'Guardians of Ember' Early Access Update Adds Horde Mode - Screens

by Rainier on July 25, 2017 @ 8:42 a.m. PDT

Guardians of Ember is a combination of hack’n slash and traditional MMORPG with a focus on action-oriented combat in PVE and PVP as well as near endless character optimization.

After the success of Dragon’s Prophet and Runes of Magic, upcoming hack and slash/MMORPG hybrid Guardians of Ember will take on the mantle from Runewaker Entertainment’s past hits. The game offers a classic hack and slash experience with enormous hordes of enemies, deep crafting and enchanting systems, strong questline and exciting boss battles. To mix things up, Guardians of Ember comes with Runewaker’s signature-features like a housing system and the unique dual-class system.

After years of war the world of Olyndale has descended into chaos.

As a Guardian of Ember, your brotherhood marks the last line of defense against a dark menace. Sinister forces threaten the land and can only be stopped by the ancient Ember. The future of Olyndale lies on your shoulders. It is your fate - and your duty - to retrieve the magic stone and bring back peace to Olyndale.

Choose from six different classes and extend your skill set by selecting a secondary class after reaching level 15. A variety of 58 different regions with over 60 randomized and challenging dungeons await, where you battle against monsters, mortals and the living dead during your crusade to retrieve the Ember; different PvP modes as well as more than 300 skills and thousands of items will guarantee hours of exciting gameplay, extended by regular content updates.


For those that already cleaned the last dungeon, found or crafted the best loot possible, the Horde mode is the place to go next. With a group of four fearless friends, players face waves of monsters whose sole purpose is to destroy the ember crystal. Once destroyed or if all players have been killed, the match is lost, but those that stand their ground will gain honor points that can be cashed in at traders for high-end items. To balance any level difference between the participating players ranging from level 10 to 58, the Horde Mode raises health, damage and armor to a maximum for all players. 

Guardians of Ember is available via Steam Early Access, and celebrates the launch of the Horde Mode with a one-week long 50% discount on the Demigod Edition, which offers exclusive content.

Key Features:

  • Dual class system: choose a second class after reaching level fifteen 
  • Nearly unlimited character optimization: a total of four races, six classes, 300 active and seventy-two  passive skills
  • Extended PvE action: randomized dungeons with individual difficulty settings
  • Deep crafting and enchanting systems: design your perfect equipment
  • Housing system: decorate your own home with hundreds of interior items and hire house sprites for bonuses
  • Engaging questline with over hundreds of missions plus daily missions
  • Various PVP options: fight in 1vs1, 3vs3, 5vs5 - ranked and unranked matches
