Tiny Rails news & patch notes

Hi all, We're excited to let you know about our newest game, Ember Knights! https://i.imgur.com/BL7TJzw.gif Ember Knights is a multiplayer dungeon crawling rogue-lite with exciting hack and slash combat!

Worlds are falling

For reasons unknown, Praxis, Keeper of Reality, has descended into madness. Harnessing the power of the Great Flame, Praxis has mobilized destructive forces to keystone worlds. Fearing the end of these worlds, the remaining energy of the Flame has been used to summon the Ember Knights, legendary guardians of reality. Adventure solo or in teams up to 4 to defeat the evil armies, restore the mythical power of the Flame and learn the real truth behind the mad God's tyranny. Ember Knights is currently available to wishlist and we're working hard on having a demo ready for mid-late April! Thanks for checking it out! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1135230
