Better get ready, because Sands of Aura is leaving the early access and reaching its full release!

Sands of Aura is a captivating open-world action-adventure game that immerses you in a fantasy realm on the brink of twilight, where a vast sea of sand has buried the world. Embark on a journey across the expansive sandseas to revitalize a dying world, combining a gripping narrative with challenging, souls-like combat for an unforgettable gaming experience.

Now on GOG!

The game sounds very interesting. But here is the big question: as someone who feels closer to ARPGs and not too much to Soulslike games, is this a game for me? How's the difficulty of the game, can it be adjusted to the player's preferences?

Thanks! The video is quite old, so i hoped they made some changes maybe that makes it a bit more accessible for ARPG gamers :)

I hope so too, but I don't think the core mechanics have changed much. Usually devs just fix bugs and make minor balance tweaks.

Hey so the game can be difficult if you let it be. If you only gather resources you come across in the main quest and don't like exploring side quests/collecting hidden items then you'll need to pay close attention to your enemies and dodge, block, and parry them to succeed. However if you spend the time you can upgrade you gear and become very powerful making some difficult encounters much more managable. There are also a ton of effects on armor, weapons, runes, brews, etc so if you're into build crafting you can make some seriously powerful builds in this game.

Thanks for the help. Unfortunately I haven't found any new videos on YouTube yet. Maybe something else will come.

Thanks, that's good to know! I grew up with games like Might and Magic and the like, so doing some grinding to make life easier on the long run is something I'm used to, so it's good to know that this mechanic works in this game as well :)

Thank you very much! I actually like games that have the difficulty based on your play style. Most RPGs I like become pretty easy once your char level is higher and you have better gear :)

Back to the wishlist with this game!

Thanks for the link. Just what I was looking for.

It's missing Achievements on GOG even though it has 58 of them on St***, just like the other games published by "Freedom Games" on GOG are also missing the Achievements that they have elsewhere.

GOG curation really should step in and stop allowing this second-class citizen treatment to happen continually.

I feel like you would enjoy life more if you stopped looking at achievements as a part of a game and start looking at them as a part of Steam, and just sometimes a bonus on Galaxy. Just some unsolicited advice.
