Remnant: From the Ashes is a cooperative third-person shooter set in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by a hostile otherworldly root. Up to three players fight through dynamically generated areas, combining ranged combat with soulslike difficulty and resource management.

Procedural level generation means dungeons, enemies, and bosses vary between playthroughs, encouraging repeated runs. A mix of firearms and melee weapons, along with mod-based special attacks, gives players flexibility in how they approach each encounter.
