Darksburg

While the idea of Darksburg is amazing and the game is worked out great in both graphics and gameplay, the game does have the shortcoming that the only thing you can do is escape Darksburg over and over again. We would rather see more towns to explore for a bigger amount of content in the game. Each run will approximately take around an hour and after this, you can only start a new run where you will encounter the same enemies, perform the same objectives and defeat the same boss.

Darksburg is an exciting, dark roguelite with tons of replayability. The cast of playable characters is diverse in their play styles and these are only enhanced with Team Experience power ups and the Curios. The setting is beautiful and lush – far more than I expected out of a procedurally generated experience. The AI companions are good enough to keep you alive but the game really shines in Co-Op with other players.

They’re in a unique position to offer a game with high replayability and a rich story as they continue forward through the early access period. The base mechanics of the game have been ironed out with an interesting cast to execute them. Now let’s throw in a little more spice and kick things up a notch.

As harsh as it may seem, “tedious” is a good way of describing Darksburg. Its gameplay is competent and its visuals are fine but it doesn’t really offer anything you won’t find better elsewhere. Fundamentally, its multiplayer focus is totally thrown out of the window when there’s no one to play with on any servers. Much like a zombie apocalypse, Darksburg is lonely, difficult and I probably wouldn’t recommend trying it out unless you really, really want to.
