How co-op works
Up to four local or online Knights clear the same combat rooms, each choosing a weapon, skills, modifications, and relics during the run. Players coordinate crowd control, elemental effects, defensive support, and staggered attacks, then combine complementary builds against elites and bosses.
About this game
Ember Knights is a rogue-lite action game built around fast combat and teamwork. Up to four players take on the role of legendary knights fighting to stop the mad sorcerer Praxis and his endless waves of corrupted enemies. Every run unfolds with procedural twists, challenging you to adapt your strategy and work together under pressure.

Combat revolves around mastering weapons, skills, and a deep pool of relics that create unique synergies each session. Choosing the right combination and coordinating with your team turns chaotic battles into satisfying victories. The run-based structure keeps the pace tight and rewards experimentation, making it easy to jump into one more attempt.
You can play online with friends or gather locally for couch co-op, including split-screen support. Runs demand constant communication and quick decision-making, especially when relics stack in unexpected ways. Whether you're pushing for a new personal best or just surviving the next boss, every session feels fresh and collaborative.
