Kingdom of Night is an 80s-inspired isometric action RPG where coming-of-age drama meets cosmic horror.
When a satanic cult unleashes the ancient evil Baphomet on the small town of Miami, Arizona, high school student John must fight through a night of demonic chaos to rescue his friends before the town is lost forever.

Face the apocalypse alone or team up with a friend in local co-op to save Miami before the night ends.

Bosses do feel challenging, but never to a point of being impossible. My first encounter with a boss resulted in me eating pretty much all of my snacks for health. The more you explore, the more items you can find to assist in fights: it turns out there's a multitude of strong weapons out in the world. Once I figured that out, battles became a lot easier...
