Duskward is a one-thumb survivor game. Move through monster swarms while your weapons fire automatically. Each stage lasts eight minutes, followed by a boss fight. Pick an upgrade every time you level up. Stack arcane bolts, spinning blades, chain lightning, fire flasks and more. Max out a weapon and pair it with the right charm to evolve it. Try a different combination on your next run. Gold from every run buys permanent upgrades in the Armory, even when you fall. Unlock new heroes and work through five stages, from Whisperwood to The Hollow. Clear a stage to unlock its Nightmare mode. IN THE GAME • 5 stages, each with a miniboss and a final boss • 9 heroes with different starting weapons and perks • 9 weapons and 9 evolutions • 11 passive charms and relics • 12 permanent Armory upgrades • 21 achievements and a seven-day reward calendar • Pixel art and a chiptune soundtrack Play in portrait with one hand. The game pauses when you leave the app. Runs work offline, and there is no account to create. Duskward is free with ads and optional purchases. Watch an ad to revive, double your gold or get an extra reroll. Short ads may appear between runs. Remove Ads is a one-time purchase that removes those ads and grants ad rewards instantly, with the usual reward limits. Ads and purchases need an internet connection. Questions or feedback?
