Ironmace has rolled out two updates for
Dark and Darker, which add balance adjustments, bug fixes, and new content like artifacts and mining items. It has been a while since
Dark and Darker sas been delisted from Steam due to copyright issues surrounding the game. However, that hasn't stopped Ironmace from releasing its game in other ways and working to improve the overall experience.
Dark and Darker has continually received updates after its release in early access, enhancing the gameplay with hotfixes and balance changes.
Dark and Darker was first released on Steam, but it has been removed from the platform after Ironmace received a cease and desist from Nexon.
The developers have bumped into a series of legal issues following Nexon's allegations accusing
Dark and Darkder of using stolen assets. At the time of writing,
Dark and Darker is not available for download on Steam. Players must purchase this dungeon crawler game from its official website or a subscription-based storefront known as Chaf Games. It's pretty unlikely that
Dark and Darker will return to Steam anytime soon.
Dark and Darker has received two updates that include balance adjustments, bug fixes, and new content like attributes, perks, and spells. In addition to addressing some issues, the first update brought seven emotes, four artifacts, and new Royal Coffins to the dungeons. The Bard class has been reworked to make it more gear-oriented, new mining items have been added, and all weapon damage has been adjusted for a better combat experience. Also, a new set of perks and spells have been added to Warlocks, which could make them more powerful than other
classes in Dark and Darker.
This major update has modified Barbarian and Fighter's faces and added new layouts to the Goblin Caves map pool. It brought some buffs to
Dark and Darker's Rogue class, reducing its Hide, PenetratingShot and Cutthroat cooldown. The game has also received a hotfix update on September 28, which include only a few balance changes that improve the overall experience.
Dark and Darker is a first-person RPG with a traditional class system, allowing players to choose both melee and ranged characters. The game requires them to think strategically to survive in dungeons and catacombs filled with vicious creatures. It puts vital importance on versatility, encouraging players to build teams with different classes to unleash their full potential.
Dark and Darker is a unique combination of roguelike elements and PvP combat.
