Gameplay
Gameplay
Of Ash and Steel takes place on an island called the Kingdom of the Seven that has fallen into a state of disrepair. The game has no quest marker system to encourage the player to explore the map. Combat features swords and bows as well as magical elements. The player's abilities can be customized, which changes how he is viewed by non-player characters (NPCs).
Development
Development
Fire & Frost stated that their goal as a studio is to make games inspired by role-playing video games (RPGs) from the 2000s. Head of Fire & Frost Studios, Victor Kondakov, was the lead developer. The game was developed in Unreal Engine 4.
Release
Release

Reception
The game is estimated to have sold 36,500 copies on Steam within the first few days of launch, and netted a gross revenue of $702,000. The active player count on Steam hit a high of 6k in the first week, but has seen a consistent decline over time. The game sits at 28% Critics Recommend status on OpenCritic, and a Mixed or Average Metascore of 57 on Metacritic. Critics have pointed to a sizeable map, a likeable protagonist, and combat that starts off clunky but improves over time as the positives, but with lack of a map and difficulty of navigation as holding back the game from achieving its full potential.
