Duskbound is best played with a mouse and keyboard. You can still forge your hero here, then set a password and pick it up on a desktop.
Six acts, one long night
From a lantern-lit market town to the last light at the edge of the Gloam. Every town is hand-set, and everything past its gate is rolled fresh for each instance.
Act II · The Sunscorched Reach
Saltmarrow
An oasis bazaar under a bruised dusk, and under the sand a king who traded away the sun
Act III · The Ember Throne
Emberhold
The last bastion of the Vigil, ringed by a moat of lava that never cools
Act IV · The Hollow Sea
Lanternwatch
A harbour on stilts in a storm that never ends. The tide comes in, and so do the drowned
Act V · The Frostbound Spires
Whitevigil
A cloister around the Great Bonfire, under an aurora. Stray from the fire and the cold takes you
Act VI · The Gloam
The Last Lantern
Shattered isles over a starfield abyss, and the last light before the dark
Three classes, nine skill trees
Fifty-four skills with synergies that reward going deep. Pick a lane or split the difference.
Warden
Shield of the Lantern Line
Steel
Bulwark
Wrath
When the lanterns of Hollowmere went dark, the Wardens stood in the gap between the light and whatever came out of the Gloam. Most of them are still standing there. In the ground.
Stalker
Huntress of the Whispering Wood
Marksman
Venom
Shadow
The Stalkers learned to hunt the things that hunt in the dark: quietly, patiently, and from much further away than they would like.
Emberwright
Keeper of the Last Flame
Flame
Frost
Storm
Emberwrights tend the last true flames in the valley, and they have learned that fire, frost and storm are all the same argument with the dark.
Eighteen bosses who will not go quietly
Three to an act, each with its own phases, arena tricks and yells. Floors that rearrange themselves, a choir that shares one life, a knight who steps out of the mirror wearing your class.

A companion at your heel
Thirty-four pets to hatch, name and keep, from a chick that hoards coins to a void kitten. Eggs drop in the wilds, the rare ones only from their boss, and a pet carries a small gift: gold find, magic find, or a nose for loot.

“Quick, clever, and deeply unbothered by the dead.”
A home to come back to
Every hero owns a garden plot with a little cottage on it. Press H to walk home and B to build: raise walls and roofs, lay floors, furnish the rooms, light the hearth.
Mount a boss's drop on the wall as a trophy, leave the gate open, and let your friends /visit and sign the guestbook.
When the story ends, the night does not
Beat the finale and the world starts over, harder. Then open the rifts and climb.

Nightmare and Hell
Monsters thirty and sixty levels up, resistances torn away, and better treasure the deeper you go.
VolatileHauntedFrenziedShrouded
Gloam Rifts
Timed runs through three to five floors of every act, with modifiers and a guardian. Clear in time to climb a tier.
Reading the ladder…
The ladder
Top heroes, fastest boss kills on every difficulty and the deepest rift clears, solo and in parties.
Hardcore
One life. A fallen hero lingers as a ghost in town, and its tombstone stays on the ladder for good.
Forty to a realm, and your couch is invited
40 seats per zone instance
Drop-in co-op
Every zone instance seats forty. Towns are the social hub; out in the wilds a party forms by walking up to someone. Invite, whisper and trade from the chat, and hand a friend gear by dropping it at their feet.
Mouse, keyboard or gamepad
Plug in an Xbox or PlayStation pad and the whole game follows: stick to move, face buttons for skills, the menus navigable end to end. The glyphs follow whichever device you touched last.
