I spent several more hours diving into Dark And Darker Gold the Forgotten Castle with my pals over the weekend and I'm definitely experiencing a familiar PvP glee whether I'm winning or losing. Proximity chat can sometimes mean making pacts with other teams or just rolling real hard on an overly cocky wizard wearing only his underpants while slinging fireballs. You know the type. I still take issue with the exfil portals only taking one teammate at a time out of the dungeon, but the unusual constraint has created some really edge of my seat moments while my team watches our last member snag their nail-biting exit.
You can download the demo over on Steam and start making your own way through the dungeon halls until Thursday.
Dark and Darker proves extraction shooters don't have to be shooters at all
Dark and Darker is a PvPvE extraction game with my name written all over it.

I've never much liked FPSes, but I've put up with them for years because what I do like are team deathmatches and battle royales and PvPvE extraction. These formats are almost exclusively found in shooters, so I've resigned myself to Dark And Darker Gold for sale Warzone 2 with my crew even if gunplay will never be my forte. Dark and Darker—an old school style RPG dungeon crawler with sword and board combat, magic, class levelling, looting, and is also a co-op extraction game—was made specifically for me. And not just me, evidently, as its open alpha is currently one of the most-played games on Steam.
Dark and Darker calls itself "unforgiving" and "hardcore" first and foremost and after I immediately died to sword-wielding skeletons in my first few runs before ever having the privilege of being killed by a player, I'm inclined to agree. (The tutorial does note that a lower, "normal" difficulty is not yet in the alpha.)
