Unforgiving Hardcore

For those brave or foolish enough to dive deep into the devastated depths of an ancient citadel, there are unfathomable fortunes waiting for them. Players need to team up with friends and make sure to use courage, wit, and cunning. All of these to defeat monsters and discover mythical treasures. Plundering the riches though is the easy part. The hard part is getting out alive. The key is to find hidden escape routes.

Indeed, the world of Dark and Darker is all about high risks and high returns. A sound judgement can result in getting huge rewards, but the smallest of missteps can result in death and death carries a heavy penalty like all the loot obtained being lost.

Get Ready for Combat

With the game offering high immersion, players need to use their eyes and ears like they would in the real world. They'll have to target, track, and aim at the different challenges that they face. Helping them is the wide range of close combat weapons that each have unique patterns to learn and master. Knowing how to properly wield each weapon gives players that edge when it comes to surviving the harsh world.
