Last boss area

I feel like there should be more of a reason for the portals and monsters other than "break the seal"
Like a reward after every portal, which you can see in the portal.
Or a reward after 2 and 4 portals.
Or even just after 3 and 4 portals so there is a reason to clear more than 2.
Right now the end just feels like a drag without any reward, just to get you HP or revives down.

I have been wondering the same thing and actually just stumbled upon your post. I kept wondering if I would get something after clearing 4 doors instead of 2 initially and realized I'm getting no rewards at all. If you are lucky you might get 2 minibosses and they will give small stats boost obs.

I wish they would add something like in Hades, where you actually kind of gamble clearing another room to get enough to buy another upgrade. At the moment, I am in the last level with 3 relics spots empty... pretty sure my run will be over soon.

I always thought there was a limit with the relic spots, but you can actually get more than the visible slots and scroll down

Oh that's good to know. I always just ended out having the max visible ones.
It still a shame that I made it all the way to the last boss with 3 spots to spare XD

I've been really enjoying the game so far, but the last realm is so awful. No power progressions or last ditch gamble like the pit to fix builds, boring open space rooms, environmental hazards difficulty went down not up, constant unskippable cutscenes because of the seals and portals, AND it is buggy. The whole final act is just clearly unfinished, almost placeholder level quality. It is so bad to the point that I always feel the urge to just quit my run once I'm done with World 4. I haven't gotten the true ending yet, but at the moment, even the "final" boss feels easier than World 4. Hell, I think World 2 with its blizzard and long invulnerable periods more threatening.

Still, I think the actual finished content is clear proof the devs know what they are doing when they do get to work on it. I really hope World 5 is getting worked on next patch.

Yeah, I believe in the devs 100%.
They add this, look at the feedback and will change the game accordingly.
v1.0 doesn't mean it's 100% finished, and the devs on this game have been a godsend for the gaming industry. So I'm not too worried.
Just hope people will give their feedback enough for them to see it

People are getting so used to developers pushing out garbage and slapping a v1.0 tag on their games, its a shame.

Their excuse is that they are a small development team, i mean bro there are SOOOOOOOO many games that were only 2 people working on it and when they released 1.0 it was a finished game.

Sorry but defending them is just laughable.


What i feel sorry about is the people doing the sprite work.

wwhy are you hating so hard? This is a good game and its in a finished state, like.. wtf

I mean I agree. I think the final world is not fit for release, especially when it is so jarringly bad next to the rest of the game. I can't refund the game now, but I wouldn't recommend it until this is fixed.

The game literally has had an overwhelmingly positive score since release.
I have been with it since alpha and it has improved by miles.
The devs are extremely dedicated and the last world was v1.0 because it finishes the story.
If they put v0.5 on it, you wouldn't be mad at all, they just made it a release instead.

Go play those SOOOOOOO many games then, give feedback to help the devs grow their game instead of flaming them to feel better about yourself for some weird messed up reason.
This is obviously a passion project, and every patch the devs implement suggestions from the community.
So either try give actual feedback or leave the community and don't play the game xD

we're currently working on Area 5 now that we have a lot of feedback from the community. for 1.1, you can expect a rewards system for Area 5 as well as a big balancing pass. there may be some other improvements as well but those are the two things we've either finished so far or are currently working on.
thanks for the feedback!

Thank you for the update!
I knew that I had nothing to fear, nothing but praise for the dev team of Ember Knight.
You guys have done an amazing job on this game.
Even though the 5th stage felt a bit like a drag, the bossfight was amazing and the boss variants are so much more than I expected.
