Ember and Blade Demands Blood in Free Steam Demo Starting July 17
LINE Games is unleashing a brutal taste of its upcoming action roguelite, Ember and Blade, with a free playable demo launching on Steam this Thursday, July 17. Over two hours of relentless demon-slaying awaits those brave enough to take on the role of Fenrix Haven: a former human now bound by immortality to hunt the infernal horde.
Demo features:
Horde vs. Hunter: Dive into non-stop combat against waves of demons and challenging soulslike Builds: Unlock randomized angelic blessings and field buffs to craft your own sword-and-magic The demo includes full gamepad support-ideal for seamless run-and-gun action.
Following this demo, Ember and Blade will return during Steam Next Fest in autumn, offering a vertical slice build with new progression mechanics, boss encounters, and community features. A Steam Early Access launch is scheduled for Q4 2025, and the full game aims for a global release in 2026 on Steam Deck, with console builds under consideration.
The demo delivers a first glimpse of Ember and Blade's adrenaline-fueled world: razor-sharp combat, strategic build crafting, and rogue-like depth wrapped in vivid, hand-painted visuals. It's a promising blend of hack-and-slash thrill and survival-horde pacing that veterans of the genre won't want to miss.
