Evaluation
Deck of Ashes launched out of Early Access on June 9, 2020. During Early Access and shortly after launch, the game received a series of meaningful updates, including a new playable character (Buck, added September 2019), new game modes, card system overhauls, and controller support. The most recent and final substantial content release was the Tome of Dimensions DLC on April 21, 2022, which added a fourth playable character (Sibyl), over 100 new cards, new enemies, and console ports. All five DLC items listed on the store are released, with no unreleased entries. The developer's news feed since April 2022 contains no posts related to Deck of Ashes — all subsequent announcements from the publisher ESDigital Games concern entirely different titles (REMEDIUM: Sentinels, BattleJuice Alchemist, Cats on Duty, AWAKEN: Astral Blade, Sky of Tides). No roadmaps, future content announcements, or developer statements about ongoing development for Deck of Ashes exist after April 2022. The game appears to have concluded its content cycle with the Tome of Dimensions DLC.

About this 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.

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!
