Dead At Dusk vs Sparkforge

Survive through the night against an endless horde of enemies! HEROES & WEAPONS Choose from a diverse selection of characters and weapons that offer a variety of gameplay experiences. ABILITIES Specialize or equip multiple abilities so your character is strong enough to survive through the night.

SPARKFORGE Enter the arena. Build something dangerous. See how far it takes you. Sparkforge is a fast-moving arena roguelite built around one question: What happens when the right abilities collide? Fight through increasingly strange arenas, draft abilities as you level, discover cross-tree synergies, and turn a modest starting build into something wonderfully unreasonable. Every run is an opportunity to forge a different answer. FORGE YOUR BUILD Choose from a growing catalog of abilities spanning distinct combat identities. Burn enemies down. Freeze the battlefield. Chain electricity through crowds. Bleed your targets dry. Build an unbreakable defense. Bend reality with the Void. Let the arena itself grow around you. Individual cards matter. What they become together matters more. Abilities combine into deeper synergies, capstones, and unexpected interactions that can completely change how a run plays. MASTER THE ARENAS Each arena brings its own enemies, hazards, geometry, and combat rhythm. Learn what survives there. Then build something that doesn’t merely survive. Boss encounters push your build in different ways, while secrets, unusual encounters, and increasingly strange mechanics reward experimentation. BUILD. BREAK. REBUILD. Sparkforge is designed for experimentation. Some runs become precise machines. Some become walking disasters. Some somehow involve a panda. We recommend respecting the panda. VERSION 2.2: CLAIM THE CROSSING Defeat Marchwarden to unlock Arena 7: The Twin Channels, a battlefield of split lanes, machinery islands, and contested crossings. Face the Tollkeeper and Railspike, then challenge the Switchwarden, a relentless boss with rotating crossing attacks and punishing charges. Build bigger chaos with nine reworked Neutral upgrades across 30 total tiers. Unleash piercing chaos beams, wider volleys, branching shots, and cascading explosions. Pair XP collection with speed bursts through Magnetic Core, turn level-ups into bursts of power with Overclock, and max out XP Boost to raise your run's level cap from 15 to 20. A refreshed title screen, gold-trimmed buttons, roomier menus, and a clear PLAY NOW! button get you back into the action. Rebalanced level-up stat growth and refined ability interactions keep every build a new experiment. Fire feels like Fire. Blood wants aggression. Guard can turn you into a fortress. Void starts bending the rules. And the combinations between them are where things get interesting. THE FORGE IS STILL GROWING Sparkforge is being built for the long haul. The road ahead climbs toward a 100-level arena campaign, with new arenas, enemies, abilities, bosses, secrets, and systems forged along the way. Version 2.2 is not the finish line. It’s where the next climb begins. Enter the arena. Forge your build. Break something beautiful.
