The wait is over. Ember and Blade, the highly anticipated action roguelite from LINE Games, has officially launched its free playable demo—available now exclusively on Steam and Steam Deck. Players can experience up to two hours of intense demon-slaying combat, roguelite builds, and stage-clearing chaos as they step into the cursed boots of Fenrix Haven, a former human turned immortal demon hunter.
Whether you’re drawn to punishing boss fights or building unstoppable ability combos, Ember and Blade’s demo delivers a brutal yet exhilarating first taste of what’s to come.
⚔️ Roguelite Horde-Survival Meets Soulslike Intensity
Ember and Blade fuses the hack-and-slash feel of Diablo, the brutality of soulslike combat, and the endless action of horde-survival gameplay. In the demo, players will fight through evolving enemy waves, mini-boss ambushes, and powerful end-stage bosses using a blend of:
- Razor-sharp melee attacks
- Blessing-based magic
- On-the-fly build customization
