It’s always exciting to see a new genre fully established, and with the launch of Deck of Ashes into early access today, I feel it’s safe to say that Slay The Spire has carved out a fresh niche. Developed by AYGames, it’s yet another card-slinging, deck-building RPG, this one with a pyromaniacal, slightly Dark Souls-inspired setting, but with less of a roguelike spin than its inspiration. Players explore an open world map, looting, levelling and collecting new cards as they go to build up their bag of flame-themed tricks. See the early access trailer below.
