Grim Nights

Grim Nights condenses a strategy campaign into 13 days of nights getting steadily worse. You build up a village, gather resources, expand outward, dig into the underground for riches, and train soldiers for the inevitable undead hordes. The single-player run lasts roughly 7-8 hours, with the option to continue indefinitely once you survive.

Three different maps shape each playthrough. Villagers spawn with random faces, names, and abilities. Eleven unit types are available for training, 15 unique enemies cycle through the assault waves, and three unique boss encounters punctuate the longer arc. The whole thing leans on a blend of RTS pacing, tower defense waves, and village management.

The developer is upfront that this is a hard game. Whatever difficulty you pick, you will most likely lose a few times before assembling a strategy that works. Music links and developer notes are listed in the store page for those curious about the soundtrack.
