About Spire of Ash
Spire of Ash
A dark-fantasy auto-battler dungeon crawler where strategy is everything. Build your team, forge your gear, and push deeper into an ever-scaling spire — where every decision compounds and every run tells a different story.Inspired by the depth of Path of Exile's crafting, the tactical positioning of TFT-style hex combat, and the endless scaling of Mythic+ dungeons.Assemble Your Heroes
Choose from 36 unique heroes spanning Defensive, Offensive, and Support roles. Each hero brings a distinct identity to the battlefield — tanks that anchor the front line, assassins that exploit positioning, healers that keep your squad alive through impossible odds.Build a 5-man team from your unlocked roster. Composition matters: the right synergies turn a good team into an unstoppable one.144 Skills. Infinite Builds.
Every hero wields a deep toolkit of skills, ultimates, stances, and party buffs. With 144 unique skills across the roster, no two teams play the same way.Watch your squad execute in real-time hex-based combat — positioning, timing, and ability interactions all matter.Gear Up
Equip your heroes with powerful gear enhanced by 42 distinct affixes, each scaling across 8 tiers of power. Chase the perfect rolls. Stack the right stats. Turn a solid hero into a force of nature.Six elemental influences shape your gear's identity — build around fire, ice, lightning, shadow, holy, or poison to amplify your strategy.Deep Crafting
A crafting system built for theorycrafters. With 290 crafting currencies, you have granular control over every piece of equipment. Reforge, augment, and fine-tune your gear to exact specifications.This isn't random-and-pray crafting — it's a system that rewards knowledge and planning.Aether Cards
Collect and build decks from 988 Aether cards across 3 types and 4 rarities. Cards provide powerful passive bonuses and build-defining effects that reshape how your team fights.Rip open booster packs to expand your collection. Chase rare cards that unlock entirely new strategies.Dungeon Runs
The core of Spire of Ash. Push through procedurally challenging dungeon floors, fighting enemy packs and collecting loot along the way. Every run scales with infinite key levels — the deeper you go, the harder it gets, and the better the rewards.Dynamic affixes modify each run, forcing you to adapt your strategy on the fly.Loot That Matters
Every enemy pack is a chance at meaningful drops. Gear, crafting materials, Aether cards, and currencies flow through a loot system designed to keep every run rewarding — whether you're on key level 1 or key level 100.Four Game Modes
- Dungeon Clear — Push through floors of enemies and bosses. The classic dungeon crawl, endlessly scaling.- Boss Rush — Skip the trash. Face a gauntlet of bosses back-to-back.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
vibe coded ai trash that manages to rips off artistic assets from other games (most of the art of straight ripped from POE with some ai modifications). no tutorial, no explanation, very confusing. I can recruit the same character 15 times with the same name?? I cannot recommend this game at all. Also, the developer aka Clushiy is toxic individual who likes raging at people at online and calling them slurs. this is what you call soulless AI garbage3 found this helpful
this is some crazy chromium wrapper with a "game" inside it. it masquerades as a free to play game, but upon launch the word DEMO is everywhere and it mentions you have to buy the full game? That's the DLC listed here. With this being a chromium wrapper there are constant json, js, and other web-language errors you could expect from someone's first foray into vibe-coding with Gemini (derogatory). Most "art" in the game is bad AI Slop. It is an auto-battler, not a dungeon crawler nor tactical combat. The sprites for all heroes appear to be the same, Then you get to the worst part, itemization. Every character is picking up gear. Gear drops at level one are reminiscent of end game Path of Exile or Last Epoch. You need to learn the item filter system asap otherwise you're just playing inventory management simulator. Overall 0/10.3 found this helpful
Update game is unplayable currently with almost no word from the dev. Not sure if you can still play the demo or not but i wouldnt be tricked into buying this until the rerelease. Hoping for better :) Great game its not really free though but its worth the 8 bucks. Its not perfect which is why all the negative reviews but there is alot of interactions and theory crafting . Dont expect perfection treat it as a beta and you will have fun. I got 1st place on ruthless hardcore leaderboards but its so slow to push further(it needs optimization) I just quit. Also the leaderboards are mostly just the best players names over and over because its not limited to 1 entry per name. The dev claims to be working on massive update so im excited for the future. Update game is unplayable currently with almost no word from the dev. Not sure if you can still play the demo or not but i wouldnt be tricked into buying this until the rerelease. Hoping for better :)
First common in 10 year steam. I dream for this game when I played POE. 真的期待了有十年之久的游戏,我已经电子阳痿了,ED了靠他治好了。 五星好评哦。真的是太好了,能活着玩到这款游戏。找到很多手游原来到头来才发现就是差这款游戏。
I don't usually review games but this game is an absolute gem. 10/10
+Free +Music +Player choice +Certainly possible builds etc, but... -Utter grind that doesn't feel good -Difficult to read UX/UI; especially on 4k - even with max 150% scale -Idle/roguelite really -> not my cup of tea. = Neutral review still, after all it's free. As I wouldn't recommend such game for myself, I won't do it to you either.
