Command powerful magic as a mage, sneak through the shadows as a rogue, or fight with steel and guts as a fighter—how you play is entirely up to you. Dark and Darker’s playtest is the perfect opportunity for players who participated in the previous alpha to get back into the dungeon-diving action and an excellent chance for newcomers to see what the hype is all about.

I cannot wait to get back into Dark and Darker, encounter tense PvP action, die horribly, and make unexpected alliances. Whether I played alone, with friends, escaped, or died,every moment of Dark and Darkerhad my heart racing, and I am thrilled for another chance to brave the deadly dungeons.
