LINE Games, a company based in Seoul and part of LINE Yahoo, was established in 2012. They’ve developed and published a few games so far, including the roguelike action RPG *Next Hero* and the visual novel *Buried Stars*, which came out in 2018 and 2021. Their upcoming game, *Ember and Blade*, is a fast-paced action game where you fight waves of enemies. It features a distinctive art style and a complex story, with gameplay that’s similar to *Hades* but has its own unique progression system. While *Hades* lets you choose upgrades after each room, *Ember and Blade* focuses on surviving enemy waves and using temporary power-ups, called ‘blessings,’ and skill combinations during gameplay.
