About this game

Developer description

Quoted from the Steam store page. Read the full description

Cinderwake is an isometric hack-and-slash action RPG in the old style: click to move, click to kill, pick up what the dead leave behind. The fire that warmed the kingdom now burns it. The Cinder Matron calls her ashlings in the cathedral, a buried king wakes under the glass dunes, and the drowned abbey rings its bell at night. High on the Frostspine, a stair of ice climbs to the sky. Five heroes go where the ash falls thickest.Five classes Arcanist: fire, frost and storm that answer each other. Mix the elements and they resonate: Frozen Maw, Flame Wave, Eye of the Storm. Ravager: a hooded headsman who fights on rage, not mana. Chain crushing blows, drag foes in with hooks and shackles, take the heads of the weak. A great axe, or a weapon in each hand. Huntress: marks her prey, coats her arrows in ember, rime or venom oil, sets traps, and hunts with an Ash Bear that grows with her, or becomes the bear herself. Gravecaller: hexes that spread from foe to foe, risen bones and a Grave Lord, bound spirits, and offerings that turn the dead into power.…

“Early Access Review Great riff on the classic D2 formula. Modern QoL with pet for selling excess inventory and controller support. Seems like a good amount of content at launch with more to come. Not to mention it’s $10 at full price.”

“Early Access Review Cinderwake is one of those games where you can genuinely feel the passion behind its development. Rather than another soulless project chasing the latest trends, this feels like a game being built by people who genuinely love what they do. What makes it particularly interesting is its p…”

“Early Access Review A great game so far. Has 4 acts, which are finished off with a big boss battle at the end of each. You can get through them in about 5hrs or so, but then there is an endless dungeon grind at the end. The gear and upgrades you get along the way are satisfying and feels good as you slowly…”
