About the Game

The Ashen OZ is a dark fantasy action roguelite set in a twisted, somber fairytale world inspired by The Wizard of Oz.

Wearing bloodstained shoes and wielding a witch’s umbrella as a weapon, players dash, parry, and chain relentless combos as they carve through a dreamlike world shaped by despair and fading memories.

Combat focuses on speed, precision, and tempo.

Perfectly timed parries, rapid dashes, and chained actions reward aggressive play, creating a fast-paced flow that emphasizes mastery and immersion.

Throughout each run, the Ashen Dice system presents meaningful choices.

Each die face grants a distinct ability, allowing players to build synergies and evolve their combat style without ever breaking the momentum of action.
