Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0/day in the week to Sep 14 → 0/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
"Dawn of the Ashen Queen" is a classic grid-based, first-person dungeon crawler reminiscent of 90s RPG games. Set out with your party to reveal the legacy of a millennia-old curse in a narrative-rich experience. Explore the colorful world of Eshavon, unearth its many secrets and fight dangerous foes sent out to stop you on your mission.
Three years have passed since Eshavon was devastated during the Grand War. A shaky truce has been concluded between the Darok tribes from the north and the Imperial Kingdom south of the Blistering Mountains. As an Emissary of the Grand Marshal, you are spreading his will, tasked with overseeing the reconstruction.
But as you visit one of the border towns, a surprise attack devastates the city and cuts you off from the rest of the empire. Together with a band of unlikely allies coming to your aid, it is now upon you to avert the danger to the empire and uncover a plot that threatens not just your earthly kingdom but the very existence of the entire continent itself.
In-depth RPG character creation with multiple races, classes and traits, a point-based ability system and several class-based skill trees.
3 NPCs join your party throughout the game, all with their own personality.
Fleshed-out narrative driven gameplay with text-based cutscenes, dialogues and party banter bringing life to the world and let you experience an immersive story with twists and turns.
Plenty of secrets wait for you to get discovered: secret doors, illusionary walls and puzzles to test your wits. But beware of devious traps, which lure careless explorers into their death.
Real-time based combat where you fight your foes with a wide array of sharp weapons, powerful spells and cunning abilities.
Explore the diverse world of Eshavon: Travel through lush forests, deep dark caverns, blistering ice mountains, mysterious crypts, fog-covered woods, ancient halls of a long-forgotten race and plenty of other colorful environments.

Game is jank
Great nostalgic fun reminiscent of Dungeon Master, Eye of the Beholder, grid based dungeons. Good puzzles, creatures, and artwork. Wish there were more games like this.
I like this game very good :) The only down part is the game has no Editor. It would be nice to have one :)

Scorrevole e divertente! Chi ama il genere lo deve prendere. Certo non è un capolavoro, ma nell'insieme vale il prezzo. A gioco terminato si può dire che la grafica è buona, l'interfaccia mi è piaciuta a parte il fatto che non ci sono dei tasti veloci per pozioni e altro da usare al volo. Non ho scoperto molti segreti ma il problema è che se me lo dici alla fine del gioco è difficile capire quali ti sono sfuggiti, forse sarebbe meglio come in molte altre avventure mettere il numero di segreti per livello. Altra pecca è la mancanza della lingua italiana, infatti i dialoghi sono prolissi e con uno slang molto complesso che alla fine si capisce ma certo limita il godimento dei dettagli. Spero facciano un seguito con l'italiano!
Dawn of the Ashen Queen ist eine großartige Hommage an klassische Dungeon-Crawler wie Eye of the Beholder und Lands of Lore. Das Spiel kombiniert nostalgische, rasterbasierte Erkundung mit modernen Design-Elementen und bietet eine lebendige, detailreiche Welt. Das Charaktererstellungssystem ist tiefgreifend und erlaubt es, den eigenen Startcharakter individuell anzupassen, während das erzählerisch getriebene Gameplay mit seinen zukünftigen Begleitern dich in die spannende Geschichte von Eshavon eintauchen lässt. Der Echtzeitkampf ist fordernd und bietet mit immer neuen Zaubern und Waffen beim Levelaufstieg viel Abwechslung. Besonders hervorzuheben ist das Level-Design – Rätsel, Geheimgänge und Fallen sind durchdacht gestaltet, und jede Umgebung, von üppigen Wäldern bis hin zu alten Krypten, ist visuell ziemlich beeindruckend für ein so kleines Entwickler-Studio. Die Liebe zum Detail, sei es bei den Gegenständen oder den Effekten der Zauber, unterstreicht die Leidenschaft des Entwicklers. Obwohl es kleinere Schwächen gibt, wie zum Beispiel stellenweise zu simple Gegner-KI, die nicht gemeinsam angreift, wird das Spielerlebnis dadurch kaum getrübt. Für Fans von storylastigen Rollenspielen mit einem klassischen Flair ist Dawn of the Ashen Queen ein absolutes Muss. Ich habe mich gefühlt, wie in einem modernen Lands Of Lore und auch ein besonders "trockener" Charakter, hat mich mit seiner "Meisterdieb"-Attitüde bisher außerordentlich amüsiert. ;) Habe das Spiel noch nicht komplett durch, aber kann es jetzt schon wärmstens empfehlen!
Lovely old school dungeon crawler with a linear set of small dungeons. Pretty, with each dungeon having its own visual style, and gentle enough on puzzles.
感谢B站通关大神的视频,不然真的开局劝退
Zacznę od tego że lubię RPG na siatce. Zaczynałem od takich hitów jak "Lands of Lore" czy "Anvil of Dawn". Ograłem większość z tytułów z tego gatunku, więc mam punkt porównania. W "Dawn of the Ashen Queen" gra się dobrze. W sumie im dalej tym ciekawiej. Rozwój postaci wciąga, zagadki robią się wymagające, zróżnicowane środowisko. Jak na razie najsłabszą stroną jest ścieżka dźwiękowa. Brak jakichkolwiek czytanych dialogów sprawia, że imersja pada przy ciut za długich dialogach. Na razie tyle, wracam do gry :) P.S. Świetne użycie DCT, pozdro dla Knute'a!
Well made dungeon crawler :) I need more
This game came as a very pleasant suprise, I really enjoyed it, if you like grid crawlers than you really cant go wrong with this one, reminded me of the Grimrock games, basic combat but that was okay for me, by the time I had got thru the ancient halls I really felt like i had been on an epic journey, some tough battles at times but a real sense of victory when i finally defeated them. lots of different dungeons and outdoor areas as well. I look forward to see what next he will be bringing out.
