ABOUT THE GAME

Every path is a decision.

Emberward combines maze construction, tower placement, and the changing choices of a roguelite run.

Before a wave, tetromino-style block cards let you shape the route enemies will take. Towers defend the path you create. As a run develops, towers, relics, runes, talents, maps, and characters give you more to consider.

Shape the maze

Block placement influences routing and where your defenses can stand.

Deploy your towers

Put different tower tools to work against each incoming wave.

Adapt each run

Relics, runes, and other choices change the decisions ahead.
