Es ist ein Rogue-like. Wenn man stirbt, bevor man ein Level abgeschlossen hat, ist alles wieder weg. Man fängt sowieso immer wieder von Level 1 an. So viel ist klar. Mir ist das Spiel aber deutlich zu schwierig, selbst auf der untersten Stufe hab ich es nicht über die dritte Karte hinaus geschafft. Und durch den Rogue-like-Teil sehe ich auch keine Chance, wie ich es schaffen soll, da ich ja nicht höher gelevelt irgendwo ankommen kann.

Do not buy this if you wanna play with someone that is in another Region or has a slightly high ping. The Netcode on this game is horrid. Besides that it is a fun game, but a co-op game with bad netcode is just no fun! Regret to have bought this.

The game is obviously in early Access but heres my take on it after a few rounds:

Its alot of fun but only if your team chooses to actually play as a team. running in solo wont really help and people should know that.

Movement, abilities and such are good and balanced so far, although im really looking forward to additional characters and maps.

All in all the game has a great atmosphere, easy to learn gameplay but also alot of challenges for tryhards.

Gut durchdachtes Koop-Spiel.
Ohne Gutes Team Spiel wird das nix, was Koop halt so ausmacht ;)

+ Tolle Grafik
+ einfache Steuerung
+ Teamgeist erforderlich!

Die Skillung erfolgt durch Slots die man mit ansteigenden Level freischaltet und eine Fähigkeit hineinpackt.
Dazu kann man sich vor jeder runde noch mit Items durch Shop Ausrüsten (Tränke usw.)

Negativ ist (und dazu kann der Entwickler nichts), sind Spieler die noch nie was von Teamgeist und Team Play gehört haben. Die Sinnlos drauf losrennen, Klopfen und in einer tour Sterben.
Dies Führt zu Frust da man bei Darksburg wirklich ohne Team aufgeschmissen ist!
Dies merkt man bereits wenn einer von vier Mitgliedern stirbt und man ihn nicht schnell wiederbelebt, da Gegner(horden) Pausenlos Re-Spawnen bis man zum nächsten Spielabschnitt der Karte gelangt.

Finde es daher richtig gut! Ein Koop-Spiel das wirklich darauf ausgerichtet ist im Team zu Arbeiten! So gesehen ist das Negative also gar nicht so Negativ, sondern zum lernen ;)

So far, I really like this game. Its fun, has nice artstyle and the gameplay feels pretty much alright.
Sometimes it can take a while till you find a match. Buuuut thats alright the game released 3 hours ago :P

I saw some negative reviews where people have complained about some things, it is an early access game so of course there are some thinks that might be annoying, its not a full game release. I'm looking forward to the future of this game.

VERDICT:
This game isn't perfect by all means but I understand why this is fun to certain people, especially if you're playing with friends, it tends to get very repetitive on your own, this wouldn't have lasted very long if I was playing solo. There's various difficulties to suite your skill level and to push you to your limits but there's only 3 levels and 1 boss which leaves very little content to go on. It's a very mixed bag and with how things stand on how the game has been left, it's not worth a positive review and certainly not worth the asking price.
Total Score = 48/100.

Highest ascension achieved: 7/10
I stopped because the enemy balance is completely out of whack, because several power runes(poison, fire) don't actually seem to work, because on some of the static maps, hazards are placed inside each other in such a way to instant kill you(fire towers, cemetery) , because at the end of the day there's really not a lot to do.

You run one of a handful of variations of the same maps, collecting two types of loot container that are effectively the same, fighting hordes of fun enemies, occasionally broken up by a potentially run-ending suicide rush of an unstoppable wave of bombers. Like XCOM 2, the map itself stays the same but the path traveled does not. Enemy spawn points seem to be semi-random as well.
Of the enemies, quite a few are fun but the later ones all are just unfair or boring. The purple artificer has crazy high damage for an enemy that can outrange the players and outspeed them by default, the suicide rushes get tedious and downright annoying, the Fire Witch and Raven Master are wildly inconsistent in how they perform.
Of the traps, none of them are truly exciting or fun to me. The floor traps are bog standard with incredible sensitivity and high damage output, the (not actually because related perks are useless) poison towers just tend to get rushed through or jumped past, the (not actually because related perks are useless) fire towers are ridiculously unfair in their placement and damage outputs. There's one spot on Cemetery where FIVE of the towers are loosely placed inside of each other to create a tower that can one-shot most players. The worst part is that this particular bottleneck can have an objective that prevents you from doing anything about it, even putting you at risk.
The final boss is always a pushover, no matter which flavor of NG+ you reach. Well, up to 7 at least, as that's as far as I've seen.
The bugs are a real problem. One friend just can't connect to me, another friend crashes whenever the rain effect comes on screen, I myself have had bugs where my abilities will get consumed but I won't actually use the ability, enemies will detect you through walls (and as a result prepare for you, not fun when a whole wave of spearmen is reared up and ready for you before you round a corner), and one time I had an objective item that just wouldn't spawn.
If this game wasn't so freakin' rough around the edges I'd be able to recommend it. If it wasn't so blatantly cruel I'd have well over 100 hours in it. I'm only 8 achievements off from having the game 100% and as much as I want to get there, I just can't bring myself to slog through another 10 hours of this game to beat one character's NG+ paths. One out of four. I'd have to do it all over again for well over 30 hours to beat the game completely. There's just not enough content to justify that much of a time sink, especially with how rough it is.

Recommend this game with a few caveats. I played it for a while however it is essentially l4d roguelike. It allows for coop mode with 3 other players or with AI bot. The maps are large and some what randomized. if you play through several you will likely see the repetition. The levels are generally hard and get harder when you play with ascension level. The character upgrades are earned during the game play which go away when you die. The game has all the right stuff if it did more with it and added rpg element.

It's Shiro, they always deliver, it's just a matter of time until this gets fixed to the point where it's best experience for the gamers.

I'd like to see more stats being leveled, some type of hero skill tree, the perks feature is kind of okay, but it may as well be incorporated into a skill tree of some sort, like other arpgs. i'd also like to see a minimap on the corner so you can stay aware of where you are at a particular point.
Lastly of course, itemization , finding loot and gear and equipping it.

This game just feels awful to play, the javelin enemies predict your movement and will shoot you through doors before you even know they are there. As a melee character they predict you are moving towards them and quickly run away. Almost all of the health items are only temporary, which again feels terrible and needlessly punishing. It has so much potential but needs a TON more work to actually be enjoyable.

While I simply adore Northgard by Shiro, this is... well... it looks more like a side-project of someone from there.

You have 5 Survivors, each with set of skills, ultimate and available upgrades (both in-game, so you level up your characted during your run, as well as global ones, so received for currency gotten from each game). There is a tank, a healing/supporting off-tank, a self-healing off-tank, dps with crossbow and dps-ish with potions and poisons.
hordes of zombies and maps generated in exactly the same way. The difficulty settings (1 to 10) changes number of zombies and special ones, so-called Revenants, additionally adding some negative effects to all players. Each game gives a bit different side-quests (like instead of destroying a gate, you need to clean all enemies near the gate), but overall if you played once, you already know what's waiting for you.

Even though they try changing some elements, all-in-all what you do is: finish the game on lvl1, buy some perks, finish on lvl2, buy some perks, finish on lvl3, ..., finish on lvl10, buy some perks, repeat till you have all perks. Nothing else.

I got baited by developer name, paid full price, then after 2 weeks or so this was added to HumbleBundle, thus now you can buy it for 4-5$. There are barely any updates to the game, very hard to find a 4P team, as majority of people left. Can't recommend the game to anyone in current form and it doesn't seem a better one is in works.

I wouldn't blame you if you saw the 'version 1.0' banner and thought it was a joke. This game is startlingly barren when it comes to content. There is a single combination of maps that you will encounter across every run. While there may be minor variations in what order the tiles spawn in or where the enemies spawn in, every run will be similar repetitions of the same areas, monsters, and gameplay loops. While the characters and art come together cohesively, I cannot recommend buying Darksburg at its current price point without more content updates.

TL;RD: if you wouldn't buy a version of Left 4 Dead that had only one campaign, you shouldn't buy Darksburg.

It's short, there are only 5 levels which take 1 hour to play.
Also, it's laggy as hell, not dropping fps but laggy. There is even rubberbanding (also for the host) which is simply annyoing and makes the game harder than it is by desing.

A comfortable co-op roguelite somewhere between a moba and left 4 dead, but suffers from the exact same problem its competitor Killsquad is suffering from: not enough play variation. At the time of writing there are five characters with an attack and three abilities each, which cannot be themselves changed, but can be later augmented with per-match upgrades.

The problem here is that the game is solid and well-rounded, but just doesn't have enough to entice the player with on a playstyle and choice front. Thus my review is positive because it -is- still enjoyable; it just needs more player choice to compete in the market. If not more characters, at least grant us additional abilities to choose from, some means of altering the character itself beyond temporary enhancements.

I love the idea, love the design, love the art and overall really like the gameplay, even the progression is okay-ish though that could use more work.

So what is my problem? The core of the game is there but nothing else. Description says all runs are different as the maps are generated but the problem is that they are generated from a given palette and as such the map always looks the same even if the layout is different. This shouldn't be a big problem... unless you have 4 small maps.

Game desperately needs maps, but could really do with more items, abilities, enemies.

Basically lacks content, it's like the best cookie with only a speck of tasty jem in it. Just enough for you to know that you would like it but you just can't find more in it.

Breaks my heart.

This game has a lot of potential, but unfortunately in it's current state with limited content and a lot of grinding for upgrades...this isn't a game I would recommend to buy unless it's on sale and only if you have some friends to play it with.

It is both surprising and disappointing to see this game see such negative reviews. The only real criticism is that there isn't much range in the level objectives, but that is fairly counteracted with the (what I think is) randomly generated level layouts. And the targeting mechanic for ranges characters is a pain in the ass. When using right click to attack, if you aren't directly on an enemy (Or they move) you'll instead walk to that location. This can be SUPER annoying when playing ranged characters because you just walk right into a swarm.

The game is fun, especially with friends. It has a nice learning curve, the upgrade progression is fun, the temporary health mechanic is interesting, the characters are unique, the artworks is super impressive, and the overall gameplay is enjoyable. The game is good, regardless of if you're doing the same sequence of objectives over and over. Playing the different characters and trying out their ability upgrades gives it enough uniqueness. If you don't want to pay full price, you can get it up to 75% off in a sale (It was 75% off on the summer sale we just had). And for that price, this is an absolute steal.

Good game, would recommend with friends.

Could be a cool game... however

Multiplayer/co-op is fundamentally flawed at a design level, in that you cant join games already started. Even if there are plenty of spots open.

Until the devs wake up and fix/improve this, dont even consider getting this game unless you only want to play single player (which is pretty boring).

Truly disappointing. Would love to say anything constructive about this game, but obviously it still doesn’t feature local coop (the topic was brought to attention already a year ago in the forum as a community wish). So strong caveats for anyone who wants to play with their kids or spouse at home. Seriously, it’s not like other games couldn’t manage this problem, just see Children of Morta, Victor Vran, Vikings or whatever. But obviously this must-have feature for coop-based games was pretty much abandoned here (though one shouldn’t lose hope, so I will update my review if this yet happens).

Pretty fun game with decent progression but severely lacking content. After you clear the game you just start running it on ascensions which get harder and harder (up to 10 times) while playing the same 4 maps over and over again. There are 5 characters which are all pretty unique and fun to play but it's very difficult to find other players to co-op with.

If they add more campaigns or more maps I would recommend, but with how much content there is I'd only buy it on sale.

Not a bad game over all, the design feels pretty sound, and have only encountered a single bug that caused me to wipe. The real problem is that there isn't much to it, as the games it is trying to copy have so much more to them. I like the dev and the game itself but rather than adding random level generation and a mastery system I would greatly prefer more levels. If I were to compare this to titles it has some inspiration from its like it L4D had only one map, or if in Diablo 3 where killing the butcher is the end of the game. Even when adding on extra difficulty levels the desire to go through the same 3 events then kill the baron isn't all that strong.

overall I'd say it was worth the 5$ just wish there was more

So I had no problems with stability or the way the game runs. Animations were smooth, controls were responsive and both the art-style and UI were absolutely fine. The problem is that the gameplay feels too generic, the areas seem large and lack variety and the whole experience becomes dull and tedious far too quickly. There is nothing exciting, innovative or interesting about this game - you've seen it all before. Pass.

When you see a game having mixed reviews, you might think it's a bad game, or average at best. That's not the case here.

Imo this game is great. You can see developers really put their hearts into it. I love this cartoonish medieval visual style. It really helps building that dark, but not very serious, athmosphere. In fact, I find dialogues and item descriptions pretty funny (also pretty smart), and the voice acting is top notch. Music design is basic, yet satisfying - single guitar chords, which you can hear most of the time, turn into hard rock during intense moments. When it comes to the gameplay, I guess your experience will vary depending on the character you choose. For me, playing as Abigail or Rose felt fast paced and smooth. Controls are responsive, and there's a lot of customization here - for example you can choose walking with WASD or mouse, depending of your preference (although the latter seems superior).

I also saw some people complaining about limited character building possibilities, like no real inventory (you can only hold 1 item with activated ability, and 1 healing consumable). I don't think that adding more layers of RPG makes any game better - it just adds more complexity. Therefore you should view Darksburg as an action game first and foremost, not RPG or even action RPG for that matter.

The biggest flaw here is, as others have stated, lack of content. You just play through the same 4 levels (+5th boss level) over and over. They are randomized, sure, but still each run feels pretty same-ish. The best (or the worst, actually) example of this are events at the end of levels 1-3, as they are always the same across all your runs. Boss level is also the same every time. When I started playing the game, I really wanted to have some map or minimap. However, after playing several hours, I no longer feel like I need it (and no, there is none). I simply memorized all the level building patterns, which are consistent across all levels. And that's a bad thing, especially in roguelike - not enough variety.

Also, and I consider this a minor issue, playable characters aren't balanced very well. There are 5 of them atm, and 1 is dedicated support, other 1 is a tank etc and as such it's probably impossible to have them perfectly balanced for 2, 3 and 4 player teams at the same time, ever. Runolf especially seems to shine in full 4 player team (which is consistent with character personality, btw). As I only played the game alone with 1 bot (you can't go completely alone), I find DPS characters most effective, and also most fun to play.

All in all, I do recommend this game, but only if you can buy it cheaper than 20$. Also, keep in mind the developers keep working on it, releasing occasional patches, so it's possible it will grow bigger over time.

Darksburg feels like Torchlight 2 in a way and has full controller support. If you can bring a friend along that likes roguelikes this title is a must play! It's definitely in my top 10 co-op roguelikes on Steam.

Sadly not good enough for a recommendation (~5/10),

If Remote Play Together would be addet, It would be a game changer, as I would not recommend to buy the game, but most likely recomend friends to play a round or two with me..

Game has coffee-break sized runs, but the runs themselves are great. You continue to amp up the difficulty with each run as you develop out your characters with stronger passives and swap in and out different items you have to unlock.

People say there's no character progression, but at the time of writing this less than 15% of players have even completed Ascension 1 (which is the first difficulty increase over the easiest in the game). Of course there's bound to be a lot of misconceptions being related as a result.

Ignore all the reviews that say the controls are terrible. They are perfectly good on keyboard.

Also ignore the reviews that claim there is no progression system or randomization. This game has both.

Love the game, but... it's not finished, it's buggy, and it needs a balance pass.

So, game feels pretty good, I like the concept, I like the co-op, and the RNG is fun when the difficulty is low.

But--
-RNG skill options will likely lose runs not too far in the difficulty increase which feels bad,
-the game stutters constantly which can lose a run you've spent an hour playing which feels bad.
-Passives and passive slots are way too expensive, and it requires grinding to unlock. For perspective, you make about 100 ingots an hour in the game, it's about... 600 a slot, so 6 hours for 5% more dmg. And repeat this process until you no-longer enjoy playing the game.
-The difficulty is a little to extreme, and... it could be fine if the game ran better
-The game runs really poorly. Stutters happens a lot, since there are usually a lot of zombies on screen.

For how little is in this game, I still do like it... but it's not done. It needs to be optimized, the game needs a balance pass (some characters are objectively better than others, while some cannot survive in later difficulties). And dear god, someone reduce the price of items. You shouldn't have to play the same 4 lvls for 90hours to fully experience the game. Any-sane person would go from liking this game to hating it in the process.

Honestly, I like this game, it has good potential - but can't recommend it in its current form, especially at its current price.
PROS;
- Great art direction
- Characters feel unique, although a lot of their skills are similar
- The game plays well
- Is quite polished for the content it has
CONS;
- Severe lack of content, honestly feels like a demo more than a full release title
- No player base; 40 average players in March 2020 you will never match with someone in an open game
- Rather slow for the style of game, characters move too slowly and level ups take a bit too long after a few
- The curiosities take forever to save for, about 1.5 hrs for a common - And you don't even know what you are unlocking!

I was really into this game at first but it quickly becomes repetitive and rather boring.

Worth on sale, full price not so much. Too little content currently and hoping they will add more stuff and update the game. L4D/Vermintide top down game and I like it a lot. 4 randomized map every time and 1 final boss map with a bunch of ingame trinkets but that's about it.

Not that the game is bad, but it is completely uninteresting. You get Vermintide game concept and gameplay from Diablo (or any other ARPG). You get into the end of game in about an hour and then you can replay it with stronger enemies until the end of time. Might be fun to replay it with friends, but I dont see anyone playing it for more than few hours.

There are certain things that it seems like devs frequently loose sight of; half way through making their game, see something seemingly done well somewhere else, then trying to mix it in, often in a... lesser way.
To put it simply:
-This game is sort of like left 4 dead.
-It has minimalist side perks you can unlock, but they are randomized so you don't know what you'll unlock and they require toooooooons of farming. You also unlock a few slots to put them in through the same tons of farming.
-Any time you round a corner, even for a second, mobs can respawn in the space you just cleared.
-Other than abilities that move your character, like the standard spinning human tornado chop attack that appears in every top down game these days, all basic attacks for every character, you're stationary.
-The levels are always in the same series sequence, 1, 2, 3, in order, every time.
-If you play solo, you're forced to take at least one bot, but since there are objectives, like gather planks AND guard a door from mobs at the same time, the help is kind of required.

Another game that I would describe as a left 4 dead like is WWZ. It also has the unlock of perks, like this, but there it doesn't feel like even half as bad a grind. There when you prestige, you lose access to basically every skill and have to re-level and re-unlock for each class, but there it also doesn't take a lifetime to do so. There I have a sense of progression that brings me back, there I have story elements. There I can pick whatever level I feel like playing.

I don't know. I wanted to like this game, but it just feels tedious or slow in every aspect, so it makes me feel frustrated.
I WANT to say I might have enjoyed it more with friends, but I think they would also have felt the slow drag and just uninstalled after one pass.
I have beat the whole campaign, but I haven't necessarily done everything. For instance, I noticed thieves guild crates. Never opened one, since it requires one of those farmed out random perks.
Doesn't feel worth it to grind for days... maybe weeks... a month? Just to find out. There could be some neat perks that fix half my issues, I don't know, but if you're interested in this game, I suggest you figure that out for yourself.
Good luck.

This game isn't terrible. It honestly comes down to the cost for me vs how long the game is / replayability. It was amusing for a very short while (about an hour). Some more levels and bosses (along with a true single player experience) would go a long way with this game, but sadly I just can't recommend this at the price it is listed. Maybe pick it up on sale if it's very cheap. They have a great idea, but personally I think it still needs more work.

While game is not bad, but it is highly frustrating to play even on normal when you are a solo player. First issue are vague objectives which pop up. They are not described clearly and you end up running through whole map. For example, I was asked to find wood. I went to that location and marker disappeared. I was going through whole map to figure out what I needed to find. In the end, it seems that quest items were not highlighted properly and I just ran through them. Why? This game is filled with zombies, you can easily miss those little details. Objectives are obscure like this. One time game started spamming never ending hordes expecting you to just run through. How I'm supposed to know that? Next time I had to light up three lights. However, they will run out then left alone. Solo player, objective which needs more people? Bots which can't be ordered to capture it? Do you see the problem? Game becomes a frantic race between points at that point.

Game difficulty is also highly annoying. Game is not hard at any time, but it constantly tickles your resources down and bots are not efficient in clearing later stages of undead. This creates feeling that game is unplayable for melee classes as zombies will always tickle your health down. Range classes however bypasses such concerns all together. I do not think that game is balanced from design point of view.

I do not know what this game is, but it is certainly NOT a co-op game. There are ZERO mechanics to interact with each other. Even resurrection can be made as an auto ability. Everything in this game is made to compete against another player. Chests is most notorious example. In Co-op you wont be fighting zombie hordes with your fellow players. Hordes are just an annoyance. What you will be doing will be frantic exploration of map in order to hoard all the resources to yourself, especially precious upgrade books. When you are playing this game you are actively working against the other player and you do not even go together. Even elite monsters do not make collaboration necessary.

Mechanics in this game is also quite frustrating. Chests require you to explore all the map. However, zombies just keep on spamming, especially in key areas. It is extremely frustrating type of gameplay. You can't even find a second to read ability texts and to pick what upgrade you want to go next. You will ALWAYS be attacked and zombies are NEVER a threat to you. What is a threat is their slowly tickling your health away. That is a really frustrating core gameplay experience and when developers do add a lot of zombies on screen, they simply swarm entire area to the point you cant even move or jump around. Yet, it is not even that hard. I imagine that additional difficulties levels will make it even worse as zombies will start hitting third of you hp at one shot. Game needs better mechanics which would make gameplay harder.

In the end, game feels very light on content. You don't even have character menu to see what perks you had unlocked. How much you had achieved with that character. What builds you could go for. Maybe some auto-leveling system with some skins would be nice. However, nothing is in there. It is just playing the same over an hour long game on same maps, with same characters, but with some modifications on how they play.

Overall, quite frustrating solo experience and obtuse game when you are playing for the first time. After that, it doesn't seem to have much more content than what you experience through your first run.

Fundamentally it's a decent game, but only for the first playthrough (which takes about 1h).

Looks and plays good. Characters are quite diverse, but their power level is not equal. You can complete all content solo with AI companion(s).

Unlocking of perks and especially their slots takes waaay too much time.

Game pace is on the slow'ish side. All characters should have like 25-30% more movement speed by default. Once you complete a full run - all other runs will be literally the same and ascension levels are more on the annoying side than a fun difficulty increase.
Enemy variety is quite non-existant.

I really don't like the never-ending spawning of enemies.

Not much content to be found here, needs more of everything x3. Not worth the full price.

This game has a passionate and dedicated artistic director. It looks great, sound is great, world design feels great. But man, gameplay really sucks. The game just feels really slow and sluggish. The control set is DotA style, and where they say they have controller support, they don't really. It's just mouse movement through the controller, which isn't really playable. The gameplay also just feels so slow and sluggish. I purchased this for co op with my wife, because it had all the high points we usually look for, Dark Fantasy, Co-Op, horde shooter, character based. If someone ends up making a mod that overhauls the controls and increases the player movement speed I think it would make the feel a lot more enjoyable, but probably further stress the lack of gameplay issue. Can't recommend the game in its current state, and from the sound of the forum responses, it doesn't sound like they're planning on adding any further content to this game.

TLDR takes an hour or less per run, 5/10 would not recommend.

Its a very standard ARPG rogue-like. You pick a character that has a predefined class, you move through maps killing enemies, finding loot, collecting currencies (gold for consumable merchant, darks for permanent unlocks). When you level up you pick an upgrade to one of your abilities. Every run repeats this formula, increasing the difficulty causes scaling to be insurmountable but it also increases the amount of darks you receive. Personally my pals and I did not find the gains worth the time investment.

With 56hrs of playtime as of current writing I'd still say it is not worth the price of admission.
Not enough content (id like 10 more maps/ 2 more scenarios)
Not enough combat variety (id like at least 3 more characters)
No customization for character builds (id like an load out system where i can equip characters with gear that effect how they play)

Dear reader you spend your money how you like of course but for literally the same price you can get Risk of Rain2 which has much more content, many more characters, a fantastic progression system, and has a Good Boy. Im not saying Darksburg is bad, Im just sayin there are better things on offer.
(but also lowkey Darksburg bad and i am soo glad i got it for less than 10)

In the current state this game lacks content.
There are also some aspects of the game that need more polishment. Espetially in the map variety. I know that the procedual generation work like picking random puzzle pieces and putting them together. The problem is, that speciffic events in the game are NOT procedually generated which makes the game very repetative.
I also dislike that perks you want to unlock do not indicate what effect they will provide once unlocked. It is basically lottery with no benefit to gameplay, it is just nasty spending on perks an then you receave an effect that you really dislike.

Gameplay is perfect. I think this is one of the things done perfectly.

To be honest it is not a lot that the game needs to change to be more fun in the long run. Though the dicision to go rougelite came a little late in the early access development and I expect the game to receive further updates. I beleave that the game was released too early and would have needed one more year of early access (or at least 2-3 more content realease patches).

Currently I can not recommend the game for it's full price. I wanna know what the future holds!

In its current state I find this game hard to recommend. The gameplay is clunky and the characters are woefully unbalanced (show me a good reason to play the wolfman or the archer lady) and for a co-op rougelite there's very VERY little incentive to keep playing past one full completion. A harder difficulty isn't worth it if the game is slow and the process of gaining upgrades is a slow grind rather than a natural progression. This isn't taking into account a whole run will take you about an hour once you get the hang on things.

The bare bones of this game do SEEM to be hiding a good coop roguelite but until some quality of life upgrades and some replayability are properly introduced. Give this one a miss.

6/10 - Get it on sale and enjoy for first few hours with friend.
-------
The game is a combine of L4D type and top-view Action-RPG. You have to run and fight continuously to reach target or do objective.
Good:
- 5 characters. Each of them have 4 skills/spells and 1 passive to upgrade each level
- A lot of perks - collect iron and unlock them
- Good graphic
Bad:
- Lack of contents:
+ The enemy is same at all level, just a bit stronger. At later act they just add 1 or 2 type of enemy. But they're all the same at all time playing.
+ Only one boss battle, at the end of the run.
+ Level design is repetitive
- SFX and Music: Does this game have music? I wish they could invest more into these one, it'll be hype for continuous combat.
- Some performance issue: For this type of graphic, the game should run more smoothly. I guess they didn't optimize it well.

Overall, the game could be Overwhelming Positive if they put more content, like more boss and enemy. Sadly, they didn't.
I hope the developer listen to community and invest more. They could save this rough gem.

Why recommend? Because the game is at v1.0 and I believe this game is deserved a chance to be much better.

While the game is very fun, and has some fun characters to play when you play with friends, the game itself has -very- little replayability. its the same levels, same talents, same map designs, same everything. There's only the 5 current maps and they grow increadibly stale after just playing through it 3-4 times. Been playing this with 3 friends and we in the end just lost interest because the character balancing is all over the roof and there's just nothing to do. Its also always the same last boss. And the reward multiplier you get for each completed run is a measly 5% extra orbs (for perma upgrades to your character) and its just not felt, but the affixes you get is HELLA punishing.

So basicly it leaves you grinding grinding and grinding for these bars/orbs whatever they were, to upgrade youself, but you barely get enough for 1 upgrade per complete run, thats how few resources you get. And you NEED them to go further with the affixes being so punishing.

As of now, its a fun party game for a few hours, and then its a game that'll just go stale and die until it gets more content.

It can be fun for a while and with friends, but the game has problems that hold it back. The first being the biggest, barely any content. The runs don't change much at all, you're basically running the same areas over again in harder difficulties. Secondly, the higher difficulties and the boss is unfair. You get stunned and chunked constantly before you even have time to react.

The first run was a really fun blend of League of Legends and Vermintide. Then you realize that the first run represented 95% of the content of the game and there's nothing more to discover.

If it had more content, Darksburg would have been one of my favorite games. The foundations are solid, but nothing has been built on top of them.

Sooo I have spent some time with this game now and even though I had some fun with it, I can't recommend it to anyone for the prize it is at. let's start with the pros

Pros:
The game have many game modes (3 to be exact).

5 characters that is unique to each other.

Alot of different items that can be bought with Iron in the game.

It looks good (in my opinion).

Cons:
1. There is too little content for the game, it has 5 stages (counting the final boss stage) and these stages are way to easy until you face the boss at stage 5 who is running on super steroids, and it is always the same boss. if you lose, have fun playing through almost the exakt same thing again (with the same or a different character) and if you win you unlock Ascension which is playing the same level with a LITTLE bit of extra difficulty as well as a LITTLE bit more Iron from chest and boss, emphasis on little. So there is nothing new to find beyond that except.

2. Items in the game are too hard to get. To get an item in the game youy have to buy it with Iron, so how do you get Iron? You can get it from chests and baskets but each give you around 0-5. Where in the beginning a stage might give you 20-30 Iron if you decided to look through for all the chests (or atleast many of them). Items come in three rarities. Common, Fancy and Extravagant and cost 50, 100, 200 Iron depending on what item you wanna buy. However you can only carry a limited amount of items for each rarity. Common = 2, fancy = 1 and Extravagant = 0 But you can spend Iron to unlock slots for each rarity. Common = 200, Fancy = 400 and Extravagant = 600. So if you even wanna try out an extravagant item you have to grind the same levels over and over again with barely any difference in every playthrough. Even if the Boss give atleast 50 (ascesnion raises it 5 % per Ascension). and even if you grind to buy the items you might face another annoying problem.

3. Items are random. Every category of Rarity have different kinds of things you can get but the only way to find out what each box contains is to buy them. They are almost loot boxes, the only difference is if you can find a screenshot of all the items online or not, if not then it's exactly like a loot box. So you spend time grinding for Iron for an item that can either be good or not and then continue grinding to find something that something decent. An example is an extravagant item that buffs alot of stats when your hp is below 100 (this item is worthless as it's hard to get below 100 without dying or just take more then 100 damage and die instead of going below 100). Which makes it frustrating to buy something you didn't want in the first place. But that is only a problem if the items actually do what they say they are supposed to do

4. Some items don't do what they say. I got an item that said I was gonna be invinsible for 5 sec after using bandage and 10 sec for using Salve but the item doesn't even nearly do that, instead it makes bandages heal normal hp and temporary hp instead of only temporary as normal. The same thing with the item I mentioned in (3.), where I got my hp below 100 hp (I think (I will get to this)). After looking up some items online I noticed that there was another item that was supposed to do this so I don't know if they either changed it and forgot to change the description of the item or if they somehow mixed up items and their supposed effects. Whatever it is, it's annoying and f**** with what you think you can and cannot do.

5. Mostly words no numbers. What I mean with this is that there is no stats shown. So the use words like severe, massive, some etc. to describe things like damage from abilities. HP is shown as a green bar with some lines depicting what a column of hp is, which I assume is 100 hp per column. the weird thing is that you can get power ups with lvl ups and tomes that give you procentage boosts. so now all your abilities make 20% more damage but from what I will never find out.

6. 2 out of 5 characterrs are glass cannons except that they don't really do more dammage ther are only ranged. So the get easily killed and are not nearly strong enough to be rightfully so crippled. Playing with any of these two can mean a one hit kill against the boss (the boss kills you).

Summary:
I really don't dislike this game. I had fun playing with my friend but there is just way to much negatives to even give this game 20 euro is really stretching it, If you can get it via some bundle or below 10 euro here on steam I say go for it but there are alot of games I would recommend before this one as well. Also I would never recommend to play this game alone, just saying

Score: 4/10.
The first run was fun but after that the game was do

It's basically Diablo meets Left 4 Dead -- Or, if it's more your speed, World War Z, Vermintide (2), Killing Floor (2) or any similar 4 players vs the horde co-op. I'd love to give a deep, intricate sell, but I genuinely don't know what to say if that doesn't already sound awesome to you.

To be clear, 'for free' is covering my ass for receiving it through Humble Choice, since I don't know if that counts.

A fun, topdown arpg that plays similar to titles like Vermintide or Left 4 Dead, for those that can gather a party of bros

Pros
-Graphics are sweet, sound and music just as well
-You're first, normal difficulty playthrough will probably seem dull and easy, but as soon as you hit ascension 1 the game actually ramps up surprisingly and becomes way more challenging
-Potential replayability through random generation, and scaling difficulty levels, but also see the cons part for this

Cons
-I feel the balance of the available characters is lacking, albeit this might just be due to the need of proper coordination, but that's not something you can expect queuing up with randoms
-The above point isn't helped by the small playerbase, at the time of writing there appear to be 170-ish players online which results in a hard time finding a group of people and even if you do, they might hinder you rather than help you
-Although theoretically the prcedurally generated maps, enemies, talents and the ascension dificculty scaling would provide replayability, you'll be playing the same levels against the same enemies over and over again, without even multiple final boss options

I truly believe this game has a lot of potential if (and only if) the devs put more content into it down the line, if you can gather a party of friends, give Darksburg a chance and have some fun, but if you're a solo gamer, for the time being I think you're better off stearing clear.

For a more in-depth explanation of above, please be welcomed to check out this video where we cover it further.

This is a pretty cool, really polished third of a game. I would recommend it, because it's pretty fun for a run or two, once in a while, but it has nowhere enough content to be worth anything close to the asking price. I got it as part of Humble Monthly, as a cool little bonus, but with the ridiculous lack of content, I wouldn't pay more than 5 bucks for it.

It's basically a mix of L4D and LoL;
Execpt where LoL has a ton of heroes, this one has 5. 5 heroes, with significant skill overlap.

Where L4D came with 4 campaigns, this one comes with one. 5 maps, where one is always a boss arena and the rest are PrOcEdUaLlY GeNeRaTeD, meaning the layout changes between games, but you won't notice. It takes less than an hour to play the campaign, and by the first time you've finished it, you'll have seen it all.

All-in-all, it's really lackluster. The content that's there is enjoyable, but after the first hour, the game has basically nothing else to show you. There are some unlockable passive buffs you can grind, but none of the ones I've managed to obtain changed much (basically, so far, I've gotten slightly more health, twice, and one that gives slightly more gold.) You can also grind out cosmetics, but they're just alternative dyes of existing outfits and extremely time-consuming to grind.

I'm giving this game a recommend because I got it very cheap and because I'd really like to see more content added. But even at a third of the price, it'd still be a terrible price-point, considering the atrocious lack of content.

Admittedly game looks like it could benefit from polishing/updates and some mechanics feel not really balanced (curio prices/UI comes to mind). As mentioned in few other reviews it left Early Access too early.

But the game is fun and definitely has potential.

After an hour played for my coverage of the Humble Choice October 2020

This is the newest game from Shiro Games who put out Evoland which was bundled two months ago, and now we have a completely different game.

This is a Co-op Roguelite in a Diablo or MOBA style world, where you and up to 3 friends or AIs can try to battle through five randomized levels. Each character plays differently and there are some great choices, such as a nun, an innkeeper, or a werewolf. This game plays a bit like Left 4 Dead with a top-down view, with hordes of enemies and items players will have to find to unlock stuff.

I’ll be honest, I dislike this one. I played two games solo and in general, I’m not a big fan of the Left 4 Dead formula. I liked playing the Innkeeper but couldn’t stand the Nun or the Werewolf. Each character plays quite a bit differently so that’s a good sign.

Pick this up if you have a group who want to play a PVE Moba game, or like the Roguelite formula. If you want a story, or something other than a rogue-lite, you can skip this one.

Simplistic and boring gameplay, standing still staring at cooldown circles slowly fill, clicking for unimpressive effect, stare at cooldown circles slowly filling. Older games like torchlight 2 (been dirt cheap or given away free) have 10x more content and far better combat and RPG mechanics (skill trees, gear with stats, spell combo effects, etc.) This feels like a simple demo level or a starcraft custom map, not a paid product.

The ARPG roguelite combo doesn't really work that well here. Just feels like a mediocre ARPG. The starting difficulty is far too easy. Then when you start adding modifiers to up the difficulty it feels like its punishing you rather than making the enemies harder. The controls definitely don't help either, everything feels clunky and slow to respond. There's almost something here, but they didn't quite hit the mark.

I played all difficulties with each character and so far this is my experience with the game:

The good:

Interesting and well designed characters.
Multiple viable builds for each character
Fun gameplay.
Good learning curve, starts pretty easy and forgiving and gets challenging at higher difficulties, but all characters are viable and can clear every difficulty on their own.

The bad:

There's not a big variety of content. There are random events through the run and different modifiers but in the end you replay the same campaign on the same map against the same end boss every time.
Small playerbase, hasn't been an issue for me as a (mostly) solo player, but it can be difficult to find games during the less active hours of the day in some regions. However these two issues have been addressed by the devs already, they announced they're working on content to address the issues, and once there's more contentI'm sure the community will grow.
Doesn't have an option to play solo without an AI. I don't like being forced to play with an AI on my team. Usually I just let it die ASAP since they won't survive high difficulties for long, but I want to be able to go into the game completely solo.

Overall I recommend the game. Probably wait for a sale if you expect more content and replayability out of your money, but the game has been well worth it for me.

It's fun, but in short, the bitching about lack of content is pretty spot on. Over half of my alleged play time was also just me trying to find other players to do a match with me since the game's already pretty dead until this game DOES get content.

The game was fun, and even though I generally enjoy shorter games I have to give this one a thumbs down. It has potential to improve but I feel they left Early Access too early as it still feels more like a beta than a full game to me.If you find it on a nice sale, then it can be worth a romp, especially with friends. 20 dollars is way too much and a ridiculous price point for what is here.

I have a couple hours play time, and some of that was sitting idle. I also died once while I was still learning the game. So you can beat the game much faster than that. Fine, okay, technically a run through Hades or similar games can take about the same time and are meant to be played multiple times. But the runs just don't feel varied enough to even want to play again. The characters are cool, I really like the plague doctor. I wanted to like it more. You do get upgrades as you level up and you can spend earned points in game on perks to improve the game for your next run and your climb through higher difficulties etc.

But there is no real drive to do so as I feel I already saw everything. You see the same levels, the same enemies. There is no story pushing you forward. You just get to play the same exact game again but harder, yay I guess? And to compare to Hades again, the runs won't vary nearly as much as in Hades with the crazy array of powers or such. The game is still going to play similar.

Now this game isn't a pure ARPG roguelike or anything. It's also similar to say Left 4 Dead or other co-op games with hordes and such. That's actually pretty neat and I liked that. But some characters also felt unbalanced. Melee characters without a way to regen health were a frustration to play while being able to fight at range was pretty easy. And again, the upgrades earned through leveling up didn't really vary the gameplay all that much. The game is just too short with little drive to keep playing. I had fun with one playthrough but there wasn't really anything keeping me around to want to play that same thing again.

The update made the game extremely boring. No wonder online is dropping. It was much more fun on early access, that's why I decided to buy it and support developers. But they threw away their plans for the game and made something different and imho betrayed our expectations. Now I played this new release 3 times and will never come back I guess... shame

This game is the lovechild of Dota&L4D, and it is actually fun, not gonna lie. But I cannot recommend you to buy this at full price. It's actually semi-worth with a 50% discount.
Even tho it left early access it still has some glaring issues, such as:
-lack of balance between character (melee is shit);
-GLARING performance issues;
-overall it feels unfinished, game is way too short, little variety between runs and enemies.
But it IS fun, and the higher difficulties pose an actual challenge.
TLDR: get it with a 50% discount, also game will probably improve in the future

Very fun game, kind of a Diablo style version of L4D. They've added some new upgrade paths, and overall I can see the game growing really well. I know people have complained about lack of content, but quite a few of those reviews have less than an hour played, and there is no way you could ever know the amount of content in a game like this with less than one hour played.

Graphics are nice, runs great even on lower end systems. Gameplay is smooth, I've mainly played ranged but aiming seems crisp. I like the different upgrade paths as you level up which allow you to vary your gameplay as the game evolves. Still have yet to beat the first level entirely (mainly played pre-release) so looking forward to that! Also they've added some more permanent style character cosmetics which is nice.

For the price I highly recommend this game, the AI works great if you have no friends to play with, but if you do have some friends to play with it's even better. Speaking of the AI, it works great, doesn't do stupid stuff, heals you when it needs to, you can command it to stand and guard, etc..., great job with the AI!

Superb game! I haven't had fun this much in the past few months not gonna lie.

Bought at 50% discount but full price is worth it.

At a glance:

Pros:
+ MOBA-style ARPG had a child with Roguelite
+ Interesting characters that are fun to play
+ Actual sense of progression
+ Actual challenge at higher difficulty levels
+ Easy to pick up
+ A lot of difficulty options
+ Countless amount of unlockable items
+ Cute and decent graphics
+ Enemy AI is actually good (they try to predict where you will walk towards and aim there)

Cons:
- Certain characters are outright overshadowed by others (looking at you, werewolf)
- Optimisation/Performance problems (this is a big one)
- Bots are so bad you might as well not use them
- No healers (?)
- Needs more maps (the existing ones are still pretty good tho)

I was gifted the game by a friend, after the roguelike update.

Main Thoughts

It's still early in development, and so still a very simple game, there's not really a whole lot in the way of diversity of content. My brother and I played through all five stages in about 65 minutes, twice in one sitting. I found it mildly challenging as a beginner, even on the lowest difficulty setting. The regular infected/zombies are weak, but there are so many of them that you'll still end up taking damage. The special infected/minibosses are also fairly weak, but they're very dangerous.

There are a number of unlockables that are expensive enough to keep you playing for a while, with 3 tiers of upgrade slots that you'll need to pay increasingly high amounts to unlock. Then, with those open, you need to pay a fair bit to unlock upgrades to put in those slots. You won't know what an upgrade does until after you pay for it, and some are more useful than others. I imagine there's probably over 100 hours of gameplay worth of unlockables, if your goal is to open up everything.

Complaints

My main criticisms are two:

There's no minimap system in the game, which I feel is definitely a missing feature. I get that it's procedurally generated and is supposed to be a fast-paced crawler, but there really ought to be a map to show you what's immediately around you. The fact that there isn't is something that bothered not only me, but my brother and our friend that watched us play, so I know I'm not the only one bothered by this. It's something that Shiro simply needs to decide is worth working on, and then do it.
The keybind system is a little restricting. Each playable character has four abilities, but you can't just set a keybind for each ability. Basically, each one is locked into a certain slot, and you can only set keybinds for that slot - and the control menu doesn't tell you which slot is which, making it annoying to set keybinds without going back-and-forth from the menu to the game to make sure that it's all good. Shiro really needs to allow you to move the abilities around between slots, and set keybinds by ability. For me, this is a no-brainer, but I really hope Shiro realizes it.

Beyond those criticisms, I'd like to see some form of character customization implemented. Naturally, that's something which would have to be done quite a bit later in development, once there's more actual content here. But it is something that should be done.

tl;dr

Overall, I recommend the game, provided you don't mind buying into an incomplete product and then watching it grow. It's fun, and Shiro has a reputation as a company for sticking with their products and putting in the work to make it worth your while. Northgard is still getting free support, new features, and balance changes, even though it released over 2 years ago. This game is already fun. It needs work, and I trust Shiro enough to be confident that they'll put in the effort to get there.

Played in solo and had a good time so I'm gonna try to get my friends to play it with me, that looks like good fun :D

The good:
- Impeccable art direction
- Satisfying gameplay (a bit clunky at first but you can go in the options to set it up the way you want)
- Cool characters
- Roguelike style really suits the survival / zombie horror genre and it works well here
- Good challenge on higher difficulties and hordes are really intense!

The not so good:
- Lacking sound design (makes the game feel much less polished than it really is and the gameplay can feel underwhelming because of it), could use a bit more music variation too.
- Progression during a run is not perfect either, could use some more (challenging) enemy types on the later stages

Just needs some updates to be a really fun game in the long term but it still works really well right now!

Darksburg is doing something wonderful, it's an extremely well. Blended game. It's like league of legends meats call of duty zombies.

Darksburg has a charming fantasy setting and characters which truly make it stand out. It's mixture of Co-op ARPG with MOBA elements makes for a fun experience, both solo and with a team.

This title has loads of potential, and a bright future ahead. For those on the fence, I'd say give it a try, come slay some zombies!

I think it is a cool game. however there is literally no one that is playing it. I have yet to see another player, even using the quick join option to find a game and sitting there waiting for a while after the lobby is created for someone to join.

I am kind of surprised at how little it matters if you actually kill all the zombies during each run. You can literally just run past them and complete the objectives unless your playing a survival map. That is kind of lame to me. There is no incentive to actually kill them (higher difficulty levels you have more reason to as if you get surrounded you are pretty much dead).

There is progression, but it is only in the form of unlocking perks and perk slots. I think it would add to the replay value of the game if with your level you also gained something like max health or better defense etc..

I do like the game, but right now it is basically a single player game and since I have yet to run into anyone through the online match making I haven't had the chance to play as a revenant.

Late review - and not quite reflective of the hours played - since it also doesn't count what I put in in beta! I've really enjoyed the game so far and continue to be surprised by the characters!

Characters: I've played about 80% Rose with the rest of the time split between the others - however every time I play the other characters I learn just that little bit more about how to use them better! I had them all max'd out in the beta but haven't re-levelled them all in EA yet. Depending on the group/mode I prefer dif chars too, which is great. Varag is my favourite for group games and co-op, but I pref Rose for the Nightmare attempts. Runolf and Abigail both play well as supports and can sometimes provide INSANE buffs for teammates!!!

Time: At the moment, it is Early Access, there is not 1000hrs worth of content, if that is what you are looking for - look elsewhere. If you want a fun game to play with friends - get into it.

Difficulty: This is the first game that when I tried jumping in in hard I got smacked down, quickly and frequently. After more play time, gaining some perks I got to a fairly high win % again and then... they introduced the blackguard - another obstacle. Nightmare is truly hard and requires some good teamwork (or insane solo-play - which is possible!). The game has been in beta and now Early access for a few months now and there is still a mode that hasn't been beaten on Nightmare yet (at all), Farmlands - Nightmare. So, come one come all - see if you can be the first!

Setting: I really enjoy the setting and some of the voice lines are great - Runolf might be my favourite character for the voice lines.

Incredible game with population issue. Do join the official discord as it can make the process of looking for people for your game a lot easier.

PVE & Progression - 5 maps( 3 campaign run and 2 20-waves survival maps) all with 3 difficulty(normal,hard,nightmare). Each characters come with 8 perks in the end but you can only equip 3.

PVP - very fun mode but currently imbalanced with the survivor being too overpowered with their perks on at higher level. The band-aid fix to this is to just have survivor go perk-less which will make the versus experience much better when experienced players are pitted against each other, hopefully in the future the devs will add that as an option when creating room so host won't have to tell people to take off their perks every time.

Server - (US/EU/Asia/MainlandChina/p2p), I have played on all servers and personally there hasn't been a point where the ping make it unplayable for me.

Definitely give it a try if you have friends to start out with. There will be more updates in the future including new survivors/zombies/maps, I just hope this game won't die from not having enough players.

I'm writing this review for everyone who is thinking about picking up this game, but isn't exactly sure yet.

At first I want to give a rough overview about the game and talk about positives and negatives after. Darksburg is an isometric cooperative 4 player game, thats heavily influenced by Left 4 Dead, Warhammer Vermintide and your typical ARPG title or even MOBA.

At the point I'm writing this review we have 3 different gamemodes: coop survival, last stand and PvP.
In the coop survival mode you have to get from point A to point B while defending yourself against hordes of attacking zombies and special infected, finishing different tasks like finding wooden planks and nails to repair a church door.
In Last Stand you have to survive against up to 20 increasingly difficult hordes of zombies and special infected.
PvP is just like the the coop survival, with the difference that both sides, the survivors and the revenants (special infected) are controlled by players.

I'll separate positives and unfinished / improvable features in the following section. I simply didn't find anything bad enough to declare it as a negative point.
(keep in mind that this is an Early Access title so I'm doing my best to give my input to the devs so this game can be as amazing as I want it to be :D ).

Positives:
- The character Design is very unique, in the way that you dont have your typical archetypes you can find in every other game. The only exception to this might be Rose, because she is very close to your typical archer / ranger character. But all the other ones that have been released are very refreshing.
- The readability of Darksburg is very well made, its very clear what you should stay away from since its prominently marked in bright red. (spearthrowers, exploding zombies or the boss attacks)
- Learning Curve: The game is relatively easy to pick up, as the lower diffculties aren't very punishing mistakes. Normal zombies dont hurt a lot and you can focus on learning the revenants and the boss abilities to progress to the higher difficulties, where also normal zombies hurt a lot.
- VERY difficult endgame. As described in the bulletpoint before, in the highest difficulty you have to avoid all opponents as best as you can, because almost every attack will take away most of your life. (with the exception of the average small horde zombie, they still hurt, but wont kill you immediately).
- Overall viable perks: On all survivor characters you have perks that you can unlock after gaining levels (you gain levels by finishing missions) and in most cases they are all useful in a certain situation. Perks that are not very useful have been pointed out to the devs and they're working on the setup to make every perk usable.
- Controls: The game allows you to customize the controls to your liking. You can choose from different movesets and casting modes like quickcast / on release / on press and ofcourse hotkeys that can be changed aswell. Currently supported are wasd and mouse for movement. (mind you they implemented wasd 7 days after the community brought it up).
- Gameplay: The gameplay itself is the most satisfying part for me, the fast paced combat combined with a high skill ceiling makes for a great experience.
- Funny achievements: I'm personally not an achievement hunter, but for those who do enjoy that, this game offers a bunch of funny and challenging achievements that you can work towards.

Improvable things:
- Very difficult to balance:
The game offers both, PvP and PvE and both modes are supposed to be fun for everyone involved so finding a good middleground between strong AND beatable is very difficult. The survivors are very hard to beat if they have good coordination as most revenant attacks can be blocked by Varag. That's obviously good for PvE because you can play around it and advance as one with all 4 hiding behind the shield getting rid of stuff from safety. In PvP on the other hand that can be very frustrating, because throwing abilities at your opponent to no avail isn't fun. Ofcourse its not always like that. If the survivors are in disarray because they're being bullied by a boss you can make a lot of things happen as a revenant, because capitalizing on survivors mistakes is what the revenants are VERY good at. The executioner for example can drag away people like a smoker from L4D and execute him after a while. That only works though if he doesnt get interupted and literally any damage taken interupts that so you see where I'm getting at by saying that its hard to find a satisfying middleground for both factions.
- Ingame progression:
At this moment the ingame progression of each character is relatively one dimensional. You gain perks every 5 levels and money on the levels inbetween. The money can be used to buy ingame items that are very powerful (last only for the run you bought them in). That can range from consumables like healing items or bombs, to personal buffs or debuffs for the map. I'm not entirely sure how they could make the character progression feel better, but I hope theres more coming. Maybe another application of the currency you get, like out of game progression for skins or protrait frames. Stuff like that

Conclusion:
I really like this game for everything I pointed out in the positive section and if you can see yourself enjoying these points aswell and have faith in the devs to fix the features that need it like I do, I can highly recommend buying this game.

Thanks for reading and have fun in Darksburg

L4D + MOBA
It has a solid foundation. Combat feels good, enemy variety is good, and the game has a nice style.
But like other people said, the character progression is shallow and boring.
Character progression, perks and skills need a complete overhaul.

edit: this game needs more time, what's here is good, but not enough to keep you entertained for long.
The devs seems active and I really hope this works out!

The game itself is good and on paper it is a good concept, sadly though I cannot recommend you spend your money on this title at the moment. It may hold your attention for a few hours but that's about it.

It has a very linear character progression that has zero build variety, you only unlock 3 passive skills for each character.

It has varias modes like horde, co-op, but the mode that grabbed my attention was the versus mode like L4D, but in its current state it is very unbalanced, no one wants to play survivor as they just get steamrolled. Out of all my games played in versus not a single group of survivors had a successful run.

Yes the game is in early access, but I can't express how much content is currently lacking. They need to add ALOT to keep this game relevant, at the moment there are zero reasons to keep playing this game as there is no progression other than then 3 passive abilities I mentioned, that's it.

Save your money at this time but if the game interests you keep an eye on it, and please do so as this game is looking very promising, it's what I'll be doing. They need to update and add content to the game ASAP otherwise people will just lose interest like myself and many others as its been released way too early.

I hate to give a negative review, but for what you're getting in it's current state I can't give it a positive.

The concept is good and the character design is nice. But the game lacks progression and the only gamemode that seems finished is the co-op survival mode. They should rework the versus gamemode so you could choose revenants similar to when you play survivors. The game should also have customization and maybe a profile level.

The game has potential but needs progression to keep the game interesting.
