About the story
One night, in 198X, in the small town of Watford, Arizona, a satanic cult unwittingly summons the ancient evil, Baphomet, catapulting the town into chaos. John, awoken by the kidnapping of his neighbor, sets out into the night to fight back against the demonic invasion and rescue his friends before it's too late... Kingdom of Night is an 80’s themed isometric, story-driven, action-RPG with an expansive, interconnected map and open-ended quest system. It is a game about coming of age, cosmic horror, and true love. The player takes control of John as his adventure leads him through an hour by hour experience of what may be everyone's last night on Earth. He will encounter unearthly evils, Demon lords, afflicted townsfolk, high school bullies, and a torrent of engaging, serial-like side stories all nested in a larger-than-life fantasy that brings the ultimate evil to a neighborhood near you. Players can choose their own class, customize their abilities, battle nightmarish creatures, and collect unique items and equipment in order to infiltrate the massive lairs of demon lords that have taken over the town.

Critic Reviews
GameMAG
ByKingdom of Night offers a nostalgic adventure, but its experience is undermined by repetitive gameplay and balance issues. The developers are actively patching the game, so significant improvements within a few months are a distinct possibility.
The Games Machine
By Paolo BesserKingdom of Night is an isometric hack-and-slash RPG that relies on its '80s setting and effective, if very dark, pixel art. The gameplay is solid, quest-rich, and technically polished, though not very original and weighed down by frequent respawns and consistently gloomy environments. Progression is satisfying and there's good variety, but the pacing may dip if you're not into the genre. A well-made, straightforward indie title.
RPG Fan
By RPG FanA 1980s-themed ARPG, dripping in evocative themes and tight combat, with some UI and story drawbacks.
BioGamer Girl
By Alissa WorleyKingdom of Night refines a bold premise into a near‑complete experience; an emotionally charged, neon‑soaked night that combines tactical ARPG combat with cinematic storytelling and memorable set pieces. The demo shows confident design across combat, class depth, worldbuilding, and audio‑visual identity, leaving only a few polish items between a great game and a near‑classic.
Pizza Fria
By Matheus JenevainKingdom of Night is a very competent action RPG that manages to deliver on many of the things it sets out to do, both in terms of gameplay and in terms of visuals and narrative proposals.
