Duskward

about/

Night never ends in the Duskward. You are one of the last Wardens, and your lantern is the only light left. Monsters pour out of the dark from every side. Move with one thumb while your weapons fire on their own, survive eight minutes, then face the stage boss.

Every level brings a choice of three upgrades. 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 into something much more powerful.

Break braziers for bombs, magnets and roast chicken, crack open treasure chests, and learn to read an enemy's attack before it lands. Each of the five stages has its own miniboss and final boss, from Whisperwood to The Hollow. Clear a stage to unlock its Nightmare mode.

Gold from every run buys permanent Armory upgrades, even when you fall. Unlock nine heroes with different starting weapons and perks, work through achievements, and try another build. Pixel art and a chiptune soundtrack keep the night company.

Duskward plays offline and needs no account. Rewarded ads let you revive, double gold or reroll upgrades; occasional interstitials appear between runs. A one-time Remove Ads purchase removes those ads and grants every ad reward instantly, with the usual reward limits. Purchases and ads need an internet connection.
