Publisher Untold Tales and developer Kautki Cave have announced the release date for their upcoming dynamic action rogue-lite title Flame Keeper. Flame Keeper is a unique rogue-lite action game where you play as a cute little burning coal called Ignis and your task is to restore the fire to the Eternal Flame. However, you must give your own life to the Eternal Flame in order to keep Eternal Flame burning. This is a unique title where you will need to find a balance between your own survival and progress in the game as you battle through darkness and fight monsters.
Check out the latest release date trailer for Flame Keeper below which gives us a little bit of everything that we can expect from the game when it launches later this month:
Flame Keeper will be released in its Early Access phase and during this phase, the developers will continue work on the title as they gather feedback from the players. Flame Keeper will evolve during the Early Access phase as the developers will continue to add new content to the game such as new weapons, perks, biomes, enemies, bosses, vendor items like elixirs and much more in the coming months.
Key features of Flame Keeper include:
- Fight Like You Mean It – Take on hordes of enemies using a multitude of moves and attacks including punch combos, fiery dashes, wide area-of-effect stomps, and powerful finishers that deal decisive damage. Each biome in Flame Keeper is inhabited by unique foes and obstacles of increasing difficulty that you’ll need to learn to beat.
- Your Ignis, Your Play Style – In order to progress you’ll also need to upgrade little coal via skills and passive abilities. Mix and match skills in the same run to create tons of different builds.
- Here’s To Your Health – In order to restore the Eternal Flame, you must scour each environment for what remains of its energy and transfer it back into each stage’s Fire Camp. Find the right balance of keeping yourself alive and fighting while still progressing.
- Recharge In Vulpis Village – At the start of each level lies Vulpis Village. Here you can rest, enhance abilities, rebuild, and upgrade structures thanks to the resources you collect.
Flame Keeper is slated for release on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store along with Nintendo Switch this March 17, 2023.
