Description

Of Ash and Steel is an immersive third-person open-world RPG created by a passionate team that values the essence of classic old-school RPGs and modern designs. Explore the lands of a once-prosperous island, hone your combat skills, and survive in the unforgiving realm of the Kingdom of the Seven.

 

Features

  • 45 hours of main story, packed with dialogue, well-developed characters, books, and side quests.
  • Two major factions to choose from — each with its own unique storyline, quests, and exclusive rewards. 
  • Combat system features three distinct battle stances, multiple weapon types, and active skills. 
  • A vibrant, open-world island with diverse biomes to explore.
  • A wide range of professions to master, including fishing, hunting, blacksmithing (with the ability to craft your own one-of-a-kind sword), alchemy, and more.

 

Master the art of combat

 

Of Ash and Steel offers a challenging yet rewarding combat system. You are not a legendary bounty hunter or monster slayer by default. Instead, you must master the mechanics: manage stamina, time your attacks and parries, and determine which combat stances and weapon types suit you best. It takes time and practice, but the more you play, the more both you and Tristan evolve and gain an understanding of what is happening around you.

 

Learn to stand up for yourself using different weapons, environments, and active skills. Tailor your fighting style to suit you, from the agile rapier wielder to a heavy armour-clad knight, or create something unique!

 

 

 

Shape the fate of the world

 

Immerse yourself in a story full of twists, humor, and discoveries. Step into the shoes of a man who is destined to become much more than just a cartographer. Gain strength, survive, and forge alliances. Prove that even someone who has lost everything can become a significant force that can shape the fate of the whole world. Talk to locals to learn about their daily lives, and help them with tasks. Watch how people’s opinions of you change as your character grows. Join one of the two major factions and complete its unique storyline to earn exclusive rewards. Your actions and choices will also affect the world and the characters around you.

 

 

Explore like you used to 

 

Of Ash and Steel has no marker system, and quests won't lead you by the hand. Rediscover the joy of exploration and let curiosity be your guide; the world promises rich rewards for those who dare to uncover its secrets.

 

Listen carefully to what people tell you and pay attention to what is said in the quests to find your way. Read books and notes to learn more about the world. Mark interesting locations on your map, explore the island, and uncover hidden treasures!

Early Access Experience. Decent.

Riddled with bugs for now... but i like the game, scratches the gothic itch. Early access. 1) Crossbows dont work 2) The scroll for goblin (cart wheels quest) disappeared, had to reload 3) Bugs in a butchers shop require you to sleep to respawn... how could anyone know?! Other than that, nothing game braking. Some textures glitches, broken loading screen, 1 i had glitched inventory (could exit). The quest text is... bad. Sometimes game just tells you: "Find Bob!" and thats it. Not what part of town Bob can be found. SometimesBob can only be found in a particular location during a particular time of day...

Absolute banger

Barely started, but the first impression of it is nailing it. The wilderness might seem harsh and cruel at first (because it is), but just keeping your ear on the ground and picking your fights carefully will get you far.
