What players say

Players describe Drowning Ashes as a mix of Pokemon-style creature collection and Souls-like difficulty, with turn-based combat and a press-turn system. The game is challenging but fair when you learn the mechanics, though there is no tutorial. In early access, the story is unfinished but already compelling, and the developer is updating regularly.
