Prices
The United States storefront in every case, so this compares stores and not countries.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.29/day in the week to Aug 30 → 0.43/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
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.
Sums Steam only; GOG publishes no volume signal, so the true total is higher by an unknown amount.

meh...
Damn i was really hoping for a longer game, took only 25 hrs to finish. But there may be more to come because when you use the teleporters and finish each area, there is a padlock icon in place of the arrow that you press to select another area...meaning theres room for just more of this masterpiece. An easy 9/10 for those that enjoy the "kingdom" franchise.
Скорее да, чем нет. Калька с Kingdom, но с пушками. Больше исследования и стрельбы и меньше экономики. Много оружия, правда половина мусор. Играл на Стимдеке, было вполне удобно, но пару раз жутко фризило и иногда персонаж тупит и не вкладывает шарики куда надо. Ближе к концу пришлось снизить сложность, неохота тут гриндить было. Да, кстати, есть метапрогрессия, прокачка персонажа, оружия и лагеря. Очень спорная, нужно в забеге собирать кристаллы разного цвета и потом вкладывать их в прокачку. Мне не зашло, мало дают кристаллов для оружия, а стрелять, напомню, надо очень много. Поэтому на средней сложности даже было тяжко. На легкой уже повеселее. И отдельный котел в аду хочу для того, кто придумывал летающих врагов, их всегда много и трудно попасть. И еще котелок для тех, кто сделал выдачу патронов и переработку шариков с временным эффектом, тебе нужно вложить ресурсы и, БЛ((((9999ТЬ подождать, пока тебе выдадут патроны. Это ЗВИЗДЕЦ! В остальном, игра норм. Врагов много, они разные, есть боссы. Но стилистика очень на любителя. Цена тоже не маленькая, советую брать по скидке.

1시간동안 플레이해봤는데 버그가 너무많음 1. 맵 안에서 크림슨 오브로 스킬 구매할때 상점에 진입시 키가 안먹힘. 한번 나갔다가 다시 들어가야 비로소먹힘 심지어 스킬을 구매하고 다른 스킬을 사려면 마찬가지로 나갔다가 다시 들어가야함. 2. 키 변경이 커마 , 콘솔 두개다 있는데 콘솔 키변경으로 들어갈시 키 변경을 누르는 순간 아예 동작을 멈춤. 내 생각엔 게임이 적절한 키패드 신호를 기다리는데 키보드 + 마우스라 계속 기다리기만 하는게 아닌가 싶음. 나가는 유일한 방법은 게임을 강제종료 하는것뿐임. 3. 게임이 뭔가 ai 티가남. 킹덤 투크라운이나 언틸 위 다이와는 다른 뭔가 위화감이 있음. 플레이 도중 중국에서 만들었나 싶어 게임 제작사 이름 체크한건 이게 처음인듯. 4. 형편없는 번역. 동일한 화자가 존댓말 하다가 반말 하고 그럼. 출시된지 4개월이나 지났는데도 가장 고치기 쉽고 피드백 많이 되었을 버그들이 방치되고 있는걸 보면 게임의 미래가 보여 환불런함.

I've always loved pixel art games, and after playing Kingdom Two Crowns, I found myself enjoying The Ember Guardian even more because of its gameplay style and rewarding progression. The only downside, in my opinion, is that the game still has a few bugs. For example, the Orb Alchemist shop sometimes gets stuck, preventing me from navigating the menu to select perks. That said, I believe these issues can be patched by the developers over time. Overall, I highly recommend this game, especially if you're a fan of Kingdom Two Crowns. It's a fun and engaging experience that's definitely worth checking out.
For the first few minutes, fun gameplay, gunplay feels good. Can pet Doge 10/10
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.
The Ember Guardian, ilk bakışta basit görünen ama oynadıkça "bir tur daha atayım" hissi uyandıran bağımsız yapımlardan biri. Çok büyük bütçeli bir oyun olmadığı belli, ancak bunu eksiklikten çok kendi tarzını oluşturmaya çalışması olarak görmek lazım. Oyunun temel mantığı oldukça sade; bulunduğunuz bölgeyi ve Ember'ı korurken giderek güçleniyor, yeni ekipmanlar ve yeteneklerle daha büyük düşman dalgalarına karşı ayakta kalmaya çalışıyorsunuz. Özellikle ilk saatlerde karakterinizi geliştirmek ve hangi yeteneklerin birbiriyle uyumlu olduğunu keşfetmek keyif veriyor. Görsel tarzı hoş duruyor ve efektler savaş sırasında yeterince tatmin edici. Düşman yoğunluğu arttıkça ekranın karışması güzel bir "hayatta kalma" hissi oluşturuyor. Ancak bir süre sonra içerik tarafında tekrar hissi oluşmaya başlayabiliyor. Harita ve düşman çeşitliliği ilerleyen güncellemelerle artırılırsa oyunun ömrü ciddi anlamda uzayacaktır. Zorluk seviyesi de fena ayarlanmamış. Oyunun başında her şeyi rahatlıkla temizleyebiliyorsunuz ama ilerleyen dakikalarda küçük bir hata bile tüm koşunun bitmesine neden olabiliyor. Bu da oyuna hafif bir roguelike tadı katıyor. Genel olarak The Ember Guardian, büyük beklentilerle değil de "akşam bir iki saat kafa dağıtayım" düşüncesiyle girildiğinde keyif veren bir yapım. Özellikle bu tarz bağımsız hayatta kalma ve dalga savunması oyunlarını seviyorsanız şans verilebilir. İçerik güncellemeleriyle çok daha iyi bir noktaya gelebilecek potansiyele sahip görünüyor. Artıları (+) +Akıcı ve bağımlılık yapabilen oynanış. +Karakter geliştirme sistemi keyifli. +Görsel efektler ve atmosfer başarılı. +Fiyatına göre tatmin edici içerik sunuyor. Eksileri (-) -Bir süre sonra tekrar hissi oluşabiliyor. -Harita ve düşman çeşitliliği biraz daha fazla olabilirdi. -Uzun vadeli oynanabilirlik için yeni içeriklere ihtiyaç duyuyor.
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
Excelente juego, si te gusta Kingdom's Saga este no lo puedes perder.
