Our take on The Dark Survivors
The focus on repeated randomized runs gives up the predictability of a fixed campaign. Permanent equipment adds progression between attempts, but early access development means that content and gameplay may continue to change.
What is The Dark Survivors?
The Dark Survivors is a casual RPG combining survival gameplay, gothic horror, Diablo-like combat elements, and roguelike randomness.
Players control survivors with different talents, weapons, and abilities while fighting monster hordes in dark dungeons. Runs take place in randomly generated scenes, so each new attempt creates a different experience. Equipment found during play can be kept permanently and arranged into individual loadouts. Repeated demon hunts provide stronger gear and support different equipment combinations and character builds. Hidden items and distinctive moves can appear across the generated scenes. The game is in early access, with the vendor planning continued bug fixes, added content, and further gameplay changes. Mouse and keyboard controls are supported.
