Elowen Found at the edge of death by the lost Lord himself, Elowen was a human child spared by a final, forbidden act of mercy. Turned into a vampire to survive the night, she was raised alongside Roderic, not as a subject, but as family. Where Roderic charges forward, she watches the shadows, reminding him of what was lost and what must not be forgottenEdrath Born of Master Goldrath’s bloodline, Edrath was born unable to walk, yet gifted with a mind that surpassed most vampires. Though physically fragile, his command of arcane knowledge and ancient vampiric lore is unrivaled. To Roderic, Edrath is more than an advisor or mage. He is a brother. Sharp tongued, honest, and fearless, Edrath believes true strength lies not in the body, but in will and understanding.✨ 11 New Abilities11 new abilities have been added, expanding build variety and combat options.These new abilities open up fresh build paths, stronger synergies, and more ways to adapt your playstyle from run to run.🛠️ Bug Fixes & Quality ImprovementsFixed several issues reported by the community.Improved overall stability and performance in certain scenarios.Minor visual polish, VFX adjustments, and UI readability improvements.Thanks again for playing and as always, we’d love to hear your feedback!

  Major Update v1.1: New Endgame Buildings, Set Items, and Expanded Talent Tree

  Hello everyone! We’re excited to share a major update that adds new long term progression options and more build variety to Night Swarm. 1) Two New Endgame Buildings: Ore Exchange Machine & Ore EaterAs more of you reached the endgame, we noticed a common issue: many players were starting to sit on excess endgame resources, and some currencies were gradually losing their meaning once the main progression milestones were completed. We wanted to make sure your late-game runs always feel rewarding and that your hard earned resources keep contributing to your long-term power.That’s why we’ve added two new endgame buildings to give your extra currencies more value. By investing your endgame resources here, you’ll be able to purchase permanent stat upgrades to strengthen your character over time.2) New Set Item SystemWe’ve also seen that players who push deeper especially in Endless Mode need more ways to scale and specialize their builds. Once you reach a certain point, survival and damage often come down to having more meaningful item choices and stronger build identities, not just “more of the same stats.”To support deeper runs and more variety, we’ve introduced a brand new Set Item system! Collect and combine set pieces to unlock powerful bonuses and create more specialized builds. Our goal here is to give you exciting “chase” items and clearer build directions as you progress.3) Expanded Talent TreeFinally, we wanted to ensure that progression doesn’t feel “done” too quickly. So we’ve expanded the Talent Tree with new talents and more options, giving you more ways to customize your playstyle and progression. This update is designed to keep long term growth meaningful, while letting you experiment with different builds more easily. What’s NextWe’re already working on the next wave of content and improvements, planned for February:New playable charactersNew active relics and fused relicsProfessional studio voice-overs (we’re replacing the current AI VO with professional...
