My first impressions of Emberwake weren’t the best. The grindy start and clunky tutorial left me cold. But the more I stuck with it, the more I started to appreciate what it was trying to do. It’s clearly a project from a small team (maybe even solo-developed), and you can feel the care and ambition behind it. If you’re patient, there’s a challenging and rewarding strategy-survival game in here. It may not dethrone Kingdom Two Crowns, but it doesn’t have to; it’s carving out its own niche. With some balance tweaks and refinement, it could grow into something really special. Also, keep in mind this is a single-player experience only. For now, I’d say try the free demo. If the core loop grabs you, then you’ll probably find enough here to justify the full game
