About game
Fans of tense survival challenges will find their new addiction within the flooded ruins of Svetoch Guardian of the Tide. You take control of a lone lantern keeper tasked with protecting a decaying lighthouse against relentless oceanic threats. Movement controls your light, which automatically strikes nearby monsters while you dodge incoming attacks. Gathering light shards lets you level up quickly to select combat modifiers that shift the flow of every run. Svetoch Guardian of the Tide demands sharp reflexes as you navigate nine distinct waves of encroaching darkness. Permanent embers earned from your sessions fuel workshop upgrades to strengthen your chosen character for future attempts. Unlocking new keepers and filling your bestiary adds significant depth to this roguelite experience. You can play this browser-based arcada right now without any downloads or installs.

You can also drag the mouse on the field to move. Collect gold shards to level up and green shards to heal. Choose one upgrade each time you level up. Survive nine tides and defeat the final guardian. Each finished run awards embers for permanent upgrades. A voluntary rewarded ad after a run can grant extra embers.
