DarkDIRE: The Advanced Set

DarkDIRE wowed me. A couple months ago, I was browsing the store and ran across this game. As I was reading the description on the store page, I was really loving the features it listed, and for a couple dollars I thought I'd take a shot on it. I was definitely hesitant about the graphical style, even being a jaded old gamer who usually isn't worried about graphics if the gameplay is great. I'll be honest. It didn't click with me and I actually refunded it. Fast forward to today. I was yet again looking through the store and yet again ran across DarkDIRE. I thought that I would give it another shot and this time....it wowed me. If you can get past the obtuse UI and the graphics, and let yourself become immersed, it honestly ends up feeling like a living world that you get lost in exploring, and you become heavily invested in your character. I absolutely am a convert. This game is amazing. GIve it a shot.

I want to play it and like it, but ti need so much work. I'm fine with the graphics and a bit of jank, but the UI and UX is terrible. An example, no clear button to switch between inventory and equipment. I tried playing, unequipped an item by accident and couldn't re-equip it. It looks like a great idea, but I cannot recommend it in it's current state. Also releasing DLC seems a bit premature.

fun

From what I can tell, very advanced game with simple GFX.

This game is a jewel of shiny diamonds!

World's first roguelike-like
