Ember Knights is an action rogue-lite for 1-4 players, somequite inclined for a co-op playthrough but fairly enjoyable in singleplayer mode, made by Doom Turtle and published by Twin Sails Interactive.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
103 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I think what I most enjoyed was so far making builds, testing what worst and what not, and just playing for fun with any of the combinations I did.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
78 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
One of the reasons was the unique wide variety of weapons (which every one has a unique three skills and charged-attack that if you time it up well it will do a big hit to the enemies).
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
46 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
With the multiplayer, you get to bring in your character, so you get all the progression too, which is great.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
34 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
My favorite features are the way meta progression is handled, getting various "pick 1 of 3 buffs" for your runs (the ember tree) and my absolute favorite feature is the "choose your own difficulty" after your first clear.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The pixel graphics are nostalgic, music is good, and there are a lot of details to admire.
