About The Ember Guardian

Darkness is relentless. The Fire is your only hope. Protect it… or be consumed.You are a Guardian, a lone wanderer carrying the last embers of a dying world. With only your wits, your weapons, and your loyal hound by your side, you must journey through the darkness, reigniting lost flames and pushing back the horrors that lurk within.

Your camp is your last line of defense. Craft ammunition, refine resources, and expand your camp to strengthen your defenses. Manage your workers by assigning them to hunt, scavenge, or guard. Unlock merchants to buy new skills and traps, or use the watchtower for intel on the approaching waves. Prepare wisely - the night will test your every choice.

When night falls, they come. Hordes of relentless creatures, drawn to the light of your fire, rushing in from all sides. Armed with an arsenal of unique weapons, you must hold the line. Modify your guns, unlock perks, unleash devastating abilities, because if the fire dies… so do you.

Each battle is a lesson, each defeat a step forward. Return to your hub between each level where you can permanently unlock new weapons, active and passive skills, structures, and even teach abilities to your dog!Venture into the unknown, scavenging forgotten lands for resources in a variety of environments. Every expedition demands careful preparation - weapon selection and ammunition supplies play a crucial role in determining whether you'll succeed or fail... Above all, time is your most precious resource. Make sure to return to camp before nightfall, or risk having to rebuild the ashes that are left.The flame is more than fire, it’s hope, strength, and survival itself. Protect it with everything you have and defy the darkness that seeks to consume it.

Damn i was really hoping for a longer game, took only 25 hrs to finish. But there may be more to come because when you use the teleporters and finish each area, there is a padlock icon in place of the arrow that you press to select another area...meaning theres room for just more of this masterpiece. An easy 9/10 for those that enjoy the "kingdom" franchise.

by far one of my favorite games. gameplay feels good, progression is very rewarding and all weapons are pretty well balanced so theres not a single that i could say is bad. great game, 24/7 fun and achievements are not a pain to get but also not a cakewalk. every system is almost perfect (besides some QoL stuff but its nowhere near enough to make any negative impact). BUY IT. NOW. ITS GUD. ps: if you played the kindom games and liked them, this game is more than perfect for you when you want some more action and mechanics.

Definitely worth buying this, what a little gem. Looks great, plays great, music is great. Lots of weapons, upgrades, pets, you can rearrange the entire camp and perfect your strategies. Worth a Buy

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
