Direct answer

Emberville is planned with 13 classes and 16 weapon categories. Players unlock and switch classes, then combine passive or active skills learned from them; weapons level independently and use attack buttons plus directional inputs for combo variations.

Class unlocking and inheritance

The official introduction says classes unlock through milestones involving weapon and armor types. Each class has its own skill tree. After learning classes, players can switch between them and inherit passive or active skills, so a build is assembled from learned abilities instead of remaining locked to one class.

Weapons and directional combos

Weapons level independently. The studio describes two attack buttons with directional input variations and the ability to chain skills into combos. Weapons, armor and class milestones are connected, but the official material does not yet provide a complete skill list, respec cost or final balance values.

Character appearance and build choices

The Steam description names hairstyles, beards, facial features and colors. It does not say how many options exist or whether appearance can be changed later. Cosmetic choices should be kept separate from equipment, class switching and inherited skills, which affect playstyle.

Vitromotus and the world loop

Vitromotus is the procedurally generated adventure space and is planned to contain eight biomes. The official introduction separates play into dungeon exploration, rebuilding the town and developing the player's estate. The world changes with each new game, so fixed route claims should wait for the released version.
