Oath & Ash (Eid & Asche) is a turn-based fantasy card game with detailed art, animated hero portraits and punchy battle sound. It is fully playable with VoiceOver. Every card, every enemy move and every result is announced, and nothing is ever timed. THREE HEROES, THREE WAYS TO PLAY The Knight holds the line with armor, guard and counterattacks. The Hunter sets traps, spreads poison and outlasts the enemy. The Mage controls the flow of cards with chains and frost. The Hunter unlocks after Act I, the Mage after Act II. Each hero has their own cards, deck and progress. THREE ACTS Walk the Thorn Path, cross the Ashlands and brave the Sand Sea. Each act has ten encounters, its own enemies and boss fights. Enemies show their next move before they make it, so you can plan ahead. Losing costs you no progress. Change your deck and try again. COLLECT AND UPGRADE Win cards in battle or open card boxes with three random cards. The app shows the odds for each rarity before you open a box. Salvage duplicates for Dust and use it to upgrade your favorite cards. Your deck is yours to build. SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY Check the Daily tab for a new challenge each day, with its own rules and rewards. EXPEDITIONS Set out with a small deck and build it as you go. Three legs, each a map with branching paths to fights, rests, merchants and events, and a boss at the end. Relics give you lasting advantages, and your health carries over from fight to fight. In the weekly Expedition everyone plays the same map, and the top places in the ranking win weekly prizes. THE SEASON PATH Wins, duels and daily battles earn you embers to climb the Season Path: 40 levels of Dust, Diamonds, card boxes, titles, card backs, frames, avatars and victory lines. New looks arrive every month. The Path Letter opens a second track with more rewards. THE ARENA Duel the saved defense decks of real players. You play your turns, the game plays theirs. There is no turn timer, and every deck fights with its real card levels, so deckbuilding and tactics decide. If no player is a good match, a clearly labeled Arena Guardian steps in for half points. Climb from Starter through Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum to Diamond. Each season lasts one month, and the ranking shows your display name and avatar. Challenge friends to friendly duels with an invite link, and every profile shows league, heroes and collection. BUILT FOR VOICEOVER • Every value, card text and enemy intent is spoken • No time pressure, in the acts or in the Arena • Battle log with one heading per round for quick navigation • Narrator Helmut guides you in English and German • Every enemy has a voice of its own, and every boss its own music and entrance • You can hear when it's your turn, how hard a hit landed and when your health runs low • Settings, Learn the sounds lets you hear every sound and what it means • Support for larger text, reduced motion and haptic feedback GOOD TO KNOW Your progress is saved to your iCloud account, so you need to be signed in to iCloud on your device. Battles, Expeditions and the Arena need an internet connection. Your collection and the tutorial also work offline. Diamonds and the Path Letter are optional in-app purchases. There are no ads.

On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Oath & Ash holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Oath & Ash has 36 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Tiny Crawler's written reviews are positive against 87% of Oath & Ash's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Tiny Crawler ships an update every 2 months, Oath & Ash daily. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
