Dawnhold

Dawnhold is a unique game that blends many different genres and archetypes together into one coherent game. The premise is simple, and the core gameplay loop is solid. Start each level from fresh, gather resources, get stronger by defeating enemies, protect your base, and eventually venture out to destroy the enemy's base. However, underneath the hood there is a more complex system at play. You have limited between mission resources that you have to spend to power up your hero, you have to pick which towers or abilities you begin each mission with, and you can only upgrade your abilities or buildings so much before you run out of resources. Due to this, the level of depth and challenge can easily run away from you if you do not prepare adequately for each mission. There are two types of missions present in Dawnhold, classic style missions, as described above, or arena challenges, where you have to survive waves of enemies with no base to fall back on. And your approach for both types of missions can vary. Ultimately Dawnhold is clearly a passion project and it offers hours of replayability by offering the player 3 classes to chose from. These classes are distinct from one another, each offering their own gameplay style. Due to this, and the multitudes of difficulty, Dawnhold has enough content to keep anyone dedicated for many hours. Dawnhold clearly only prioritized one thing during development, and that one thing is making sure that everyone who plays Dawnhold receives a fun and engaging game. For the price that it is being offered at, Dawnhold is a must buy and it will surely bring endless hours of joy to anyone who gets hooked on the gameplay loop.
