This game is a breath of fresh air. I have played so many MMOs and they all seem like variations on the same thing. Stash is really unique and brings some cool new ideas. Turn based combat is what jumps right out. You have time to plan and think and I really like that. Your house (called your BOO or base of operations) is quite impressive. I can already see that this feature is incredibly deep and I will put a lot of time into making my BOO killer. A number of people have mentioned the community and I thought that was bs but then I got in game and they were right. The people in game are great and the devs are very open and honest and clearly care about this game a lot. It is indeed early access so nothing is perfect but i can tell the rough edges will get dealt with and this is already a lot of fun.

About This Game
NOTE: As is very common for MMORPGs, you will have to create an account to play. You do not login with your Steam account. That is the only way we can provide full support for our customers.
Stash's core features include:
- Turn based combat on a tactical grid.
- Great Community: The most incredible thing about Frogdice and all of our games is the community. Our players are a major reason our games are so special and their passion and love for our game world is part of a sacred trust we cherish.
- Housing as a core feature. Your Base of Operations (BOO) starts as a humble bedroll and can be built and customized into a mighty fortress where you stash your loot.
- Dungeons: Shared world dungeons and private instanced dungeons for your dungeon crawling cravings.
- Character customization via class, race, build, gear, cosmetics, costumes, pets, mounts, and more.
- Crafting: Use, sell, trade, or enter items into competitions. Be a full time crafter or merchant.
- Exploration: A huge world for you to discover with hundreds of unique locations.
- Awesome world story with a unique twist. Players affect this story and the entire world profoundly. Our staff runs world events and plot lines.
- Clans: Join with friends and compete for dominance.
- Loot: Tons and tons of loot, and with rare exceptions we don’t do bind on pickup/equip.
- PvP: In Development: Group and solo leaderboards. Dueling. Clan wars and battles.
Things About Stash You Will Either Love... or Hate
Stash is a very unique game that is not your typical MMO. Is it the dream game you've been waiting years for or the complete opposite? Review this list carefully as we do not want to waste anyone's time with a game not suited to their tastes:
- Stash is a complex, deep game that requires skill, thought, and effort to excel. It also takes time to learn. We do not have a guided tutorial. We have guides, videos, in-game tutorial help screens, and both staff and community volunteers who love helping people. If you prefer games with a 1 hour automatic guided tutorial that teaches you how to play, you may have trouble with Stash.
- Stash embraces the grind. We believe we've made it fun, and it definitely isn't fast. Your accomplishments are meaningful and you won't get passed up if you go on vacation for a week. This goes for combat, crafting, farming, empire building, and pretty much everything.
- Stash is challenging but approachable. You can make Stash easier with dungeon difficulty settings, partying with other players, or simply focusing on easier content. But some battles can be quite difficult with good strategy and tactics heavily rewarded. Fleeing from battle is not easy or guaranteed. If you die after a certain level, there is a death penalty (you do not lose XP, levels, or items, but instead receive a small amount of XP debt - half your earned XP pays off debt until it is gone, but you can still level up and progress even while you have xp debt!).
- Questing is not a big part of Stash. We don't like quest grinds. Stash is more of a sandbox-style game. We have quest-type activities (we call them tasks), but they are not a huge focus of the game. The world is open to you to set your own goals and priorities and we do not tell you what you have to do next.
- Crafting and Merchants are big parts of the game. The best gear in the game is crafted gear, and many systems allow for merchants to play an important role in the economy.
- Your BOO (Base of Operations or house) is a major aspect of character progression. Expanding and upgrading your BOO allows more and faster crafting, more market options, more storage, and more fun. If you love housing then you will probably love Stash.
- Storage and carrying capacity are part of character progression. Unlocking more bag slots, getting better bags, upgrading your stash, upgrading your stall, and other storage options are all aspects of advancing your character. Some people think this is great. Some people think this is tedious. If it sounds tedious, Stash is not for you.
- There is no Auction House. Every player has their own merchant stall and can advertise items in the newspapers (which are divided by item category). Our economy encourages people to build their reputation as a merchant or craftsman. Auction Houses are cool but create race to the bottom pricing that leaves little room for sellers to compete on anything other than price. If you like a market that provides opportunities for full time merchants and market arbitrage, you will enjoy Stash.
- Stash is currently light on story, but that is changing fast. You, as a player, will be a huge part of that. Our studio has run a roleplay required, all text MUD for 21 years. Please trust us that story and lore are near and dear to our heart, and will be a huge part of Stash.
- The World will grow based on player actions. You currently have access to one major capital city, 9 major regions, and 41 dungeons. As the story unfolds, players will open up more of the world. If you prefer an MMO with the entire world available for exploration right away, you might be disappointed. If you like the idea of shaping and unlocking the world as a community, you will be thrilled.
- We have many unique game mechanics rarely or never seen in other MMOs. We have a fresh take on stat training, healing, character customization, gear upgrading, and many other things. If that sounds fun and interesting, Stash is your game.
- Stash has only just begun. We are a small team of passionate, indie devs who want to create a game you can call home for many years to come. If you want to be part of that growth, you will love Stash. If you don't want to be part of that journey, you might want to wait a bit.

No turtorial at all, no pointers at start, so I have no really clue what to do
This game seems very promising with dedicated DEVS and alot of plans up ahead. Such fantastic community too always ready to help. Game might not be for everyone's taste but definately the kind of game for me !
Honestly can't recommend this, if you're interested you're better off playing something like Dofus or Wakfu. The game works well and isn't buggy, but whats there just isn't particularly interesting, and the game doesn't explain itself very well at all, though that could be excused given that It's in early access. This game has a long way to go and is not worth a purchase in It's current state. I also really dont get the decision to keep the grid based movement in the overworld, it feels clunky and out of place, free movement on the world map would be much nicer. I'll revisit the game a couple of months from now and see if this review should be changed.
I love this game, if you ever sat around playing DnD with miniatures this scratches that itch. The devs also seem to truly care about their product which is also a big plus for me, so many games get greenlit and dumped, but not this one.
Eddit: This game is starting to grow on me! Here is a quick start video that I wish was avaialble when I started! Learn how to Rack up Easy EXP and Medallions https://youtu.be/W_woRkVKMik http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=816742232 Have fun!
Great concept but was looking for something with more indepth combat and classes. No positioning, can just move between people, no cover or anything remotely strategic.
Ignore the 1 negative review above, he obviously cant read a wiki that clearly states how to start, anyway onto the review, its early access i will say that right out of the gates there are a few issues but nothing that prevents a fun experience. If you are looking for wow 2 then forget it, however if you are looking for something different, fun and quite refreshing then dive in, i was sceptical when i first logged in but after 10 mins of learning my way around and speaking to the nice community i am starting to love this game, the devs are active in game and the concept is great. For a £10 game its worth every single penny, would recommend +++++
The grindiest game I've ever played in my life. 16 hours to get from 8-9 and it's level cap is 100!!! graphics are meh, not bad but not great still bogs down in some dungeons, graphic settings change nothing so I just run it on fastest. crafting is a pain, if RNJesus doesn't love you, you're not going to get very far. Spent 3 days trying to harvest materials, received a gift of lumber from another player and got to maker lvl6. Next day a chef turned maker was lvl10 >_< Combat is nice, makes me want to play WAKFU again. Pay if you want to support the devs, for now I say avoid unless you're super casual or want a second job with no pay.
There is so much i love about this game. The Devs love to talk with the players and they listen to the players input. It's constantly growing with new features. The player base are willing to help new players and are very friendly. The shop system makes the players feel more like a shopkeep then any other MMO. Tons of humor in the content. Some downsides at the moment. Early Access game: Like all early access games there will be bugs. There is tons of low level content at the moment but it is a slow grind to level past level 10 (lvl 30 max ATM). The BOO's (Base of Operations) are mostly private cosmetic's ATM since others can not see them. (Will become open later.) If you plan on joining keep a eye out for Gragus (my character). I am always willing to help new players find there way around the world.
