Grim Nights

Lead a village trying to survive 13 days of attacks by the undead. Keep the settlement running and prepare its defenses as the threat grows.

During the day, gather resources, build and expand, assign villagers to work, and explore underground for riches. At night, defend the village from enemy waves with soldiers and fortified positions.

Villagers have randomized names, faces, and abilities, so their traits shape how you assign them. Train from 11 unit types and adapt your strategy across three maps; after the campaign, you can continue playing.

Players who enjoy the game often praise its tense mix of resource planning and nighttime defense, along with the challenge of learning from failed runs and adjusting their strategy. Some also appreciate its pixel-art presentation and compact, replayable runs. Other reviewers find the difficulty frustrating or the unit controls and pathfinding too cumbersome.
