I’m very happy to share that Ashikai reached 1,500 wishlists in its first month on Steam.
Seeing people find the game, wishlist it, talk about it, and sign up for the early playtest has been really exciting.Over the next two weeks, we’ll start sending early playtest keys to registered players but you can still sign up over here. We’re looking forward to getting the first real feedback on the combat, pacing, loot, skills, and the overall feel of the game.Thank you so much for the support so far. Ashikai is still early, but this is a huge step forward.
