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?

“Ashplate is made by one developer. Acts I and II are finished and balanced, and I want players' feedback to shape Act III, new survivors and new cards before the full release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“About 6 to 12 months. Act III is the main goal; updates will arrive along the way.”

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

“The full version adds Act III, the Underbarrow, with its own creatures, elites and final boss. It will also add more cards, artifacts, boons, trinkets and survivors, and polish based on your feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Two full acts (the Drowned Mire and the Moonlit Hunting Grounds), two survivors with 76 cards each, 37 creatures, 8 elites and 2 bosses, and three save slots with autosave after every battle. English only.”

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

“Yes. The price will rise when the full version releases. Early Access buyers get every update at no extra cost.”

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

“Through the Steam discussions (the game's Give feedback button opens them), patch notes for every update, and reading every review. Balance changes are tested against player reports.”

About This Game

Ashplate is a single-player roguelike deckbuilder painted in ash and ember.

They were the Emperor's sworn guard. A traitor killed him and stole his throne, and now his army hunts the Fallen Kiln. Choose your path across a branching map, fight with cards, and build a different deck every run on the road back to the throne.

Survivors with their own style. The Kilnborn sets every foe he strikes burning. The Skirmisher, a crystal duelist, slips blows and strikes back. More survivors join in later updates.

Monsters that fight back. Each creature has its own trick: heads that must be silenced, venom that seeps through Block, a duel you must open with an Attack. Read their intents, then plan your turn.

Build beyond your deck. Over 150 cards to draft, trinkets in two slots, artifacts that last the whole run, boons from strange rooms, and Gems to spend at the merchant.

A painted world. Cross the Drowned Mire and the Moonlit Hunting Grounds, each with its own elites and a boss waiting at the end. The Underbarrow follows in a later update.

In Early Access: Acts I and II are ready now with both survivors. Act III and more arrive in updates.
