Ready to turn your enemies into chunky salsa? LINE Games’ highly hyped Ember and Blade just unleashed its free demo on Steam and Steam Deck, and it’s got everything your dark little heart craves: relentless demon hordes, brutal bosses, and enough hack-and-slash carnage to make a Dark Souls veteran wince.
Meet Fenrix, Your New Favourite Demon-Hunter
You play as Fenrix Haven — former human, current immortal, full-time demon-slayer with a sword big enough to make Cloud Strife jealous. Expect up to two hours of roguelite, horde-survival, soulslike chaos where your main goal is simple: stay alive, keep swinging, and maybe throw in a spell or two for good measure.
Why Should You Care?
- Hordes for Days: Demons, mini-bosses, and towering stage monsters. It’s like a goth piñata party — but you’re the bat.
- Build It Your Way: Stack angelic blessings, weapon upgrades, and wild buffs until you find that overpowered combo that melts everything in sight.
- Controller FTW: Sure, you can use keyboard and mouse… but seriously, do yourself a favour — plug in that controller.
What’s Coming Next?
This fall’s Steam Next Fest brings a beefier build with new stages, bosses, and shiny progression systems. Early Access rolls in later this year, promising chunky updates and fresh chaos. And if all goes to plan, the full game drops worldwide in 2026 — with console ports possibly waiting in the wings.
Grab your controller, sharpen your blade, and dive in — those demons won’t slay themselves. Download the demo now on Steam and carve your way through the underworld.
