A dark choice-driven RPG where moral decisions shape your path. Face a brutal island torn by plague, hunger, and a growing orc threat. Pick a faction, hone your skills, battle unique bosses, and fight for a future worth paying for.
Ashes of Kardoria
SteamAshes of Kardoria is a dark, choice-driven RPG where moral decisions shape your path. This isn’t a story about being a hero — there are no “good” answers, only consequences. As plague spreads and supplies run thin, tensions build toward a faction war, and the Orc threat grows stronger by the day.
You’ll eventually be forced to choose a side: the Guards or the Hunters. Your faction choice gives you a distinct path of progression, training, and access to gear — pulling you deeper into a conflict that can’t be avoided.
Build your character around multiple combat paths: one-handed weapons, two-handed weapons, or one-handed + shield, with the option to fight at range using a bow. Prepare for the worst with alchemy — potions and brews can give you the edge when a single mistake can be fatal. Push into the island’s deadliest zones and take on several unique bosses, each demanding a different approach.
