About Of Ash and Steel
Of Ash and Steel is a new low-fantasy open-world action RPG (released in late 2025) where players explore the fallen Kingdom of the Seven. Developed by indie studio Fire & Frost and published by tinyBuild, the game drops you into a vast island with no hand-holding quest markers – exploration and discovery are key.
Players take on the role of Tristan, a cartographer-turned-adventurer, who must survive harsh landscapes, fight bandits and beasts with swords, bows, and magic, and forge alliances with factions. The game’s core appeal is its old-school approach: navigate by landmarks and clues, manage stamina and combat stances in fights, and make meaningful choices that impact story outcomes.
Since launch, Of Ash and Steel has been praised for its immersive world and depth, though it also earned a reputation for difficulty and a bit of “jank” — true to the classic RPGs that inspired it. The community has created tools like our build calculator, faction guides, and fan-made maps (stay tuned) to help newcomers survive Grayshaft’s challenges. Whether you’re looking for optimal weapon crafting recipes, faction guides, or a spoiler-free map of the realm, this hub provides everything you need to thrive in the world of ash and steel.
