Town of Night (2016)

Town of Night plunges players into a dark and mysterious world as Corr Algrimm, a boastful yet capable adventurer seeking answers to the encroaching monster menace. This first-person dungeon crawler channels the spirit of classic titles like Shining in the Darkness and Wizardry, while incorporating loot-driven progression reminiscent of Diablo. Players will embark on a journey through a unique town built on monster hunting tourism, assembling a diverse party of up to six unique heroes to delve into perilous dungeons. Strategic combat, meticulous map-making using ink and paper, and the constant threat of permadeath define the challenging yet rewarding experience, offering a focused 5-10 hour campaign. Back To Basics Gaming excels at distilling the core essence of beloved genres into engaging and accessible experiences, and Town of Night is a prime example of this philosophy. The game’s commitment to a classic dungeon crawling loop, combined with its engaging premise and emphasis on player agency in exploration and party composition, perfectly aligns with the developer’s ethos. It captures the strategic depth and sense of discovery that defined early RPGs, making it a standout title that showcases Back To Basics Gaming' talent for crafting compelling retro-inspired adventures.
