Description:

In Embers of Uprising, the village had known peace—until the king’s ruthless henchmen descended without warning. Their brutal attack left the village in ruins, taking lives and shattering families. Now, the few remaining young warriors are driven by one mission: to storm the king’s stronghold and end his reign of terror once and for all.

This fast-paced, combat-heavy action game offers two intense levels of brutal fights, culminating in a climactic showdown with the king himself. But here’s the twist: when one hero falls, another immediately steps in to take their place, wielding the fallen hero’s weapon and continuing the fight. Your heroes may fall, but their will to fight lives on—embodying the theme, "Heroes Never Die."

Every fallen warrior leaves behind not just their weapon, but their experience. You must carry on the legacy of the previous fighter and lead your band of rebels to the end, no matter the cost.

How to Play:

WASD to move and click to attack.

Press left-shift to block with your shield. Beware, there is a cooldown.

In level 2, you can press Q and E to switch between sword and axe.
