Hello Knights!
Today is the day! Ember Knights is finally available in Early Access. You get to start your exploration of the Prime Worlds and begin to fight back against Praxis and his hordes. In this fast-paced, multiplayer rogue-lite experience, you will shape your character according to your tastes in order to defeat increasingly tougher enemies and bosses. Thanks to a combination of skills, relics and gems, can you try out countless builds and synergies, refine your strategies and improve your future runs!
Ember Knights Early Access release content:
- A solo or co-op adventure for up to 4 players.
- The first 3 biomes: Scoggfirth, the Steadfast Citadel, and Wightsbury.
- 22 monsters, many of which with their elite and champion versions.
- Several mini bosses, each with 4 versions per biome (good luck with the Plague Bringer, hehe), and one big area boss per biome.
- The first two weapons: the sword and the bow, and a powerful arsenal consisting of 12 base skills, including “frost wall”, “arcane bolts”, “blast bomb” and “knight’s charge”.
- Over 60 game changing gems and relics, specifically designed to improve the effects of your skills and allow you to develop hundreds of unique builds and synergies.

What's next?
We will continue to add content and improve Ember Knights throughout the Early Access. A new weapon is planned for next month, one we have never shown before! We think you will love it. We also have a busy summer ahead of us, with plenty of exciting additions we can't wait to deliver! Our mid-term release plan is as follows:
Starting Tips
Because we are friendly.
- Use the environment to your advantage, dodge before you strike, kite your enemies and most importantly, prioritize your targets as some of them can spawn even more monsters!
- Your enemies come in several versions of themselves: normal, elites, and champions. Learn their patterns, skills and special moves, and the best way to counter them…
- Slash the relevant elements on the terrain to uncover food and coins, and take your time to grab them, they won't disappear.
- When faced with a choice for the next room, always balance your immediate needs with your long term goals. Health is always helpful, but choosing a relic might be more beneficial in the long run.
- Use your skills appropriately. All skills can (and should) be properly timed to yield devastating results.
- …Cast “Ember fire” on an apple to instantly bake a delicious apple pie! Try it on a chicken drumstick!
