Buy Empire of Ember PC key

Empire of Ember is a first-person fantasy action RPG with real-time strategy and management elements, set in the world of its spiritual predecessor, Ember. You play as a battlemage who inherits rulership of a city after your master is killed in an attack led by a mysterious cult. Rebuild the town, avenge your mentor and investigate the strange events surrounding the murder.

You explore procedurally generated maps and dungeons, fight alongside troops in battles of up to 100 units, and build and customise a city in fully destructible environments. Decisions you make can change the story and lead to different endings.

First-person combat

You can wield spells and weapons together, fighting with melee weapons, magic staves or a bow for long-range headshots. Use the environment to crush, trip, impale or explode enemies, and unlock spells from three schools of Lightbringer magic. These include telekinetically throwing boulders, projecting chain lightning, raising fallen enemies and commanding the undead.

Dodge, block or interrupt enemy attacks, and choose your tactics carefully to avoid being overwhelmed.

Lead your army

Command your army from a first-person perspective in battles of up to 100 units. In tactical mode, you can order troops to hold a shield wall while archers attack from above, or teleport behind enemy lines. Cities are fully destructible: use catapults to break defenses from a distance, or blast through walls and lead your troops through the breach.

Build your city

Design, decorate and defend a destructible 3D city. Place spawn points to direct attacks from high towers while melee troops guard the gates, and build facilities that produce resources for the city's growth. You can also download, besiege, destroy and rate other players' cities.

Rule and manage

Conscript and train troops to join your adventures or serve as the city's garrison, and research new unit types to strengthen your army. You also hold court and pass judgment on daily events in your subjects' lives. The story is written by Patrick Kevin Day, a former lead writer from Telltale Games.
