Dark and Darker Miscellany
Anyone who has ever witnessed gameplay from the installation Elder Scrolls, specifically Skyrim, you will definitely be immediately familiar with the appearance of this game. Yep, you could really say that this game is an HD remake!
Hey, but don't be mistaken! Bethesda has no part in the development or design efforts! Iron Mace (a developer from South Korea) is responsible for the title 'Skyrim KW'.
The developer first announced the game in 2023, coinciding with the Steam Next Fest event held in February. They planned to release it in the second quarter of the same year.
But it turns out that the plan had to be delayed. Right before its release, Iron Mace stumbled upon a legal case that required them to postpone the game's release to the market for a while.
The use of the term “responsible” is also appropriate. This is because there are parties who feel that Iron Mace has violated the copyright of the creation of Dark and Darker by taking it from a certain source.
After a long and drawn-out case, the developer was finally able to maneuver quite well in avoiding the various cases brought against him.
And then in June 2024, this game managed to come back and reappear on Steam. Especially for the platform Windows you know, players can also get it via Epic and the Blacksmith installer.
Dark and Darker Details
The most contrasting differences between the Dark and Darker and Skyrim games actually only lie in the coding, graphics, and plot. While in terms of gameplay, features, genre, etc., these two games are really 'exactly the same'.
As a game that came much later, Iron Mace designed this game using Unreal Engine 5. This is what makes the game design look fresher.
And one more thing, the existence of a free-to-play scheme also applies to Dark and Darker! Yep, Iron Mace doesn't charge a single cent for this game: typical of developers from Asia/eastern countries.
However, there is still a paid scheme for those 'sultans' who want more in their game. Those who pay will get some cosmetics, items, and various other exclusive equipment.
What is the gameplay like?
Dark and Darker is a first-person perspective game that combines the dungeon crawler and role-playing genres with a medieval fantasy setting.
Not only that, this game also combines elements from other game systems such as Dungeons & Dragons, roguelikes, and multiplayer systems. Various contemporary game titles have indeed made this a mandatory standard today.
As is common with titles of a similar genre, at the start of the game players can choose one of nine available character classes: barbarian, bard, cleric, druid, fighter, ranger, rogue, warlock and wizard.
But of the many genres above, this game carries more PvPvE elements (player versus player versus environment). This will provide an opportunity for players to engage in more interactive gameplay.
Some of them are like fighting monsters, searching for items (farming), scavenging for treasure (looting), etc. This needs to be done while remaining alert to potential threats from other players!
Not to forget, there is also a bit of survival element: players will lose all their loot if they are killed! Such a touch is perfect for an Elder Scrolls-style game like this.
So how about it Vicigers, are you interested in this Skyrim-style game? If so, just install it via Steam, while it's free!
