A dark real-time action RPG beneath the cathedral town of Hollowmere. Choose a Warrior, Ranger or Sorcerer, carve through four acts of crypts, marshes, forges and a burning vault, and hunt legendary loot you can temper up to +15. When the story ends, endless rifts and Torment difficulties keep the hunt going.

How to play

Talk to Elder Maren, then take the cathedral doors down into the crypts. Kill monsters for experience, gold and gear—rarer items glow blue, yellow, green (sets) and orange (legendaries). Spend skill and passive points as you level, recruit up to three companions, and finish main quests to unlock new acts. In town, Borin sells, salvages, sockets and enhances gear from +1 to +15: past +7 a failure can drop a level and past +12 an item can shatter unless a Scroll of Safekeeping protects it. Ysolde identifies, enchants and gambles, and Captain Kael runs bounties and your company roster. After the story, open Rifts, beat the timer to push higher tiers, unlock Torment difficulties and earn Paragon points past level 50.

Controls

WASD or arrow keys to move, or click the ground. Click enemies, hold Space or right-click to attack. 1–4 use skills, Q drinks a potion, E interacts, R recalls to town. I inventory, K skills, J quests, C character, T achievements and titles, Esc menu. On touch devices use the joystick, the attack button (which also picks up and talks), the skill and potion buttons, or tap to move.

Tips and strategy

  • Hand Borin a Blessing Charm before a risky tempering: it adds 10% to that single enhancement attempt's success chance.
  • Failed enhancements still help: each failure on an item raises its next success chance by 3%, up to a 30% bonus.
  • Save your Scrolls of Safekeeping for attempts past +7, where a failure can drop a level, and past +12, where the item can shatter.
  • In a Rift, kill monsters to fill the bar, then defeat the Rift Guardian within the 10-minute limit to unlock the next tier.
  • If a companion falls, keep fighting: they get back up on their own after 12 seconds with half their health.

What happens when I die in Emberfall: Ashen Depths?

You choose to rise at the waypoint, which returns you to the current floor's entrance at full health, or to go back to Hollowmere. If you rise on a floor with a living boss, that boss is restored to full health.
