About Emberwake

Emberwake is a 2D survival strategy game where you must protect the last ember of hope in a world plunged into darkness. Lead your villagers, gather resources, build defenses, and fend off relentless waves of undead as you struggle to keep your campfire alive.Your campfire is the heart of your village, providing warmth, light, and the will to survive. During the day, send your villagers out to gather essential resources—wood, stone, and food—to prepare for the night’s onslaught. Build and upgrade defensive structures around your campfire, ensuring that your village is ready for the impending darkness.As the sun sets, the undead emerge from the shadows, drawn to your campfire. Each night brings more enemies, and your survival depends on your ability to defend your camp and keep the fire burning. Every decision you make is crucial—will you strengthen your defenses, or risk sending your villagers out for one last supply run?Resource management is key to survival in Emberwake. Carefully balance the needs of your village by allocating tasks to your villagers, from chopping wood and mining stone to hunting and gathering food. Use your resources to construct new buildings and upgrade your existing structures, ensuring your village can withstand the growing threat of the undead.As you expand your village, new challenges arise. Over-harvesting resources can lead to scarcity, while upgrading your campfire and buildings unlocks new opportunities for growth and defense. Manage your resources wisely to keep your villagers alive and your campfire burning through the darkest nights.In Emberwake, combat is a test of strategy and endurance. Arm your villagers with weapons purchased from the Mystic Merchant, and position them strategically to fend off waves of skeletons, shadow creatures, and other dark forces. Upgrade your defenses with towers, barricades, and other fortifications to hold back the horde.As the nights grow longer and the enemies stronger, you’ll need to adapt your tactics to survive. Will you focus on strengthening your defenses, or take the fight to the undead with a more aggressive approach? The choice is yours, but beware—one mistake could spell the end of your village.Every decision in Emberwake matters. The dynamic day-night cycle brings new threats as darkness deepens, challenging you to adapt and rethink your strategies as the game progresses. Balancing resource management, defense building, and combat tactics is crucial to surviving in this unforgiving world.Survival depends on your ability to anticipate and overcome the growing challenges as the nights grow longer and the enemies more fearsome. Whether you’re a master strategist or a newcomer to the genre, Emberwake offers a deep and engaging experience that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Updating my review: Game has great potential, but that's about it. It's very short (it's too short even if it was in early access) and there's no reason to play more than once, other than for the achievements.

30 minutes were very boring and tedious. Not for me. 3/10.

Practically an idle game for how long it takes to do anything. The 30 minutes that I played were very boring and tedious because I have to make sure my villagers are always doing something and it became exhausting scrolling back and forth.

While I would recommend this game I would only do so on a sale as this game while having a good foundation is a bit of a mess with bugs galore and with certain mechanics that could have really used some polish for example buying new items becomes largely impossible when your storge is full as the only way to empty your storage is to grab trash items put them on a character then sacrifice them.

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.
