The tide is coming for you. And for your light. Gloamward is a survival action game where staying alive is only half the fight. Move through waves of enemies while protecting the beacon at the heart of the battlefield. MOVE. DODGE. KEEP THE LIGHT ALIVE. Your keeper attacks automatically. You choose where to stand, when to unleash Nova, and when the beacon needs a repair. Every opening matters. BUILD YOUR OWN WAY THROUGH THE NIGHT. Choose upgrades during each run. Combine orbiting wisps, piercing beams, ricocheting shots, splitting bullets, and shields that intercept enemy fire. Explore skills in the in-game practice arena before taking them into battle. THREE KEEPERS. SIX FINAL TRIALS. Choose a keeper with a different strength, unlock new realms through play, and face the guardian waiting at the end of each shore. A LITTLE LIGHT. YOUR OWN LOOK. Optional Moonlight and Rosegold cosmetics give your keepers a different style without adding combat stats. The game offers optional rewarded ads and in-app purchases. Cosmetic collections are sold separately from the base game experience. Privacy policy: https://gloamward.meiji.plus/privacy/index.html Support: ghostsgm@163.com
