About DarkMaus
Note: This game is designed for an Xbox Controller, but mouse / keyboard works too.
- A worthy challenge - combat in DarkMaus is thoughtful and skill based. Enemies force you to be reactive to survive, and punish any greedy moves or mistakes. You'll start out swearing that it's impossible, and end up a god among Mäuse.
- Death Echo - each time you die, an ally ghost is summoned that retraces your steps, fighting by your side. With time you can collect multiple ally ghosts and choose their weapons for extra strategy opportunities.
- A dark world to explore - search for answers and secrets in the desolate land of Hazath, whose inhabitants have gone feral.
- Combat style variety - from spears to greatswords and bows to fireballs, DarkMaus has a large number of viable builds and playstyles, each with their own strengths and weaknesses.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
DarkMaus is a compact souls-like with responsive controls and surprising build variety that creates good atmosphere with its minimalist art style, but players frequently criticize uneven difficulty spikes, clunky gameplay, and frustrating boss design that undermine its promising opening. Technical issues including occasional crashes further detract from the experience, leading most reviewers to suggest it's worth trying only if you're specifically interested in early indie souls-likes and can tolerate its rough edges.
Starts out promising, but quickly shows its limitations. The builds work, until they don't; the difficulty is fair, until it isn't.2 found this helpful
Good but crashes occasionally.
One of the first Souls-Like. But pretty good and fun for it's mini size. The developer did a good job creating atmosphere with minimal art style. The gameplay also feels good and fun with responsive controls and surprisingly many builds to try.
fun
promising start, horrible game design right after first location. wasted my time hoping it'd get better, but the way final boss is designed is especially infuriating.
Cool concept but I wouldn't recommend as the gameplay is pretty cluncky.
