๐ŸŒ‘ What is Cinderia?

Cinderia (็ฐ็ƒฌไน‹ๅ›ฝ) is a 2.5D dark fantasy action roguelite developed by MyACG Studio and published by NPC Entertainment. It launched into Steam Early Access on March 30, 2026, following a highly-rated demo period.

The game draws heavy inspiration from Hades and action-oriented roguelites, but carves its own identity through its Ember Fusion build system, an enormous skill pool of 100+ actives, and a visually striking hand-drawn dark fantasy art style. Each run lasts roughly 30โ€“60 minutes depending on skill level and build efficiency.

Combat flows through basic attack chains, energy-spending active skills, and dash-triggered passive procs. The Erosion mechanic adds tension to every upgrade choice: powerful options fill your corruption meter, and exceeding the threshold grants a permanent Curse for that run. This risk-reward balance separates casual runs from optimized Cinderia builds.

The hub village between runs lets you invest earned resources into permanent meta-progression โ€” increasing your max HP, gaining extra dash charges, unlocking revival chances, and constructing hub buildings that expand your options. This mirrors the feel of Hades' Underworld meta-layer but with a distinctly Asian RPG flavor.

Cinderia's Early Access roadmap promises 6โ€“15 months of active development, with planned additions including new characters, chapters 6 and beyond, additional equipment pieces, and quality-of-life improvements based on community feedback. The developer, MyACG Studio, has been notably responsive in the Steam forums and Discord community.

โ“ Cinderia FAQ โ€” Common Questions

What is Cinderia? ๏ผ‹
Cinderia (็ฐ็ƒฌไน‹ๅ›ฝ) is a 2.5D dark fantasy action roguelite developed by MyACG Studio. You play as one of 4 characters battling through procedurally varied rooms, combining 100+ active skills, 500+ upgrades, and 130+ equipment pieces to build a unique combat style each run. It launched into Steam Early Access on March 30, 2026.
How many characters are in Cinderia? ๏ผ‹
Cinderia currently has 4 playable characters in Early Access: Rue (Shadow Assassin, starting character), Valkyrie (Dragon Knight), Forest Princess (Summoner), and a 4th character not yet revealed. Each has a unique skill pool, combat identity, and playstyle.
How do I unlock new characters in Cinderia? ๏ผ‹
Characters are unlocked through hub meta-progression. Rue is available from the start. The Valkyrie unlocks after completing Chapter 1. The Forest Princess unlocks after defeating the Chapter 2 boss. Collect Stones on each run to accelerate hub upgrades and unlock content faster.
What is Erosion in Cinderia? ๏ผ‹
Erosion is a corruption meter that fills as you acquire powerful skills and equipment during a run. Once it reaches a threshold, you receive a Curse โ€” a permanent run debuff such as 'Deal less damage to further enemies' or 'Enemy count +12%'. Use Purify rooms to remove a curse if the run offers one.
What is the Ember Fusion system? ๏ผ‹
Ember Fusion is Cinderia's core build mechanic โ€” combining ember-type resources with spellcards to generate unique skill effects and synergies. It's the heart of the game's build expression system, allowing highly creative combinations if you can control the RNG through smart room choices.
How many bosses does Cinderia have in Early Access? ๏ผ‹
Cinderia's Early Access launch features approximately 8 bosses across 5 chapters. This is expected to expand significantly during the 6โ€“15 month Early Access period as MyACG Studio adds more content.
Is Cinderia hard? What difficulty modes are available? ๏ผ‹
Cinderia is moderately difficult for new players, particularly at bosses. There is no formal difficulty selector โ€” challenge scales naturally as you progress through chapters. Meta-progression upgrades (max HP, extra dashes, revive chances) make later runs easier.
How does meta-progression work in Cinderia? ๏ผ‹
Between runs, visit the hub village. Interact with the Nun (goddess NPC) to spend Soulfire candles on permanent blessings: max HP increases, unlock extra dashes, enable revival chances, and boost boss damage. The Craftsman NPC uses Stones (collected in runs) to unlock the library, statue, and other hub structures.
What languages does Cinderia support? ๏ผ‹
Cinderia supports 11 languages: English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, German, Spanish (Spain), Italian, Russian, and Portuguese (Brazil).
Is Cinderia coming to console or mobile? ๏ผ‹
Cinderia is currently PC-only (Windows via Steam) in Early Access. No console or mobile announcement has been made as of the March 2026 launch.
