Ember is an isometric role-playing game developed by N-Fusion Interactive and published by 505 Games.[1] The game was released on iOS and Windows. Ember was inspired by the 1992 video game and has received pre-release comparisons to the Ultima series and to Baldur's Gate.[2] [3] The game was initially meant to release in 2014 and 2015,[4] but was pushed back in order to expand the game.

Overview

Gameplay takes place in an open world, which players can freely explore. Players start the game in a small dungeon, which they must escape to progress in the game. Once free, the user will play as a Lightbringer tasked with saving the game's world. They must also find a way to save the world's most valuable resource, embers, which can be used for their power, worn as jewelry, or set free, requiring morality based decision making.[5]

The game features a branching story, weapons-based skill system, and crafting. Combat will occur in real-time but can be paused, and the game takes about 20 hours for players to complete.

Reviews

In 2015 Time magazine called Ember one of their "10 Most-Anticipated New iPhone Games", based on the demo released by N-Fusion.[6]
