The WhatsNext verdict
For Players who enjoy fast, replayable platforming with a hand-drawn look and arcade-style runs.: Each run sends Sydney or Stanley skydiving through atmospheric layers and across dragon backs on a perilous route to Earth. Tradeoff: Procedural routes and repeated runs may feel less satisfying if you want a fixed, story-led journey.

What you are walking into
EarthNight is an illustrated epic 2D platformer about the dragon apocalypse, and a love letter to classic arcade games. EarthNight is a procedurally generated platformer that takes place in a dystopian future just after the dragon apocalypse. Humans have been exiled to space, forced to live in orbit above the planet. Our heroes, Sydney and Stanley have had enough! They’ve decided to skydive back down to the planet, taking out as many dragons as they can along the way. Each run begins in space. You must traverse five layers of the atmosphere on the perilous journey down to Earth alternating between skydiving and running on the backs of dragons. Your path to EarthNight will always be different and riddled with danger.
