About the Game

The night the kingdom fell, you alone survived. From the ashes of a broken throne, forge a deck, master the elements, and march back into the dark to face the Lord of Shadows.

**Kingdom of Ashes** is a single-player roguelike deck-builder where every run is a desperate climb through a procedurally woven map of battles, elites, shrines, mysteries, and bosses. Draft cards, stack relics, chain resonances, and bend each encounter to your will — or be unmade by it.

### Key Features

- **Roguelike Deck-Building** — Start with a fragile hand, end with a tuned engine. Every battle adds, upgrades, or culls cards. No two decks are alike.

- **Eight Fallen Heroes** — Unlock a roster of survivors, each with a unique starting deck, signature mechanic, and trait perks that evolve through Mastery levels.

- **Elemental Resonance** — Play three cards of the same element in a single turn to trigger Resonance. Diversify with the Runecaster's Rune Chain to unlock escalating bonuses across 3, 4, 5, and 6 unique elements.

- **Procedural Run Maps** — Branching paths across 12 rows, with rare map variants like Diamond, Twin Spire, Crossroads, Skull Alley, and River. Choose your route: safe grind or high-risk gauntlet.

- **Living Encounter Nodes** — Battles, Elites, Bosses, Shops, Rests, Treasures, Shrines, Mysteries, Echoes, Mimics, and Gauntlets each twist a run in different directions.

- **Persistent Meta-Progression** — Earn Ash from every run. Spend it at the Forge to permanently upgrade your arsenal, unlock new heroes, and stockpile advantages for the next descent.

- **Ascension Tiers** — Beat the game, then climb harder. Each Ascension layer reshapes encounters, enemies, and economy for veterans hungry for pain.

- **Relic Codex** — Discover and catalog dozens of relics, each with stacking interactions that reward clever deck synergy.

- **Localized in 10 Languages** — English, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Vietnamese.

### Built for One More Run

Tight runs. Hand-tuned encounters. A soundtrack of ember and ruin. Lose, learn, forge, return. The kingdom is ash — but the crown is still down there, waiting.
