Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We want to involve players in development and use their feedback to improve gameplay, balance, and the overall experience. Early Access will help us understand what works well and what needs more attention as we continue developing the game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We currently expect Early Access to last approximately 3 months. This timeframe may change depending on development progress and player feedback.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“For the full version, we plan to add new playable heroes, expand the campaign with new acts and locations, and introduce more varied combat encounters within locations. We also plan to add new enemy types and bosses.
We also intend to expand the Guild Atlas progression tree with additional talent nodes, giving players more choices when developing their guild.
Compared with the planned full release, the Early Access version will offer a smaller selection of heroes, campaign areas, enemies, bosses, and Guild Atlas talents. These content expansions are the main additions we plan to develop before leaving Early Access. Their scope and release order may change as development progresses.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version is playable, but the game is still in development. Players may encounter bugs, balance issues, and unfinished elements. Content and gameplay systems may change as development continues. Please review the “About This Game” section for details about the gameplay and content currently available.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to keep the base price unchanged throughout Early Access and increase it when the full version is released.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We plan to collect feedback, suggestions, and bug reports through the Steam Community discussions. Player feedback will help us identify problems, evaluate balance, and prioritize improvements. We also plan to share development updates and patch notes through Steam announcements so the community can follow the game’s progress.”

About This Game

Your party fights. You build it.
ASHENSHIFT Desktop RPG is a dark fantasy idle RPG in a compact Windows window at the edge of your desktop. Your heroes head into battle while you get on with your day. Check back to choose their gear, rethink their talents, and configure abilities for the next threat.

Your party keeps fighting

Your heroes attack and fight automatically, without constant clicking on enemies. Follow the battle in a compact Windows window, adjust its size, and turn off the background to keep your party right on the desktop.

Three heroes. Three roles. Your build.

Unlock three party slots as you progress and bring together a Guardian, Ranger, and Mystic. Combine protection, arrows, and magic, then choose talents and equipment for each hero. Refund talent points and try a different build when the old one stops working.

Decide when abilities fire

Set targets, conditions, and priorities for automatic ability use. Configure protection against a dangerous strike or an attack for the right target. To choose the moment yourself, trigger an available ability manually.

Loot you can work on

Compare equipment drops and choose properties that suit each hero. Enhance gear and fit stones into sockets at the workshop. Reforging offers a new property: you decide whether to accept it or keep the old one.

Choose your next expedition

Open available routes on the campaign maps and revisit them for resources and gear. Face undead and demons across the first two acts. Watch your party's fatigue: send them to rest at the tavern or set up automatic rest.

Put your build to the boss test

The Sepulchral Dragon, other undead bosses, and demonic bosses face your party with their own attacks and phase changes. Prepare your gear and ability rules, watch for dangerous moves, and use protection in time. If your party falls short, rethink the build and try again.
