Dark and Darkerer
Over the past few months, there have been rumblings in the darkness. Dark and Darker, the mixture of a dungeon crawler, battle royale, and fantasy RPG, has been blowing up on Twitch during its playtest. This week, a new playtest is scheduled with a little shake-up.
Thus far, Dark and Darker has been mainly a multiplayer game. It has been noted by players how difficult and challenging it is to progress while playing on your own. That may be changing soon. In a cryptic message from developer Ironmace, “the entrance doesn’t appear big enough for a party,” solo mode is on the way.
As the game is still in alpha, this may be part of a balancing test between classes or an exploration into a singleplayer mode. It will be interesting to see how solo players fare in a game designed to be co-operative.
