Ember Knights is an action roguelite best played with friends. That’s why folks at Doom Turtle Studios encourage more people to play the game in multiplayer by reducing enemy HP scaling in the February 2023 Update.
In this patch, enemies in Ember Knights still get tougher as more players join a session. However, the amount of HP that they gain per additional player has been decreased. This means that players will only have to land fewer hits than before to defeat their foes.
Aside from that, those who are annoyed by the music in the Mimic King room will be happy to know that the volume is lowered in the February 2023 Update.
For fixes, the bug that prevented the proper button icons from showing up when using different controllers has now been squashed. On top of that, the issue where players could get stuck on a black screen before the opening cinematic begins is now fixed.
