Elemental Master: Heroes Assemble Launches on Steam at 20% Off

Elemental Master: Heroes Assemble, a squad-building strategy idle game, is now available on Steam. To mark the launch, developer Brother Chun has applied a limited-time 20% discount, bringing the price to $7.99 against a regular tag of $9.99.

What's in the full release

  • 50+ heroes, each with a distinct ultimate skill
  • 4 elemental factions and 12 advanced class specializations
  • Build customization through equipment affixes, Arcana, Runes, Relics, and Spirit Beasts — supporting playstyles from Crit Burst to Status Ailment builds
  • A main campaign plus challenge modes: Battle of Glory, Clash of Lords, and Monster Tide Invasion
  • New systems added at full release: the Relic System, Advanced Class Specialization, and an expanded High-Level Talent Tree

The game pitches itself as a low-micromanagement experience — the stated design intent is squad optimization and progression watching rather than moment-to-moment action. Feedback can be submitted through the Steam Discussions pinned thread or via email to the address listed in the announcement.

For players who followed the game during its earlier access period, the full release represents a meaningful roster and systems expansion; newcomers can sample it at a modest entry cost while the launch discount holds.
