Duskborn

About

Duskborn is a third-person rogue-like where speed and strategy collide. You navigate a descending, shifting environment using a jetpack and grappling hook, racing to survive as long as possible. Each run involves battling enemies to gain levels, scavenging loose items to craft upgrades, and adapting to the ever-changing layout. The challenge comes from balancing movement, resource management, and risk, since failure resets your progress. The game stands out for its tight, fast-paced action and the thrill of combining tools creatively. Developer LabOne48 leans into chaotic, reflex-driven gameplay, with a focus on vertical traversal and quick decision-making. Released in September 2023, it’s a short but punchy single-player experience for PC. Early feedback highlights its addictive loop, though some note the difficulty spikes can feel abrupt. If you like rogue-likes that prioritize movement over combat, this might hook you.
