About
Emberville is an action RPG that offers a fresh take on the ‘farm and fight’ genre. It features easy-to-learn but strategically complex combat, a unique skill inheritance system, and tough boss battles. A new trailer gives players a preview of the gameplay.
In Emberville, players have a lot of freedom to customize their experience. You can learn combat skills from different classes and even build your own creations. The game builds on simple controls with a combo system tied to specific weapons, letting you unlock and chain attacks for powerful results. By leveling up multiple classes, you can also create a truly unique combat style tailored to how you want to play.
The creative zone lets players build and decorate with structures, farms, crafting stations, and all sorts of items, many of which can be customized. To make managing your items easier while you switch between activities like farming, fishing, building, and fighting, Emberville has a smart interface that automatically changes to show you the tools and resources you need for whatever you’re doing.
Emberville aims to deliver a more complex gaming experience than typical ‘fight and farm’ games. Beyond simply gathering resources and battling enemies, the game features a unique leveling system. Players can switch between classes and even carry over skills – both active and passive – to new classes. This allows for a lot of customization, letting each player build a character and playstyle that’s truly their own.
