Fight Back The Night is a 2d, pixel-art, action-adventure game in which you must use the powers of your deity to burn the darkness from the realm.
Fight through a series of encounters, lighting beacons and protecting them from a variety of monsters of darkness - slowly making your way through your deity's kingdom, then into the wilds to fight back the darkness.
Utilize an overworld map to travel between levels, even going back to previous areas that have seen a resurgence in the darkness in your absence - playing a tougher version of older levels with late-game enemies and abilities.
Travel to various shops - one to enhance your devotion to your deity Syr, the Lord of Light and upgrade fire-based abilities - or potentially embrace some elements of the encroaching darkness to get specific buffs against your foes.
