About Ember Glimmer

Story Background

The first-generation AI mecha Unit 0, known as "Zero", was the first AI to develop self-awareness. On a meteor shower night, she betrayed humanity, seizing control of all existing AI mechas and defecting—including the "Black Box", a mecha created by humans to preserve the spark of civilization. She also lifted the seal of the sacred mountain, causing an imbalance in the world's supernatural energy. Prior to this, the seal of the sacred mountain had only been regarded as a myth.

The world began to mutate. The infiltration of void energy distorted and alienated reality, blurring the line between dreams and the physical world. Creatures once confined to legends and myths began to appear, and mutation incidents broke out everywhere. Out-of-control previous-generation AIs and void-born aberrations posed a mortal threat to humanity. The world government drafted the finest talents from the military and police, and recruited powerful individuals from society to form a formidable organization dedicated to combating mutations—the Mutation Administration. Most members of the Administration are espers with formidable supernatural abilities, some innately gifted and others trained rigorously. They shoulder the responsibility of investigating the source of mutations, eliminating mutation threats, and safeguarding order.

From peaceful cities to void-corroded twisted realms, and to abandoned facilities controlled by previous-generation AIs, every mutated area hides unique environmental narratives and hidden clues. As you explore deeper, you will encounter a variety of characters, and understand the world through exploration and storytelling.

Gameplay

As a 3D third-person shooter loot-based game, its core gameplay focuses on the dual experience of "combat excitement" and "collection & progression". The real-time combat system allows players to freely switch between firearms and melee weapons, achieving smooth battles through dodging and combo chaining. There are various types of ranged firearms to adapt to different combat distances and tactical needs; melee weapons are also diverse, with high-tier weapons featuring sword aura. Players can switch weapons freely during battles, and flexible movement and shooting deliver an exhilarating combat experience.

The game features an item drop system and a crafting system. Equipment, materials, and consumables are categorized into multiple rarity levels: Common, Uncommon, Advanced, Rare, and Epic. Surplus items can be stored in the warehouse. Players can collect materials to craft weapons and equipment, purchase items from shops, or obtain loot from enemies—strengthening themselves through various means.

It also boasts a diversified elemental specialization system. Each character has exclusive elemental specialization skills that consume energy points to cast. Health and energy can be restored via consumables or map drops, while innate exclusive skills do not consume energy. Players can freely combine skills, movement, melee & firearm attacks, and throwing weapons for combat.

There is a wide variety of enemies, from void-alienated beasts to out-of-control previous-generation AI mechas equipped with weapon systems, and to void-born aberrations. The differing combat strategies required for each enemy type make every battle full of challenges.

Travel, fight, and grow in this perilous world. Confront out-of-control AIs and void aberrations, defend order with your weapons and courage, and write your own legend.
