Get personalized picks →Of Ash and Steel is a challenging action RPG set on the decaying island of the Kingdom of the Seven, where players navigate a dark fantasy world without modern conveniences. The 2025 release features an extensive character-progression system built around crafting mechanics that grant substantial stacking bonuses, complemented by grounded combat using three distinct damage types.

Published by tinyBuild and developed by Fire & Frost, the solo-only experience has received mixed reviews with 57% positive feedback from 1,297 Steam users, and it is not currently supported on Steam Deck.
