Greetings, dear fighters! We've just rolled out a new update, bringing lots of tweaks to exploration, inventory and more...

- Looking for Feedback — Navigation & Getting Lost - 12 March 2023
When designing Clash we knew from the get go that choosing not to implement waypoints, guided instructions, fast travel... (and asking people to actually explore the world on foot to figure out where to go) was a challenging proposition. The norm in game development (for years) has been about telling players where to go and when. We made the best efforts to make our world as intuitive as possible without spoiling it all with a guided mechanic that holds your hand. However, we understand that getting lost for hours isn't fun, so we'd like to ask players who have beaten the game (or played it a lot) to share which locations they felt were hard to navigate through or find. We're compiling info and will add some assets in our level design to help lead people in the right direction in upcoming game updates. Rest assured, we'll only move around decorations or add a few colourful assets, or si…
- Clash: Artifacts of Chaos review - 10 March 2023
Clash: Artifacts of Chaos is like the anti-God of War. It bears a family resemblance to Sony’s franchise revival, enough to invite comparison, but its design philosophy could hardly be more different. In particular, if you ever thought God of War would benefit from a more hands-off approach to nudging you through its adventures, then rest assured Clash keeps its sweaty palms strictly to itself. If that sounds heavenly for those who prefer their games not to be littered with symbols and NPC chatter telling them where to go and how to get there, however, beware the old adage: "Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it." Pushing through Clash’s lush world and sprinkled narrative is often a richer experience due to the absence of supervisory noise. Yet it swings the pendulum of player guidance so far to the opposite extreme you may find yourself crying out for a ques…

- Безумная обыденность: Обзор Clash: Artifacts of Chaos - 9 March 2023
Давным-давно чилийская студия ACE Team отметилась выпуском дилогии Zeno Clash — странных игр от первого лица, события которых разворачивались в причудливом мире Зенозоик и знакомили аудиторию с населяющими его персонажами. О чем были те игры вы можете уже и не вспомнить, однако в память наверняка должен был врезаться сеттинг — сюрреалистический взгляд на конфликты разномастных племен, обладающих уникальными традициями, идеями и культурой. Приключение, похожее на лихорадочный сон. Дикая фантазия о том, чего никогда не существовало.

- DEV BLOG: How we Gave Clash its Unique Art Style - 21 February 2023
Hello everyone, and welcome to this dev blog about a topic we often get asked about: our game’s stylized rendering! Video games can use many different styles to create a unique look and feel. For Clash, we knew from the beginning that we wanted to use a very colorful and non-realistic one for many reasons: to set it apart from other games in the genre, to allow us to stylize and exaggerate the animation and color palette, and to approximate the illustrations and punk-fantasy art that inspired the creation of the world in the first place. Stylized rendering is a powerful tool that highlights that “What to draw?” and “How to draw it?” are two different questions. This is the third time we have visited the surreal world of Zenozoik and its primitive humanoid animal inhabitants, but it is the first time we are approaching the “how to draw it” with a really different technique! There are man…

- Warthog fistfights, barrel goblins, and wooden ghosts: This action-RPG is 10 times weirder than Elden Ring - 13 February 2023
Every enemy in Clash: Artifacts of Chaos is like its own bizarre work of art. From an antelope with horns for legs, to a grotesque, frying pan-wielding barrel goblin, to a silent warrior in some kind of symbiotic relationship with a crab, every single one is so creative and lurid that you just want to walk up, stare at them and drink in all the weird details. But I can tell you from experience that if you do that, they'll smash your face in until you turn into a ghost made of wood. Er, more on that later... Read more.
