Dawnhold is a top-down action base-defense game about protecting the Sunstone, the last source of light in a world overrun by the Hollowborn.
In Standard missions, you will gather resources, build up your defenses, protect the Sunstone from attack waves, and slowly push back the Hollowborn's forces. Victory is achieved by defeating the boss, deep within the Hollowborn's defenses.
There are optional Arena missions, in which you go on the offensive and take the fight to the Hollowborn, fighting waves of their forces.
As you progress through the campaign, you'll gain currencies used to gain and enhance powerful abilities, walls, towers, and purchase game-changing upgrades.
