Our take on Creeping Dusk
The defining structure is its split between daytime settlement management and nighttime monster defense, with each phase preparing the next.
What is Creeping Dusk?
Creeping Dusk is a tower defense game with a day-and-night structure.
In daylight, expand a settlement around an abandoned gold mine, investigate the nearby area, and strengthen defenses before nightfall. Darkness brings attacks from groups of undead and other monsters, with later nights presenting greater challenges. Following each defensive battle, choose a reward that can provide construction blueprints, supplies, or bonuses. Exploring the fog around the mine may reveal advantages for future fights. The game also includes experience and upgrade points, which can be used to improve the town’s chances of surviving further attacks.
