About the Game

Oathguard is a melee focused survivor-like built around skill expression. Play as a lone paladin carrying the last light of a fading world. Fight undead hordes in intense, ability-driven combat, explore a dynamic map with shifting objectives, and evolve a sacred Oath to endure the darkness.

This is a compact, high-intensity experience where your survival depends on skill, timing, and decision-making.

A SACRED VOW

Wield a divine Oath that grants unique passive effects and evolves throughout your run. Choose up to three powerful Augments to strengthen your bond with the Oath, unlocking new effects and holy synergies to withstand the growing undead hordes.

HANDS-ON COMBAT

Combat in Oathguard combines action, positioning, and active decision making with survivor-style chaos

Chose from a set of weapons, each with distinct active abilities, master their synergies and complete your build with a ultimate-style faith ability to define your playstyle and turn the tide in clutch moments.

EXPLORATION & OBJECTIVES

Battle through fog-soaked graveyards, complete objectives, find light puzzles and progress deeper into corrupted lands. Each run culminates in unlocking access to the crypt where your greatest challenge awaits.

RELICS & TREASURES

Open chests scattered across the map to discover ancient relics offering power and build variety, while cursed ones grant your their strength at a steep price, don’t let greed consume you.

BUILT FOR REPLAYABILITY

With evolving Oaths, skill-based melee combat, and a dynamic map, Oathguard delivers a compact, replayable survivor-like experience where mastery keeps your light alive.
