Emberscape features a mix of high action and strategic decisions about defense placement. Spend your build points wisely during the build phase to maximize your chances at surviving the next wave of attackers. During the combat phase, use a variety of customizable skills in conjunction with your traps to lay waste to the oncoming menace. Neither player abilities nor traps alone will be able to defend you from the threat you face.
Emberscape has been constructed to be co-op from the start. Unlike many games that advertise co-op simply because multiple players can play together, Emberscape’s traps and abilities are designed to be most effective when used together. Players can only choose a limited number of both traps and abilities, so combining the effects of each is crucial to overcoming the game’s harder challenges. If you like the rush of overcoming a tough challenge as a team, whether that be a boss fight, a great PvP match, or a co-op puzzle, you’ll love Emberscape. If you’re more of a solo player, that’s okay too, the game features many maps suitable for solo play as well.
Finally, Emberscape is a game built around a respect for the skill of the player and their playstyle. Even if you’ve never played a video game before there are challenges appropriate for you and your friends. If you’re a veteran player we definitely have many options to let your play group tune the challenge to your liking. Along the way you’ll unlock a large of variety of traps and skills to choose from, allowing you to pick a playstyle that is all your own but never at the expense of a micro-transaction or grind. There’s no XP or levels to obtain here, instead you’ll find carefully crafted challenges that encourage you to explore the vast number of interactions between all your available skills and traps.

We're getting ready for our Kickstarter which we plan to launch next month. In the run-up to that we are going to be posting more details about the game both here and at our blog. Kickstarter announcements are hardly something to get excited about these days but if you're into co-op action tower/wave defense style games (and frankly there aren't that many to choose from), we think you'll be tickled pink by what Emberscape has to offer. We'll be posting here regularly and you can always join our zero-spam mailing list and we'll let you know when the campaign kicks off.
