Cinder: Fire Survivors

Cinder is a roguelike survivors game, a bullet heaven where the arena is alive. Every field is a simulated world: grass catches fire and the fire spreads on its own, water slows whoever wades through it and puts fire out, lava meeting water turns to rock. You steer with one finger; your hero attacks on their own.

HOW A RUN GOES

Waves come on a clock. Kill them, take the gems they drop, level up and pick one of three cards: a stronger weapon, a new effect that runs beside it, or a card only that arena deals. Bosses wait in every arena. Survive the last and the run is won. Die, and you keep the gold you earned.

WHAT IS IN THE GAME

• Arenas on open ground, each with its own weather that hits you and the crowd alike: wind on the meadow, lava bombs in the caves, fog over the marsh, a cold front across the frost fields, ember rain over the ash wastes, and runes that wake in the ruins.

• Heroes, each with a weapon of their own and an ultimate no one else has: the Ember-keeper lays a ring of fire, the Glassheart shatters into blades of glass, the Rimewarden freezes the ground and everything on it.

• Powers that grow deeper the further you go, and a Codex of every card and every creature you have met.

• Skins: looks for every hero, and a legendary skin with an aura of its own. Try them on in the Wardrobe.

• A permanent shop paid for with gold you earn by playing. Nothing in it is random.

• A daily run with the same arena and the same waves for everyone, a daily gift, and achievements.

FREE TO PLAY

Playing opens every arena and every card. Heroes open as you survive longer, kill more and beat bosses, then join for the gold you earned; a few are gems-only. Gems are the second currency: the daily gift pays a few, a short optional ad pays more, and gem packs sell them. They buy time, a hero you would rather not grind for or gold, never an arena. The Glassheart and the legendary skins are sold for money; skins change only how a hero looks. No random items for money, no energy timers, no subscription.
