Ember and Blade is a premium survivors-like game featuring strategic combat and challenging boss fights, complete with a layered narrative and entrancing aesthetic.
Play as Fenrix the demon hunter, who has transcended death - kind of. He's on a temporary immortality contract with an angel, and is transported to a mysterious world where the archdemon Asmodeus is sealed.
He meets Ariella, the enigmatic guardian sorceress who has stood against the archdemon alone for the past 500 years. It's not long before Fenrix is embroiled in her tragic fate as inevitable destruction draws near.
Destiny repeats itself - can you defeat endless hordes of demons to be the one to change the ending, once and for all?
Satisfying, High-Impact Combat
Slash and blast your way through the battlefield, taking down countless demons through powerful combat mechanics with dazzling effects. Discover your own combat style by utilizing unique weapons and dominate never-ending waves of enemies.
Celestial Blessings and Countless Strategies
Angels who are as quirky as they are powerful come to your aid with unique blessings! Combine their skills to unlock endless combinations of synergies that unfold anew each time.
