Get Ready for Your Next Medieval Adventure with Of Ash and Steel!

Your Next Epic Quest Awaits!

As we say goodbye to Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, it’s time to gear up for another thrilling medieval journey! Enter the realm of Of Ash and Steel, a fresh RPG that promises to fill that adventurer-sized hole in your heart. Now, before you ask, no, I’m not talking about yet another DLC for Kingdom Come. This is an entirely new game with its own twist and flavor!

Medieval Mayhem with a Twist!

So, what’s this new game all about? Picture this: you’re playing as Tristan, a cartographer-turned-warrior, thrust into a world where your navigational skills will determine your survival. Feel that excitement yet? Of Ash and Steel transports you back to the golden age of RPGs from the early 2000s, but don’t expect it to look like some brand-new shiny triple-A title. Sure, you might notice the occasional clunky animation or awkward lip-syncing that screams ‘Indie Charm’—but hey, who needs perfection when the gameplay does the talking?

The game boasts a main story that stretches over a whopping 45 hours. And yes, there are more side quests and delightful lore entries than you can shake a sword at. You’ll be immersed in the weighty, realistic combat system that Kingdom Come fans know and love, with three distinct stances to master and a treasure trove of weaponry at your fingertips!

Channeling your inner adventurer, you’ll traverse seven distinct islands, each packed with surprises and challenges. And guess what? Say goodbye to those pesky quest markers! You’ll have to rely solely on your wits and keen sense of adventure to find your way around. But don’t fret too much! With shorelines always nearby, getting lost might just turn into a little unexpected exploration!

But wait, there’s more! Beyond the main quests and epic combat, Of Ash and Steel also invites you to dabble in a variety of activities like fishing, hunting, and even alchemy. Oh yes, you can craft your own legendary swords through blacksmithing, a feature that fans of KCD2 will absolutely adore. Just imagine creating a sword that’s uniquely yours—and perhaps giving it a goofy name like “The Spaghetti Slice”!

While it has its fair share of indie jank, Of Ash and Steel packs in all the medieval RPG goodness a gamer could want. After a slight delay due to pesky bugs, the game has finally launched on Steam and it’s already making waves. You can even check out the demo before diving in—because who wouldn’t want to test out the waters before that $29.99 entry fee? Grab your gear, rally your friends, and get ready for an adventure that makes you say, “Why did I wait so long?!”
