About

Our Darker Purpose is a top-down, rogue-like action RPG that combines the ingenuity of genre-defining classics with the expansiveness and accessibility of modern day action adventure games. Each playthrough features a unique set of procedurally generated levels. Death is permanent, but your accomplishments earn you resources to buy lesson and upgrades in the afterlife… and your education lasts forever. Every game teaches you more about the Edgewood Home for Lost Children, the disappearance of the adults, and the darker purpose of the Administrators.

    Our Darker Purpose is fast-paced life-and-death frolic and provides many hours of delightfully difficult gameplay. An unforgiving game is nothing new, but the clever setting combined with the challenge and customization makes this title shine within its own niche category.

    Anche se lo sviluppatore Avidly Wild Games ha preso dichiaratamente spunto da altri titoli, si è sforzato però di costruire una propria identità sopra questa ottima base e, cosa ancora più importante, ci è riuscito efficacemente, facendo di Our Darker Purpose un titolo in grado di farsi giocare a fianco delle sue fonti di ispirazione.

    Dat je dat iedere keer blijft doen is vooral te danken aan de knap uitgewerkte en originele setting, gekoppeld aan een ervaringssysteem die iedere run door Edgewood de moeite waard maakt voor de keer erna. En daarna. Dat de controls vaker tegen dan meewerken is een kleine domper op een anderzijds eigenwijze en charmante aanvulling op het roguelite-genre.
