About the Game

"And then when you die you will come back again until the world also dies and nothing is left but ashes."

From the creator of Hibourogue comes EmbeRogue, a turn-based, grid-based and boom-based roguelike inspired by Brogue, Angband and ADOM.

Features

  • A Real Roguelike: turn-based, grid-based and boom-based tactical gameplay at your own pace but every move is final, each decision will shape your run with its consequences.

  • Classless: Each run you will find a different set of items, gear and spells to create your own build as you descend into the Pit.

  • Ego powers: Magical and game-changing abilities can be found infused into weapons, armors, trinkets or rings.

  • Secrets: You can do something many times before you truly grasp what was done.

  • You are the Emberbearer: Channel inner flames through a branching power path that will give you the extra ability you need to prevent the full-force blaze from burning this world to ashes.

  • Permadeath: It's the only permanence, only ashes are left anyway.

The Pit is the first dungeon

  • When heated, the Pit's flames will eat at everything, flattening regions to ashes.

  • When a region is lost it becomes prey to a more sinister, darker corruption.

  • If you ascend victorious from the Pit you should have the skill and spirit necessary to navigate a big overworld and take on the other 3 dungeons.
