About
Gloomsday is a dark roguelite action-platformer where the mana is literally in the air. Survive the ever-shifting halls of Colwell Academy by spending its precious mana wisely. Your enemies will.
There are no mana bars here. Charge your spells from the mana hanging in the air. Casting drains the region around you; stay still and the world greys out, your spells die, and then you die. But it recovers, slowly. Enemies cast from the same field, so every fight is also a fight over ground: bleed a caster's corner dry, or watch him do it to you.
Fourteen spells and counting: beams you charge, heals you channel, fire you wear, summons that fight beside you. Layer on the glyphs, enchantments, and pacts you find along the way. Train your meager thief skills into real mobility. Thousands of combinations, and every build comes out different: glass cannon, tanky summoner, invisible assassin.
Standing still is how casters die. Movement feeds everything here: repositioning keeps your mana flowing, a double jump refunds spell charge, and tight platforming is how you line up the perfect cast. Find your own rhythm — move, cast, move — and turn the room's hazards against your enemies.
Mora has a plan. "Hat", the hat that talks, has... suggestions. And of the horrors in the academy's depths, some are beginning to remember Gary's name. Triumph or die, friends and enemies alike will have things to say.
Gloomsday launches in Early Access with the first map and the first boss: 14 spells, 4 enemy types, the Grand Hall hub, a practice arena, and dialogue that progresses with your wins and losses — about 2–3 hours of gameplay today, growing with every update. The free demo is the practice arena: try every spell against the basic enemies. Want a hand in active development? Join the Discord and give your input. We read everything!

The spellcasting mechanic is unique and makes the combat fresh and fun, but there isn't a whole lot of content yet. There are a couple modes with time-based leaderboards. The "Adventure" mode has a variety of objectives to complete in addition to killing things, and provides quite a challenge, especially at the higher difficulties.
Gloomsday, benzersiz bir büyü yapma mekaniğine sahip, aksiyon dolu bir roguelite platform oyunudur. Büyü yapma kaynağınız çevrenizdeki dünyadadır; burada mana çubuğu yoktur! "Kasvet büyülerinizi" yaparken, sakin ama kasvetli manzaranın karanlık ve griye dönüştüğünü göreceksiniz... ama sihir çok geçmeden geri dönecek.

A very quaint, yet feel-good game. The aesthetic and art are both lovely, and it is simply fun to play. It offers a unique play-style that I have never seen before, and unique enemies with fun new abilities. However, there is not too much content in the game yet. But I am excited to see what's next! Would definitely recommend a play through!
4つのスペルでステージをクリアしていくアクションゲーム。開発中となっているが1年たったので今後どうなるかは不明。 レビュー時点で遊べるのはタイムアタックモードで、10ステージクリアまでのタイムが計測されるもの。タイムを気にしなければ10ステージクリアを目指すゲームと言える。 スペルは4種類装備でき、攻撃系や補助系、移動系などがある。敵を倒す必要がある都合上、1つは攻撃系を持っておく必要はあるが、敵殲滅だけではなく宝石を指定位置まで運ぶ、一定時間特定の場所に居続けるなどFPSで馴染み深いような複数のルールからなっているので幅は広い。…とはいえ、他の人のレビューにもある通り、初期装備が強すぎるので他が霞んでいる印象。 仕様としては良いものだと思った。開発中とはいえ、リーダーボードは機能しているのでタイムアタックしたい人は現時点でもやりあえる。
免费没中文 没成就 《幽暗末日》(Gloomsday) 《幽暗末日》是一款充满动作元素的类 Rogue 平台跳跃游戏,拥有独特的施法机制。你的施法能量源自周遭世界 —— 这里没有魔法值条!当你释放 “幽暗法术” 时,原本宁静却阴郁的场景会陷入灰暗…… 但这份魔力很快便会重现。
Gameplay with commentary: https://youtu.be/7s0wcFDzO7E It's a short and fun experience with a leaderboard. The content is pretty limited, there's not much to do, and seemingly only one level? There sin't much variation in the quests you'll need to complete, but overall I enjoyed it for the short time I played it.
Fun little platformer with an interesting spellcasting mechanic. The game doesn't have a lot of content yet, but it's fun to play, even if you're not good at platformers (like me), since some spells can help with platforming. I think the spellcasting mechanic is really fun and unique and it works really well in my opinion. The art style is cute and overall I think the game has a lot of potential to be really good once it's finished.
一風変わった2Dアクションゲームで、サクッと遊べる手軽さや独特のマナ管理方法などがとても面白いです。 一つ不満点があるとすればスペルのビルド幅が狭く、Firebolt、Charge Beam、Teleportが非常に強いため他のスペルを選ぶ余地があまり無いのが微妙に感じました。
