Alpha Playtest
The Ember Sword alpha playtest is a chance for players to get an idea of the game’s key features while also providing input to the team by sending them the bugs and issues they would encounter while playing.
The game’s infrastructure, stability, and graphic style are still being polished, but the team assured that players can expect numerous amazing features between the April and August playtests.
Ember Sword is going to be holding public Playtests this year — one in April and one in August. We’ll keep you updated about the upcoming playtest in August.
Feedback and Rewards
After finishing the playtest, you will be taken to a feedback page where you can share your thoughts. And be more thrilled! A few lucky participants in the feedback will be chosen at random to get an official Ember Sword merch pack.
