⚔️ ASHVEIL

A dark-fantasy action RPG of ash, frost, and fury.

The realm of Ashveil has gone quiet in the worst way. The dead shamble through the Twisted Fields, the great forges of Emberfall burn untended, and something ancient stirs beneath the Frostveil ice. There is no chosen one coming to save it.

There's just you, a rusty blade or a cracked staff, and the long road from the village gate to whatever is waiting at the bottom of the deepest dungeon.

Ashveil is a top-down action RPG in the classic loot-and-grind tradition — kill, loot, upgrade, descend, repeat — wrapped in a brooding, hand-built world.

🗡️ Choose Your Path

Warrior — A martial bruiser who runs on Rage, built by trading blows in melee. No mana to babysit: wade in, charge the enemy line, and unleash Empowered Strikes, Whirlwinds, and Executes as your fury climbs.

Mage — A glass-cannon spellcaster wielding fire, frost, and arcane force. Blink through danger, freeze packs in place with Frost Nova, and call down meteors on what's left.

Each class has its own skill tree, learned from trainers and unlocked with gold and levels — so two characters of the same class can still feel different.

✨ Features

• Diablo-style loot — items roll across seven rarities (Trash → Master) with random prefix/suffix affixes. Gear you find is gear no one else found.
• Tetris-grid inventory — rotate and arrange items to make everything fit, and compare an upgrade against your equipped piece side-by-side.
• Visible gear — your weapons and armor show up on your character.
• A living world — a seamless overworld of haunted fields, swamps, ember roads, and frozen wastes, plus handcrafted dungeons with unique bosses.
• Roaming rare elites — tougher, glowing, uniquely-named foes prowl each zone for the brave (or greedy).
• Professions — mine ore, smelt and forge weapons, chop wood, fish, and cook food at themed crafting stations, with crafting that scales as your skill grows.
• A village to call home — vendors, a stash, trainers, and quest-givers between runs.
• Customizable hotbar — rebind your ability keys and click to cast.
