Flame Keeper | Release Date Trailer

Flame Keeper is an upcoming action roguelite game with a unique twist on life. It is set to be released on Steam, Epic, and Nintendo Switch on March 17, 2023. What sets Flame Keeper apart from other games in the genre is that it is an ongoing game that will be shaped and developed with the community's involvement. Players can expect the experience to evolve as they play and provide feedback, and as the developers continue to update and add content.

In Flame Keeper, you play as Ignis, a special piece of burning coal tasked with restoring the fire to the Eternal Flame. But in doing so, you drain your own life. The game is a dynamic action rogue-lite where your life is your currency. You must find the perfect balance between progress and staying alive as you battle through a world of darkness and monsters. As you die trying, you must learn from your mistakes and adapt your tactics, skills, and abilities to progress.

To fight hordes of enemies, players have a multitude of moves and attacks at their disposal, 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 players will need to learn to beat. In order to progress, players will also need to upgrade little coal via skills and passive abilities. Mixing and matching skills in the same run can create tons of different builds.

In order to restore the Eternal Flame, players must scour each environment for what remains of its energy and transfer it back into each stage's Fire Camp. Finding the right balance of keeping yourself alive and fighting while still progressing is key. At the start of each level lies Vulpis Village, where players can rest, enhance abilities, rebuild and upgrade structures thanks to the resources they collect.

Flame Keeper is developed by Kautki Cave, a Polish-based developer created by former members of Techland, Awaken Realms and T-Bull Games and a subsidiary of Untold Tales. It will be coming to PC and consoles in 2023, with a closed beta happening in late January 2023. With its unique twist on life, engaging combat, and ongoing development, Flame Keeper is definitely worth keeping an eye on.
