About Gloomvex

About This Game

Gloomvex is a dark sci-fi arena roguelite where you face increasingly brutal enemy waves, corrupted Vex entities, and powerful bosses.

Choose one of 10 playable characters, expand your arsenal, collect chips, improve your stats, and create new builds run after run. Every run grows more intense, every decision matters – and the Vex corruption continues to spread.

Gloomvex screenshot 2

The arena is no longer a clean training ground. Ruined sci-fi structures, wreckage, smoke, and damaged machinery surround the combat zone while increasingly dangerous enemies rush toward you.

Fight through wave-based survival gameplay, dodge attacks, collect experience and gold, upgrade your weapons, and survive for as long as possible.

Increasing difficulty with every wave
Enemies with different roles and movement patterns

Builds, Chips, and Meta Progression

Gloomvex combines fast arena action with multiple progression systems.

Collect and equip upgrade chips
Use boss cores to unlock new characters
Purchase permanent upgrades in the Upgrade Shop
Improve stats such as damage, health, movement speed, XP gain, gold gain, crit chance, crit damage, and armor
Choose new upgrades for your current run when leveling up
Discover augments, capsules, and additional run modifiers

This makes every run a different mix of character, weapons, upgrades, chips, and decisions.

Capsules and Arena Events

During a run, destructible Capsules can appear in the arena. They contain random effects that can influence the fight.

Possible effects include:

XP bursts
Plasma explosions
Healing fields
Stasis fields
Hazard fields
Chain lightning effects
Temporary drones
Free level-up menus

Capsules are not a safe reward – they are unstable Vex technology. Some help you, while others change the battle in dangerous ways.
