Final verdict

out of 10

Ember Knights is a fantastic rogue-lite, pulling from some of the best of the genre to create an experience that keeps you coming back for more. The game revolves around getting skills, which you can cast normally or perfectly. Perfect casting provides lots of effects and opens quite a few synergies with relics.

We did find that a build we keep going back to is crit-heal, which lets you build into 50%+ crit rate to heal like crazy. This works fairly well until the enemies start hitting for 40%+ of your health.

It's a very enjoyable game and has lots of difficulty modifiers for great replayability. I'd highly recommend for anyone looking for a non-staple roguelite!

  1. I played some Ember Knights with Josiah, and we tried an agility build which was fun ๐Ÿ’จ
