ARPG Guardians of Ember Leaves Steam Early Access

Runewaker, the company best known for Runes of Magic and Dragon's Prophet, announced today that their buy to play Hack n Slash ARPG Guardians of Ember has officially left Steam early access today. Players

Our time in Early Access has been longer than expected but we listened closely to community feedback especially on sensitive topics like the in-game shop which now only offers vanity items”, comments Patrick Streppel, CEO of Insel Games. “While no game is ever done - and we are already working on great new features for the upcoming months - we believe now is the right time to take a trip to Olyndale!

Guardians of Ember is a hack n slash ARPG similar to games like Diablo and Path of Exile. It differntiates itself from these titles with its unique dual class system as well as other notable features like player housing, crafting, and ranked PvP options (1v1, 3v3, and 5v5). Guardians of Ember is available on Steam for $19.99.

Personally, I don't think the game is going to attract a very large playerbase as a buy to play title as anyone can play Path of Exile for free already. The game has only been averaging about 24 players online at any given time on Steam according to Steamcharts.
