About
Darkness is relentless. The Fire is your only hope. Protect it… or be consumed.
You are a Guardian, a lone wanderer carrying the last embers of a dying world. With only your wits, your weapons, and your loyal hound by your side, you must journey through the darkness, reigniting lost flames and pushing back the horrors that lurk within.
Your camp is your last line of defense. Craft ammunition, refine resources, and expand your camp to strengthen your defenses. Manage your workers by assigning them to hunt, scavenge, or guard. Unlock merchants to buy new skills and traps, or use the watchtower for intel on the approaching waves. Prepare wisely - the night will test your every choice.
When night falls, they come. Hordes of relentless creatures, drawn to the light of your fire, rushing in from all sides. Armed with an arsenal of unique weapons, you must hold the line. Modify your guns, unlock perks, unleash devastating abilities, because if the fire dies… so do you.
Each battle is a lesson, each defeat a step forward. Return to your hub between each level where you can permanently unlock new weapons, active and passive skills, structures, and even teach abilities to your dog!
Venture into the unknown, scavenging forgotten lands for resources in a variety of environments. Every expedition demands careful preparation - weapon selection and ammunition supplies play a crucial role in determining whether you'll succeed or fail... Above all, time is your most precious resource. Make sure to return to camp before nightfall, or risk having to rebuild the ashes that are left.
The flame is more than fire, it’s hope, strength, and survival itself. Protect it with everything you have and defy the darkness that seeks to consume it.

nettement moins fun que two crowns, plus lourd, malgré le concept d'arme à feu qui m'avait séduit. Le jeu est pesant et trés rapidement ne souffre plus la comparaison avec La référence dans ce domaine. Déception et remboursement
Fun Game. I like the low resolution esthetic and the overall progression system. It does leave me wanting more from the game at times but I think its coming along very nicely with every update.
The best Kingdoms like since Kingdoms. I like the mission based structure and the whole upgrade system, has loads of guns/traps/pet things to try out. The whole blueprint system to change the base layout is great. Good progression, had to grind 1 or 2 times to get some gems to upgrade which felt good. Doesn't have couch coop which is a shame.
目前只想给个中评,游戏潜力还是很大的 看似技能多,武器多,实际好用的就那么一两个 武器推荐:初始步枪开蓄力模式,再搭配被动技能夜间猎人(不开灯就是常驻增伤50%)足以一枪秒,副武器只推荐裸突击步枪,后期一堆小篮球就靠突击步枪清(自带子弹小吸附) 科技树推荐:优先点每天早上自动来2火灵(一是不用浪费跑图时间去招募,二是相当于每天省2白球,前期收益巨大),防御塔等级和木箱等级(满级箱子修复也是一白球),猎人优先攻击和命中率,后补攻速。以及开局随机给等级3的被动技能(开局刷红球掉落UP) 大技能推荐:死神降临,5级115攻击的AOE,火灵狂暴+自己所有单位的攻速,晚上开一个就是剑雨洗地,另外在锄墙开路的时候也能加旷工的速度 被动技能推荐:T0小怪掉落UP(开局优先刷,影响一整局的技能升级速度),T1夜间猎人(满级常驻的50%增伤,步枪和狙击枪单发高伤的大爹),T2跑速类,回血回弹 布局推荐:1本箱左右猎人塔,2本箱左右猎人塔,足以杀穿主线,主角站中间开狂暴都能吃到 以下是希望游戏制作组改进的地方 ①武器只需要小弹药,重武器类可以改成消耗更多的小子弹,因为弹药台如果你做重武器子弹,那么晚上大概率狙击塔和机枪塔是没子弹的 ②各类制造台提取机制,建议改成做完一组就可以提取,而目前是一定要做完3组队列才能全部提取,明明弹药都做好了,而你只能等做完才能取出,纯恶心人 ③后期大红球严重溢出,是的,大红球非常容易溢出,大技能都点满了,大红球存储箱满了,包里的塞的多还没其他地方可以用还会顶飞白球,扔都麻烦,建议存储箱无上限或者转化成小红球。而小红球是所有资源里最难获取的,两个主动技能5级,小技能可能都点不满一个,建议增加一下掉率,主角局内爽感全靠小技能被动提升 ④增加宝石背包上限和掉率
Excelente juego, si te gusta Kingdom's Saga este no lo puedes perder.
For the first few minutes, fun gameplay, gunplay feels good. Can pet Doge 10/10
Finally something like two crowns!! keep updating please, it's fun 🥰
Great game! And it is not "just a copy of Kingdom, but with guns" x3 there is so much more, more to get, more to upgrade, to fight, different ways of defending your settlement, YOU are part of the fight too. And you can CUSTOMIZE THE BASE? If you like Kingdom, then this is 10/10 My only gripe is with difficulty balancing (but it is hard to balance something where you can upgrade so many different things and be either too weak for a mission or overpowered for a mission) With the difficulty (started on Hard, but was playing on Normal for the rest) it can still be very challenging and at times, it was really close. But last level and final boss were just a walk in the park, waaaay too easy. And it did not feel that interesting either, just a normal level, with normal almost mini-boss kinda, that was a bit of a let down. But that is probably the only thing I did not like, rest is amazing :D (just wish there was a co-op x3)
Great game. I was looking for something like this for a while after K2C. Sure, optimization wise demo as better (great demo, btw), but there is a long way to go for the single dev and I wish him goodluck. Saw his content yesterday at YT and now I'm a happy gamer ;)
