About the Game



"The Outcasts brought Ash Curse upon us all, and they are the only ones who can lift it." - Ash Master.


Deck of Ashes is an adventure game with tactical card combat. One character at a time, lead the cast of antiheroes on a quest for redemption. Explore the cursed fantasy world and hunt down powerful cards. Put your survival and resource management skills to the test when upgrading your Camp of allies.

The choices that drive your journey - where to go, which resource to collect, which risk to take, and which card to craft - are the difference between success and untimely demise.

Can You Rid the World Of the Ash Curse?


Features


  • Creative deck-building - collect combat cards that fit your unique playstyle and crush the enemy!
  • Unique hand-drawn eerie art style.
  • Dynamic dark fantasy world - travel through a procedurally generated, changing world in search for cards, supplies and glory!


  • Various biomes that harbour different monster classes - each biome affects the gameplay and offers a unique set of opponents!
  • Survival and resource management - you have limited opportunities to restore health or spent cards, so use them wisely!
  • Camp - strategically improve your base depending on your style of play.
  • Permadeath - unless you use the help of dark magic, then when you die, you die for good.

Dynamic and Dangerous World


Deck of Ashes features a procedurally generated world where danger waits around every corner. Sudden ambushes, cataclysms, and random events will force you to constantly adapt and explore fleeting opportunities to gain an edge! Refine your strategy on the go to ensure your survival!

Deck-building Done Right


We provide you with the best deck-building tools we could develop. If you are a newbie - we got you covered, as there are sets of cards that obviously work well together. And if you are ready to go crazy with your own deck idea, there is a 100+ cards for each character to explore and combine. BEWARE: a ton of potential to go nuts with the unexpected combos!

Upgrade the Camp to Meet Your Needs


Different strategies require vastly different upgrades of your Camp. The resources are scarce, and you won't be able to upgrade everything in one playthrough, so choose wisely!

I'm glad I only spent $4.50AUD on this game. It's meh at best, perhaps if it had more polish it might be better, but a lot of the UI feels really rough. There are 3 bosses then a final boss and the strategies to beat it

Loved Slay the Spire. This is a terrible clone. Card synergies are literally sleep inducing. Story is insta-skip after 5 minutes. Level tiers are indistinguishable. Boss mechanics = uninspired. Art is the best part and

Pretty bad, unballanced, unpolished. Like e.g. the game's main gimmick, the ash cards, are unsuable as the final boss is a hard counter for builds that relay on them. All being said though, if you like engine builders,

If you have a controller connected you cannot play the game with mouse and keyboard... 4 year old issue that they said they would fix... Both Ash and resource mechanics are a chore/punish several playstyles, basically

Deck of Ashes has a lot of potential, but since it hasn't been updated since November 2020 I have to assume it never will be again and give my thoughts as this is the absolute final version. PROS: + Interesting

TL;DR Skip. Other games have come out in the genre since this entered Early Access years ago that are far better. Deck of Ashes offers nothing interesting besides a *very* poorly designed mechanic that prevents the game
