About Into the Evernight
Into the Evernight is a retro-styled tactical RPG developed by Basoosh that dropped on PC on September 15 2025. Set in a world where darkness is consuming the last sources of light the game focuses on strategic combat and branching narratives. You play as a survivor navigating a grid-based world where every decision impacts the story’s direction. With its pixel art visuals and turn-based gameplay it leans into classic RPG tropes while emphasizing player agency. The single-player campaign is all about tough choices, sacrificing allies managing resources and adapting tactics as the environment grows harsher. It’s a game for folks who like their strategy deep and their endings variable.
Gameplay
Combat in Into the Evernight revolves around positioning resource management and light-based mechanics. Each battle plays out on a grid with units taking turns to move and attack. Light sources, like torches or magical orbs, are crucial since enemies spawn in darkness and weaken in bright areas. You’ll spend sessions planning routes to maximize light coverage while conserving limited tools. Skills and gear matter but so do environmental hazards like collapsing terrain or spreading shadow. Missions often force you to prioritize objectives, saving civilians or securing supplies, adding replayability. The controls are tight with mouse-based targeting but the game’s difficulty spikes mid-campaign when light becomes scarce and enemies adapt to your tactics.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate Into the Evernight 8.7 out of 10 with 73% completing the main story. Average playtime is 21 hours though some branches push it to 30+. Community moods are split between curiosity (42%) and determination (31%) but frustration lingers at 15% during late-game resource crunches. Critics praise the “tense and rewarding” combat and “choices that carry weight” but note repetitive enemy types. Achievement data shows 50+ trophies with an 82% average unlock rate. One review calls it “a masterclass in moral dilemmas” while another gripes about “grindy early hours.” The 83% completion rate for post-game content suggests strong replay value.
PlayPile's Take
Into the Evernight is a $34.99 bargain if you crave tactical depth and branching narratives. It shines for RPG fans who enjoy calculating moves and facing the consequences of their actions. While the price is fair the 21-hour average playtime means it’s not a long-term commitment, though the 30% who push further get more mileage. Skip if you hate resource scarcity mechanics or prefer open worlds. With 50+ achievements and a 73% completion rate it’s a solid pick for strategy lovers. Just don’t expect a cakewalk.
