weapons for different situations and a plasma cutter to carve your own path. • 10 pieces of ancient armor that turn the hero into an armored slayer. • The Arsenal: gear and upgrades for gold — a helper drone, a fireproof suit, an endless rebreather and more. • Daily Descent, ambushes, hidden caches, an endless mode and a matter sandbox.
