Ember Knights
A fast co-op action roguelite with a Daily Dungeon that everyone starts with the same gear.
Every day: Daily Dungeon: one dungeon a day from a rotation of curated dungeons, with the same starting gear for every player, a leaderboard and Collector tokens for taking part and for winning. New puzzle: Once a day.
Ember Knights is an action roguelite for one to four players by Doom Turtle, published by Twin Sails Interactive. Since its free 2.0 update it has a Daily Dungeon mode, run by a character called The Collector, in which everyone plays the day's dungeon with the same starting equipment and competes on a leaderboard.
About Ember Knights
Ember Knights came out of early access in July 2023 on Steam and later reached Switch, PlayStation and Xbox. You play legendary knights fighting the sorcerer Praxis through procedurally built worlds, using weapons, skills and relics that combine into builds, solo or in online and local co-op.
The Daily Dungeon arrived with the free 2.0 update, alongside Boss Rush and Chaos Run. The Collector, who stands next to where runs start in the Nexus hub, opens the mode. Each day brings one dungeon from a rotation of curated dungeons, and players report that everyone starts with the same equipment, with times compared on a leaderboard (the developers have commented on two-minute speedruns of a daily). You earn a token for taking part and another for winning, spent in The Collector's Token Shop on cosmetics and Ember. A December 2024 patch added 35 new dungeons to the rotation and raised token rewards for the hard ones, and patches through 2026 keep fixing Daily Dungeon details.
The main game has an Ember Tree of permanent upgrades, many weapons and skills, and difficulty modifiers. The paid Wrath of the Architect expansion adds worlds and bosses.
It suits fans of Hades-style action roguelites and groups who want a short shared challenge each day.
