main game 9/10 DLC 8/10 - point deduction for lazy map- & story-making and lack of content (only two new knights) - this might change in future updates, in which case I'd gladly give it a 9 or 10 Gives me a ton of d1 & d2 vibes, which is very refreshing at an age where most games seem to be shameless cash-grabs. - you can play this game over and over again (even takes some runs to really get into it) - you can play co-op as up to 4 - simple but not stale - micro-transaction free, no loot-chests (except Mimic King I guess) Some tweaks (e.g. boss mechanics, randomization of the worlds...) and this game would be a 10.

It's a very well-designed game. Pros: - Coop up to 4 players, which is one of the best things for a rogue-lite game - Good variety of abilities and weapons. - Good level and enemy design. - Challenging bosses. - Good replayability - Nice permanent upgrade mechanism (spells, weapons and statuses) Cons: - Low variety of Spells/abilities combination (to be fair, I don't think this takes away the fun of the game) - Unblocked weapons are not that good (or at least I couldn't make it work as well as the initial sword) - Some of the unblocked content doesn't actually change in anything in the game, at least not at the point I'm right now in the game - There isn't a status for attack speed (to me, it would make it even more fun if it had it) In summary, Rogue-li(k/t)e games are my favorite and this is the one that got me the most. I'm a 34 y/o and I played this game for 8 consecutive hours in a single session with 2 other friends, and for sure we'll play more.

Simply put, Ember Knights is one of the most well-rounded roguelites out there. While I can't say any singular aspect of the game jumps out as being particularly unique or groundbreaking, nearly every facet is executed so well that it doesn't really matter. Combat is fast, buildcraft is satisfying, and, perhaps above all, the pace of progression unlocks is simply superb - it feels like the game gives you a fun new toy to try out after nearly every run, prompting you to dive right back in. Balance isn't perfect (some strong healing items are centralizing, and the hammer weapon is noticeably undertuned), but everything works well enough to feel viable. Winning and losing alike feel like the consequence of player choice during a run. I'd easily recommend Ember Knights to any roguelite or action game fan. It's just a really enjoyable experience overall, one of those rare games that's more than the sum of its parts. Ember Knights is not quite as good as the S-tier games in the genre, like Hades or Risk of Rain 2, simply because it doesn't push the boundaries of the genre like those games did. However, Ember Knights is a very solid A-tier game that belongs in every roguelite fan's collection. I've had a great time playing and am very much looking forward to the upcoming DLC!

Super fun game to play alone, but way better with friends. Very fast paced gameplay that can be tuned to be very challenging. Progressively unlock all kinds of options to expand on the gameplay and tune your character to play the way you'd like. Great game.

Incredible. I was introduced and taught this game by a good friend of mine and was instantly hooked despite my heresay. Fate be told, I was addicted from the second I completed our first run (in the beta). This game has proved time and time again to be extremely replayable and I enjoyed every moment perfecting builds and trying to unlock everything. This game is very well made and it is shown in the years that have passed playing it, that the devs dedicate so much of their blood, sweat and tears into this game. I cant wait to see what comes next in future updates, and how they see the rouge-like system to be perfected. Side note: scythe is king, and I love my friend Dan for introducing this game to me.
