Coreward is a tactical core-defense RPG that plays in your browser. You summon characters, place them in patrol zones around the core, and hold the last warm light against the dark.
Defense in every direction
There are no lanes. Enemies come from everywhere, and the patrol zones you assign are your wall. Spread coverage so no side of the core is left open, and keep your toughest frontliners close to the core.
Energy
Energy powers your team. Some characters generate it over time; others earn it when enemies die in their zone. Support characters often trade damage for Energy generation and healing, so a balanced team usually has at least one.
Elemental reactions
Status effects combine on the battlefield:
- Wet sets enemies up for lightning: chain-lightning characters jump between Wet enemies.
- Chill slows enemies, and some characters spread it across an area.
- Burn deals damage over time, and some characters spread it with every hit.
Overlap a Water character with Lightning, Ice or Nature and the battlefield itself combos.
Characters and rarity
There are 61 characters, in rarities from Common through Rare, Epic and Legendary to Mythic. Roles range from frontline walls and berserkers to snipers, healers and Energy generators.
Evolutions and ascension
Every character has its own branching evolution tree. Choices are permanent for that copy, but each copy you own chooses independently, so two copies of the same character can play very differently. When available, ascension offers three more paths.
Team setup
Set your team on the Team screen before battle, and equip structures in your loadout slots. Your account carries your roster to any device; there's also a save code for moving a save, and offline play if the account service is unreachable.
Seasons
Coreward runs in seasons with a reward track. It's free to play, with an optional premium pass for the season.
