Friday night in 1987. A quiet Arizona town. A satanic cult with some seriously questionable plans. Kingdom of Night has arrived on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch, priced at £16.74 on the Xbox Store.

This is an isometric action RPG from Friends of Safety and DANGEN Entertainment, where teenage drama takes a decidedly supernatural turn and one high school student finds himself fighting to save an entire town.

At A Glance

• Game: Kingdom of Night

• Price: £16.74 (Xbox Store)
• Genre: Isometric Action RPG

One Very Long Night In Miami, Arizona

The trouble begins when a satanic cult unleashes Baphomet, an ancient evil, on the small town of Miami, Arizona. High school student John is suddenly caught up in a demonic invasion, with friends to rescue and a community facing destruction.

Kingdom of Night leans into its 1980s setting, mixing the familiar details of small-town life with cosmic horror and dark fantasy. You’ll explore a handcrafted version of Miami, moving between suburban streets, local hangouts and sprawling underground lairs as the scale of the nightmare becomes clear.

There’s also a coming-of-age story running through the chaos. John isn’t a seasoned demon hunter arriving to save the day – he’s a teenager trying to make it through an ordinary night that has become anything but ordinary.

Five Classes, One Demonic Problem

John’s approach to the apocalypse is yours to shape, with five character classes available: Barbarian, Knight, Rogue, Necromancer and Sorcerer. Each offers a different way to tackle the creatures taking over Miami, while expansive skill trees allow players to develop their preferred build.

Weapons, armour, powerful loot and unique equipment provide further opportunities to customise your character. There’s plenty to consider as you take on the forces of Baphomet, particularly with the game’s Demon Generals waiting to be challenged.

But rather than forcing players down a fixed sequence, Kingdom of Night lets you explore Miami freely and tackle its Demon Generals in whichever order you choose. That freedom should give the adventure a more personal feel, with the stories of the town’s residents offering another reason to investigate beyond the next fight.

You can also take on the entire adventure alone or bring a friend along for two-player local co-op. Sometimes the end of the world is best handled with a little help.

An 80s Nightmare Worth Staying Up For?

Kingdom of Night has a distinctive combination of ingredients. Its isometric action RPG combat, character progression and loot sit alongside a story that draws on teenage life, 1980s nostalgia and some decidedly unpleasant supernatural events.

With a whole town to explore, five classes to experiment with and demonic bosses that can be tackled in your own order, Kingdom of Night looks ready to turn one Friday evening into a very memorable fight for survival. Just don’t expect Miami to look quite the same by Saturday morning.

You’ll find the Xbox Store capable of delivering a Kingdom of Night Xbox download for you. It’s also on PlayStation and Nintendo Switch.
