Themes from a helpfulness-selected sample of Steam reviews, not the aggregate Steam score.
You play as one of the Ember Knights, warriors pursuing the sorcerer Praxis after he drains the Ember Tree and corrupts four Prime Worlds. Fight through those worlds and their enemies to restore the tree's energy.
Combat takes place in action-filled rooms against groups of enemies, elites, and bosses. Chain attacks, time weapon swings, and dodge, counter, or stun foes as you progress through each run.
Choose from distinct weapons and their modifications, skills, and relics to shape a build during a run. Death feeds into persistent Ember Tree upgrades, while Daily Dungeon, Boss Rush, and Chaos Run modes offer additional ways to play; runs support solo play or co-op for up to four players.
Players often praise the co-op, especially playing with friends or family, and enjoy experimenting with weapon, skill, and relic combinations. Reviews also highlight satisfying progression and quick, responsive combat. Some players find runs repetitive after extended play, and a few report that busy effects can make combat harder to read.
In this fast-paced action rogue-lite, play as Ember Knights, the last spark of hope of a universe in turmoil. Praxis, the mad sorcerer, has syphoned the life out of the Ember Tree and fled through the four Prime Worlds spreading corruption in his path.
In solo or co-op (up to 4 players), use powerful weapons and skills to hack and slash deadly hordes, defeat epic bosses, free the decaying Prime Worlds and restore energy to the Ember Tree!
Legendary warriors, the Ember Knights, are skilled in the wielding of the universe's most powerful weapons, each with their own modification system! However, the sword doesn’t make the knight… Through action-packed combat rooms, you’ll need to chain your attacks and perfectly time your swings to unleash fiery attacks.
Agile and fearless, use your pace and dodge to outsmart, counter, and stun your enemies!
With 7 distinct weapons, 9 modifications per weapon, 20 skills, and well over 100 relics, there are hundreds of deadly builds to create.
From a fire spreading scythe wielder to a relentless damage resistant spellcaster to a poison spreading archer with summons, forge your own build during your runs.
In co-op, coordinate with your friends to set up combos and synergies between your playstyles.
Beasts, specters, sorcerers, mechanized amphibians, and creatures of all sorts… Fight over 60 unique monsters and variations each with their own unique attacks and behaviors.
In addition, be prepared to face challenging Elites and Champions; the most resistant and deadliest versions of Praxis’ devoted minions. You will have to adapt your playstyle to each encounter and learn from your mistakes if you wish to succeed.
The real challenge for the legendary Knights will lie in the epic bosses and their corrupted variations. From the Royal Phalanx to the Plague Bringer, Praxis will summon anything in his power to stop you.
Try different builds, upgrade your Ember Tree, and don't fear death. Persistence will be your key to victory!
