Of Ash and Steel

If you enjoy slow, deliberate RPGs where combat demands attention and you want to explore the world on foot, this one is for you. There is no rush here: first you learn to take a hit and time your parries, then you start to feel Tristan growing with every fight. What you'll like: - Early on, your time goes to getting to know the island and its people: someone points you the way, someone asks for help, and each request leads somewhere new. - Combat feels different from the usual genre fare: stamina is not endless, and your stance choice changes how each clash unfolds. - Crafting is more than decoration. You can forge a sword from your own blueprint or dabble in alchemy, and you will actually use it on the road. - Two factions pull in different directions, and the choices you make along the way really change how people see you.

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. 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! 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. 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!
