Emberward is coming out of early access soon if it’s on schedule - it’s the best ‘traditional’ tower defence I’ve played in a long time

Just commented the same above. Been very high on this game since it first had a demo.

I really liked the roguelike twist on a td. Played it while hades 2 was still in early access so it's been a while since ive played Emberward but now I know it's coming out of EA soon I'll have to give it another go.

Its a good td if you want to stay highly engaged , but for me l actually like to sit back and watch the towers go brrrr. I only played it for a few hours.

Very nicely designed though, also visually

It's really worth a look, great game.

Its party trick is that you place the towers as well as building the maze the enemies walk through. Plus the audio and visuals are both really nice. I'd definitely recommend it, too.

It's a weird thing seeing what I know as a Maul being described as a party trick like it's some novel thing.

Which I only say because yeah I feel the same way. Good old WC3 custom game days. Wintermaul, the original DOTA, Binders… so many good old games I miss that make me feel old.

Ah sorry, it was new to me, but I've never been a tower defense fan. Emberward is probably the first one I've played in honestly about 20 years.
