Overview
Dawnhold is a top-down action base-defense game about protecting the Sunstone, the last source of light in a world overrun by the Hollowborn.
Gather resources, build walls and towers, fight enemy waves, and push outward from your base to assault Hollowborn strongholds. Each mission starts fresh, challenging you to balance building, gathering, combat, upgrades, and boss fights before the pressure becomes too much.
Survival is only part of the mission. To win, you’ll need to leave the safety of your defenses, break through the Hollowborn’s forces, and defeat the powerful bosses.
Missions
In Standard missions, you defend the Sunstone while expanding your defenses and pushing toward the enemy stronghold. Build your base, survive repeated attacks, and choose when to go on the offensive.
Arena missions offer a more direct combat challenge, sending you into focused battles against waves of Hollowborn enemies.
As you progress through the campaign, you’ll earn currencies used to unlock and enhance abilities, walls, towers, and powerful upgrades.
