In a paragraph
Against the Dark is an online co-op dungeon brawler in the arcade tradition. Pick one of eight heroes, carry fire into the dark and fight through seven acts of crypts, coasts, caves and worse, with up to seven friends. Then see how long you can hold the catacombs in The Long Night, a game of its own with the same heroes. One friend hosts and shares a room code; everyone else joins.
