Become Ignis, a special coal tasked with liberating the world of Orbis, recently overrun by forces of darkness. Luckily, it just so happens that you're trained in the art of mortal combat! Learn how to fight, upgrade your abilities, venture through increasingly hostile worlds, and restore the Eternal Flame.

Adapt and take on enemies using a multitude of moves and attacks including punch combos, fiery dashes, wide area-of-effect stomps, and powerful finishers that deal decisive damage. But don't get too reckless - smart stamina usage is essential. Each biome in Flame Keeper is inhabited by unique foes and obstacles of increasing difficulty. Consult the trusty Bestiary as you unlock insight into the strengths and weaknesses of your enemies.

It's not enough to let your fists do the talking. Sometimes... you need a little pick-me-up. Upgrade Ignis to your heart's desire via skills and passive abilities. Collect seeds from defeated enemies to learn new skills and complete specific tasks to receive runes and unlock helpful passive abilities. Mix and match to create tons of different builds!

Flame Keeper will be releasing into Early Access on Steam, Epic and Nintendo Switch starting March 17th, and will remain so for about a year.

“The Early Access version of the game includes the first 2 biomes out of many that we plan to release in the final version of the game. Because of the genre specifications, we are unable to say how long the game will take to complete. Throughout the year we will be updating the game with new content, functionalities, and features making the game more complex, so the end = longer.”

Flame Keeper is currently an ongoing game and will be developed and shaped with the community's involvement. You can expect the experience to evolve as you play and give feedback, and as we continue to update and add content. You can look forward to new weapons and perks, new biomes, enemies, bosses, vendor items like elixirs, and much more over the coming months.

“Our development will be focusing on three main pillars: delivering new content (so adding new biomes that will enhance the entire world and also the gameplay time), building new functionalities and features (like CO-OP/Multiplayer, Vendor etc.; their role is to make the gameplay more diversified) and improvements (covering all your comments, fixes and bugs).”

To restore the Eternal Flame, you must scour each environment for what remains of its energy and transfer it back into each stage's Fire Camp. Here's the twist: the energy you collect also acts as your health. You need to deplete it to charge up each Fire Camp, but you also have to stay healthy to explore ever deeper. Find the right balance and discover your best way to play.

At the start of each level lies Vulpis Village. The Vulpis are friends to a brave charcoal like yourself, so they're happy to provide a service. Here you can rest, enhance abilities, rebuild and upgrade structures thanks to the resources you collect. The village changes along with your progress and opens up all-new gameplay features each time.

Flame Keeper is coming to Nintendo Switch PC (Steam) in 2024.
