Embers of War

Price Update!


Hello Community!

We'd like to thank everyone for all of your awesome support! As we make progress toward the future, we'd like to make an announcement!

A new price! Embers of War is now $1.99

$4.99?!?!?!


Steam Winter Sale is here!



We heard all of your feedback about not only the price but the content, gameplay and the direction the game had gone since everyone got to play it at PAX.

We're making a lot of changes to revert Embers of War back to what everyone played during their visit to our booth. We decided to lower the price to $4.99 in order to show you the community how much we appreciate your feedback and faith that you've had in our development team thus far.

We are creating a new development timeline, that should be available after the new year, in order to implement the things that you made us realize were more important to the feel of the game, and our dev team is always available to hear your questions, suggestions or concerns.



Development Update


There are Forces at work...



We know that since you first saw the game at PAX 2016, it has gone through many changes and turned into something that the community as a whole wasn't enjoying as much as we would have liked.

We've listened to all of your feedback and have a lot of changes coming to Embers of War.

Please continue to leave us feedback here, social media, and on our community Discord!

Comic Book - Embers of War


Gavin and Gwen have such a complex history and we're excited to finally give the community a glimpse into their past. With the help of Kindlon and Bagenda we've put together a comic book with some of Gavin and Gwen's origin story and first encounters with the enemy.
