Brutal arena roguelite with 10 heroes, 11 bosses, and deep progression. Fuse weapons to legendary tiers, stack chips for deadly builds, and master crits. Endless waves grow stronger every minute. Death is certain. Survival is the challenge.
Gloomvex
Steam
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.

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.

Gloomvex features 20 weapons, including 10 base weapons and 10 powerful Epic hybrid weapons.
Upgrade your weapons during a run and use the Vex Synthesis system to fuse two Rare weapons into a new Epic hybrid weapon.

Find powerful combinations, change your playstyle, and use the right weapon at the right time.










Choose from 10 different characters, each with their own stats, starting weapons, and playstyles.
Unlock characters, test new starting weapons, and find your preferred build.










Face 11 bosses with unique attack patterns, dangerous mechanics, and escalating intensity.
Every boss is a milestone in your run – and a new opportunity to push your progression forward.

Gloomvex combines fast arena action with multiple progression systems.
This makes every run a different mix of character, weapons, upgrades, chips, and decisions.
During a run, destructible Capsules can appear in the arena. They contain random effects that can influence the fight.
Possible effects include:
Capsules are not a safe reward – they are unstable Vex technology. Some help you, while others change the battle in dangerous ways.
