About Every Day We Fight
Every Day We Fight drops you into a city caught in a looping time fracture, where an alien invasion threatens humanity. Your small band of resistance fighters retain experience and gear between loops, letting you gradually build stronger civilians into heroes.
Combat is turn‑based and highly tactical: you aim each shot, consider ballistics, and use unique reflex actions to interrupt foes or protect allies. With dozens of skills, over a hundred gun parts, and multiple difficulty settings, every encounter can be approached in many ways.
01 / THE GUIDE
Loop‑Based Progression
Each new loop begins with all previously earned experience, skills, and discovered equipment already available, allowing you to carry forward your hard‑won advantages. This persistence lets you experiment without losing progress, as any item found in one loop can be equipped from the start of the next.
The loop mechanic also ties into the narrative: defeating Rifter leaders shifts the loop forward, moving the Forever War toward its conclusion. Failure does not erase your growth; death simply starts a new loop with your accumulated upgrades intact.
- Focus early loops on gathering diverse gear to broaden your loadout options later.
- Use each loop to test different skill trees, knowing the experience will carry over.

Turn‑Based Tactical Combat
Combat unfolds in turns where both allies and enemies act, and positioning, aim, and reaction time determine hit chances. Ballistics consider firing angles and obstructions, making cover and line of sight crucial.
Each fighter possesses unique reflex actions that can interrupt enemy movement, assist allied kills, or evade fire. Deciding when to reserve reflexes for defense or use them offensively shapes each encounter.
- Plan moves that give you line of sight while minimizing exposure to enemy fire.
- Watch enemy positioning to time reflex interrupts for maximum impact.

Multiple difficulty modes let you set the game’s challenge level, from accessible to demanding. Iron Man mode and Forever War mode provide heightened stakes for players seeking a rigorous test.
These modes are aimed at players who truly want a challenge, offering a more demanding experience than the standard settings.
- Start on a moderate setting to learn mechanics before tackling Iron Man.
- Use higher difficulties to gauge the effectiveness of your custom loadouts.

- Prioritize missions that reward skills aligning with your long‑term build.
