Dec. 2024
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.

Ember Knights is a stellar rogue-like experience. Just like Hades, progression between runs feels rewarding and fun. Though the story has much to be desired, Ember Knights has an array of choices based on your play style. The weapons and their modifiers exemplify player choice and replayability. Each weapon feels unique, and even more so with the modifiers. This comes from a single-player experience, and one can only imagine the possibilities of a full squad. The soul's system feels a little grindy, but with up to 30 perks to choose from, each player can choose the bonuses that best fit their play style. From greedy to safe, from proactive to reactive, there is genuinely a lot of variety. However, there is little reason to change from your usual choices. When you finish the ember tree using the soul system, there is a safety net for using up your excess souls: Arlan's shop. It allows players to start off with a relic for a run. It makes the soul system worthwhile; compared to Hades, this system is superior. Relics and skills consistently increase in option the more you play, each new unlock giving you the sense of "Oh, I wonder how I can use this". And with so many relics, you always feel like there's some new feature around the corner. The elephant in the room: The Skill Tablets. Where weapon modifiers succeed, the skill tablets fail. It feels pointless to upgrade them as you're never guaranteed to get a skill. They cost the same currency as weapon modifiers, so they're just left behind, and unlike the weapon modifiers, the upgrades are linear and do not impact the skills in any major way. Cosmetic customisation is excellent. Daily Runs. WOHOOO! They hit the nail on the head with this one. Competing with others over the best time on the daily with worthwhile soul rewards and cosmetics keeps early-game players engaged and provides a mix-up with the typical dungeon run. The difficulty modifiers give a great way to spice up gameplay when you and your team are breezing through the game. However, there needs to be more incentive to go past 15 energy. I would have liked to have seen more currencies affected by the difficulty modifier without a max energy cap, so there's always a reason to go for more challenging runs. Doom Turtle made something absolutely amazing, and I am truly thankful to have experienced such a fantastic game.

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.
