New announcement trailer showcases the dark corruption you’ll face in this classically inspired adventure
Quarter Onion Games today announce Emberlight, a roguelike dungeon crawler that combines classic PC gameplay with a novel twist.
The trailer gives players a sense of the in-depth gameplay they can expect as they delve deeper into the dungeons warping their very being. It is the corruption that makes your party powerful, as to everyone else you face.
Emberlight incorporates absorbing enemy abilities in a race against their corruption. Explore procedurally generated dungeons as your party works to complete different quests in the name of the Ember Order. But be warned: the very Ember powers used to defeat your enemies will corrupt your very soul.
Players can get access to early builds of Emberlight right now by signing up to Quarter Onion Games Patreon and joining their exclusive Discord channel where they can discuss the game’s development with the team.
Co-Founder & Creative Director, William Phelps said: “When we started designing Emberlight, we wanted something that pulled from both the nostalgia of games we loved in our past as well as some of the styles of games we’ve greatly enjoyed in the present.”
“We were huge fans of the Final Fantasy series, particular Final Fantasy X, while also having a blast playing games like Binding of Isaac, Darkest Dungeon, and Slay the Spire. We saw a path where we could combine our nostalgia with the more modern roguelike elements in exciting and fun new ways.”
Emberlight will launch on Steam August 13th, 2019.
