Grimwake
A downloadable game for Windows and Android
HOLD THE YARD.
BREAK THE HORDE.
Windows x64 · Early playtest · 50 waves · 6 weapon families
The shipping yard is overrun. Keep moving, pick your shots, and fight through waves of the infected. GRIMWAKE combines top-down zombie survival, weapon progression, and five spell actions in a quarantined industrial harbor.
YOUR GROUND. THEIR NUMBERS.
- Hold out for 50 waves. Face ordinary infected, acid spitters, explosive bloaters, and a mutant boss.
- Build your arsenal. Unlock and progress through pistol, SMG, assault rifle, shotgun, sniper, and sawed-off grenade launcher.
- Turn the fight with spells. Daze enemies with Lumen, channel Burn, push the horde with Force Wave, protect yourself with Barrier, and unleash Nova.
- Keep moving. Dash, use precise aim, and make room before the horde closes in.
