About EmbeRogue
"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.
