Dark and Darker had a surprising launch, taking fans of RPG games by surprise as it recently dropped out of nowhere. Since its release came out of the blue, players have been exploring the ins and outs of the unique experience crafted by Ironmace Games. Like most fantasy games, Dark and Darker is packed to the brim with magic, might, and treasure. If you’re diligently awaiting its new patch, we’re happy to tell you that Ironmace has just posted the game’s seventh hotfix update, full of buffs and fixes ahead of the first planned early access wipe.
Dark and Darker “realistically” had to add microtransactions
09.08.2023 - 12:07 / pcgamesn.com
Following Dark and Darker‘s surprise early access launch on Monday, August 7, Ironmace has confirmed that the RPG game will include an in-game store and that it is a “realistic” caveat of running a live service game. If you’re a Dark and Darker player, that’s either news you didn’t want to hear or really wanted to hear.
After a surprise August 7 early access launch on new distributor Chaf Games, Ironmace has confirmed on its Discord that, at launch, the game will include an online store.
CEO Terrance Park writes “we want to address the elephant in the room and talk about the addition of the in-game shop. Our assumption when we started this company was that you could still build a lucrative business while being true to your fans. The in-game shop is our attempt at being realistic with the business of running an online game but trying to find a way to do it without resorting to random loot boxes and FOMO items.
“We want to offer players a fair way to support us while enjoying the game,” he continues. “Please let us know how you think we’re doing on this front. In addition to the in-game shop we’ve added a founder’s edition/add-on pack to show our appreciation to the loyal fans who’ve stuck with us through this crazy journey available through the platform you purchase the game [sic].”
You can purchase Dark and Darker on Chaf Games’ website following its removal from Steam earlier this year – although keep in mind it’s still an early-access game. Despite the legal complications surrounding the game, Ironmace remains adamant that it will see a Dark and Darker Steam release in the future. For now, however, Chaf Games is your go-to.
If you’re planning to give Baldur’s Gate 3 a rest, why not don the mantle of one of the Dark and Darker classes instead. If you’re looking for something with a little more sparkle, though, we also have a list of some of the best fantasy games to keep you entertained.

Dark and Darker makes a deal with PUBG publisher Krafton for a mobile release
The sleeper hit PvP dungeon crawler Dark and Darker is still booted off Steam, and the legal dispute between developer Ironmace and Nexon means there's no telling when—or even if—it will come back. So I was a little surprised to hear that plans are now afoot for a mobile version of the game, being developed by none other than PUBG: Battlegrounds publisher Krafton.

Embattled PvP dungeon crawler Dark and Darker has a new fight on its hands, but at least this one won't happen in a courtroom. It needs to clamp down on the cheaters that have taken to the game after it finally hit early access a couple of weeks ago, in spite of the legal troubles that continue to keep it off Steam.

Dark and Darker is making all classes free and paying out refunds
Dark and Darker classes will now be available for free, meaning players of the Ironmace RPG game can access the Bard and Warlock without spending money. Previously, these two classes were available either through long-term playing or via a real-money purchase. However, in the latest Dark and Darker update, Ironmace says that it is removing this particular microtransaction and will offer refunds to players in the near future. Dark and Darker classes are now all accessible without any expenditure, as we also await the game’s possible return to Steam, and the full Dark and Darker release date.
