A demo for Dark and Darker has somehow moved into the top 10 list on Steam.
,"an unforgiving hardcore fantasy FPS dungeon PvPvE adventure," which has managed to become one of the top ten most-played games on Steam.
That sounds very much like my jam, so I installed the demo and, as is my way, leapt immediately into the action with no character setup, instruction-reading, or anything else that might have prepared me for what lay ahead. Finding myself thrown into a grim, crumbling dungeon—"classic" definitely applies on that front—I quickly came across another player doing battle with a group of skeletons.
It looks like a conventional dungeon crawler, and in many ways it plays like one. There are six classes to choose from, each with their own abilities and power—fighter, wizard, ranger, barbarian, cleric, and rogue—and you can opt for first-person melee or ranged combat, or magic, which is powerful but slow and cumbersome. Stealth plays an important role in surviving, too.
But a slow game of exploration and adventure isn't in the cards. As a timer ticks down, a"Death Swarm" closes on players in a familiar circle, slowly but surely constricting their movements within the dungeon and forcing survivors into contact with one another. As the adventure nears its end, portals can be opened that will enable players to either escape or delve deeper, risking their earnings for potentially greater rewards.
