Duskward: Pixel Survivor

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.
