We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Dungeon-crawler fans who want a fixed 16-level campaign alongside generated dungeons
- Action RPG players who want to switch between melee, ranged weapons, and magic
- Players who enjoy customizing playable characters with imported 3D models
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a story-led campaign may find the description focused on dungeon exploration and combat rather than narrative.
- Players who want a campaign longer than 16 hand-designed levels may find the stated campaign scope limiting.
- Players looking for a game without blood or gore may not want the rage mode.
Our take on Into The Dark
Players who expect a story-heavy RPG may hit a wall when the game moves from its 16-level campaign into repeated dungeon exploration and combat; the description gives no narrative structure to follow. Those who prefer ready-made characters may also stop at the modding step, which involves importing 3D models and consulting separate documentation.
What is Into The Dark?
Into The Dark is an action-oriented dungeon crawler RPG with a hand-designed campaign spanning 16 levels.
It also includes a random dungeon generator and a level editor for creating dungeons. Players can choose from multiple heroes and pets, then fight monsters using dual weapons or a weapon and shield, bows and crossbows, and magic spells. The settings include dungeons, castles, caverns, and pyramids. A rage mode adds blood and gore. The game supports mods that let players import 3D models and use them as playable characters; documentation is available through the game’s options or its Discussions page. Its focus is on action and a more realistic presentation than the other RPGs cited in the description.
