🎴 Emberblade: Plaguebearer

Emberblade: Plaguebearer is a deckbuilding roguelite set in a kingdom of ash and burning ruins. You start with a poison ten-card deck and fight clear a gauntlet of escalating foes on a single health bar. Each turn you draw five cards and spend three energy to play attacks, raise block or fire off skills — then the foe acts on the intent telegraphed above its head, so you always know whether to swing or defend. Win a fight and you add one new card to your deck, so your strategy compounds run after run; lose all your HP and the run ends, the roguelike way. The mode is Standard Run: Beat every foe in the run without dropping to zero HP. Foes here include the Ash Imp, Molten Ogre and the dreaded Inferno Wyrm, each hitting harder than the last. A quick pointer: don't hoard cards: discarding unused cards at end of turn refills your draw pile faster. It plays instantly in your browser on phone or desktop with crisp tappable cards, keyboard shortcuts (1-9 to play, Enter to end turn), WebAudio sound you can mute, and your best depth saved locally — no download, no sign-up.

• Read the foe's intent icon and block on the turns it plans to attack.
• Press End Turn (or Enter) when done; the foe acts, then you draw a fresh hand.
