Games set in dungeons have always been one of the weaknesses of the most role-playing gamers . If not, remember that mythical Eye of the Beholder for Commodore Amiga that created a school and paved the way for countless titles that are now considered classics. And this Dark and Darker, saving the distance, is carried away by that nostalgia although infinitely improving all the technical and gameplay sections.
Dungeons and Dragons?
It is surely not a coincidence that Dark and Darker has that double “D” in its name, in the image and likeness of the classic Dungeons and Dragons that became essential for many in the 80s . Its essence is practically the same, with a world locked in an eternal dungeon in which a group of heroes of different classes venture in search of treasures and riches, in addition to ending the evil that lurks everywhere.
