What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Over the past few months, I've received tremendous help from player feedback and suggestions on the demo! Early Access allows me to continue developing in this pattern, making modifications based on player input while completing the remaining content. I believe this will make Emberward a fantastic game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The overall duration will depend on player feedback and the development status. Currently, the plan is to complete the final version within six to twelve months.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version of Emberward will feature more maps, towers, and Roguelite elements. Besides that, I'm planning to add different modes and quality of life improvements based on player feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“At the launch of Early Access, players can fully experience the first two world maps and have access to 26 types of towers, 40 artifacts, and various runes, enhancements, and block cards. Also, tower upgrades and character/fire source selections that weren’t available in the demo are now open.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes. The price will be increased in proportion to the new content added to the game.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Please join the Emberward Discord server! I will continue to update the development progress and discuss it with players. Feel free to jump in and participate in the development of Emberward!”

About This Game

  • Build a maze before the battle begins! Be creative and find the best setup with the block cards in your hand.

  • Make good use of your limited wall blocks! Will you make the monsters take a longer route, or will you use the blocks to position your towers more strategically?

  • After the battle, add various runes to the block cards! Runes can enhance your towers, grant blocks special abilities, or even double their size!

    • Tower with various sizes: 1x3? 2x2? 3x3? Building powerful towers requires careful planning!

    • Poison Towers that Span Monster Paths: Instead of shooting, we pour poison directly on the enemies' heads!

    • Drone Towers that Track Enemies: Why wait for enemies to come? Attack is the best form of defence!

    • D20 Towers that Test Your Luck: Higher number equals higher damage! (And yes, there's the infamous CRITICAL FAILURE)

    • (...and a lot more!!)

    • Choose your character and fire source before starting your adventure!

    • Each run is unique with different maps, tower compositions, and mazes.

    • Collect new towers, block cards, or power relics during your journey.

    • Each battle grants you experience. Learn from various talents and become stronger for your next adventure!
