Games Like Ultima Cenere

You are the last flame in a world of ash.

Italy is over. What remains are gutted basilicas, highways swallowed by olive trees, concrete suburbs eaten by dust. You walk toward the last enclave — and to reach it, you'll have to give up pieces of yourself, one painful choice at a time. Ultima Cenere is a turn-based roguelike deckbuilder where every run transforms your character. It isn't a game about getting stronger. It's a game about what you're willing to lose to survive.

Every run transforms you

Four ways to refuse to give in

A world with weight

Turn-based combat with drag-and-arrow targeting, cumulative bleed, blocks, dodges, and enemies with unique signature abilities. A map that regenerates every run — fights, elites, events, ambushes, merchants — and the tunnels of the Dead Line between acts. Nothing is free. Every choice leaves a mark.

The ethics of the game

Just a game that asks you one thing: how much of yourself are you willing to leave in the ash?

Made by one person

Ultima Cenere is built by a single Italian designer, at night, with AI as a working companion. Every mechanical and narrative choice remains his. It's a small game, made with care, trying to say something about loss. Wishlist it to know when the ash catches fire.
