What is Ash of Gods: The Way?

This single-player dark-fantasy game combines deckbuilding with tactical card battles. As Finn, you enter tournaments in a neighboring nation to try to prevent an attack on your home. You build decks of warriors, equipment, and spells for battles with different objectives and rules; dialogue choices and defeats in key battles can change the story.

Not for you if...
