The last fire of Hearthwatch still burns at the edge of a fissure where something old is waking. Pick a class, descend, and bring back what the dark is hoarding.

Ember Abyss is an isometric action RPG that runs right in your browser — click to move, hold to fight, loot everything.

  • Three classes — the Ashknight (plate, shield and searing blows), the Starbinder (starfire, frost and lightning) and the Wildrunner (bow, venom and a pack of spirit wolves).
  • 27 skills across three skill trees, plus attribute points every level.
  • 12 procedurally generated floors through crypts, spider caverns, iron forges and the abyss itself — and endless depths after that.
  • Three bosses with telegraphed attacks: The Mire Mother, The Iron Warden and Hrath, the Ember King.
  • Random loot — normal, magic, rare and unique gear with rolled affixes, side-by-side comparison, a smith, a herbwife, a stash and waystones.
  • Champion and elite packs, shrines, chests, return scrolls and town portals.

Controls (mouse & keyboard): Left click — move / attack / pick up / talk · Right click — right-mouse skill · Q W E R — skills · 1–4 — potions · T — return scroll · Tab — map · Alt — show all loot · I / C / S — inventory / character / skills · Esc — menu · H — help.

Saves are kept in your browser. Use Export / Import Save on the title screen to move a character to another browser or device.

Best on desktop with a mouse. Also playable full-screen at ember-abyss.vercel.app.

All characters, places, items, art (procedural) and sound (synthesised) are original.
