Hello from Vaelmino Games! We'd like to introduce 28 Dawns, a pixel-art roguelite defense game built around army progression, loot, and build experimentation.By day, decide which camps to upgrade, choose class promotions, and equip your soldiers. By night, your army marches and fights automatically, putting your decisions to the test against monsters and bosses.

What will your army look like this run?

Start with six class families and explore 14 first promotions and 28 final classes. When your frontline starts to buckle, do you invest in sturdier tanks and healing, or push for enough damage to end the fight before the horde grows?

  • Shields and sustain: combine tanks with healing, shields, and support auras to hold the line.

  • Frost and protection: freeze enemy groups and gain shields from successful freezes.

  • Lifesteal melee: keep Blood Oath Knights fighting as their attacks restore health.

  • Damage over time: mix poison, burning, and curses to wear down crowded waves.

A new drop might inspire a new plan.

Each of the 42 promoted-class skills has six equipment enhancements: 252 enhancement options to discover. Add 30 universal accessory effects, 45 class passives, and 30 relics to shape your army's damage, defenses, and support.Equip each camp with a weapon, helmet, armor, and accessory. Compare new loot, look for effects that complement its skills, and use reforging scrolls to refine your setup. Legendary gear can even roll two distinct effects.

Make it to the next dawn.

Take on three chapters featuring 18 chapter-specific enemy variants and 27 bosses. Each chapter is its own 28-night expedition. Clear Chapter 3 to unlock Hard Mode, where enemies gain extra skills and equipment can reach level 30.Even if the gates fall, you keep your Sacred Stones and permanent unlocks. Return with more options and another build to try.If you enjoy collecting loot, building armies, and finding synergies, wishlist 28 Dawns on Steam!Shields, frost, lifesteal, or damage over time—which build would you try first? Share your ideas in the comments. We'd love to hear them!
