Ember Knights is the first on the docket. While the thumbnail for the announcement trailer below may make the titular Ember Knights look cute, it’s clear they’re mean fighting machines, using swords, bows, magic, and anything else they can get their hands on to take down their foes.
Described by Asmodee and developer Tiny Titans Studios as an “action multiplayer roguelite dungeon crawler” (whew), Ember Knights’ procedurally-generated action plays from a semi-top-down perspective a la Enter the Gungeon and Hades.
Tiny Titans promises that players will have plenty of weapons to choose from, be able to upgrade abilities, and fight a variety of bosses in procedurally-generated
The game supports up to four players in both local and online multiplayer. Ember Knights will enter Early Access sometime in the fall, though a firm date hasn’t been pegged down just yet. It will eventually release on PC and consoles.
Innchanted, from developer DragonBear, is also a rather cute-looking adventure, but instead of focusing on combat, it focuses on management, where players test their skills running an inn and cooking up potions for patrons. Of course, there are baddies under the control of an evil wizard to “deter,” because what would running any business be without rivals?
Innchanted is played from a semi-top-down perspective, too, but is much more reminiscent of games like Overcooked, right down to its art style and overall design. It also supports 4-player co op for local and online parties and is geared more toward kids and families.
Asmodee CEO Pierre Ortolan said that the publisher is glad to work with Tiny Titans Studios and DragonBear to publish two new that focus on multiplayer co op.
