Dark and Darker Mobile, an upcoming RPG from Krafton—the publisher behind PUBG—promises a distinctive mobile gaming experience. This extraction game blends elements of battle royales, dungeon crawlers, and traditional RPGs to deliver a fresh, engaging gameplay experience that keeps players coming back for more.
Joonseok Ahn, the Executive Producer and Head of Production for Dark and Darker Mobile, describes the game: “You start as a novice adventurer venturing into dungeons in a medieval, low-fantasy setting. The game focuses on both competition and exploration within these dungeons.”
Players can choose from six distinct classes: Fighter, Cleric, Rogue, Wizard, Ranger, or Barbarian. Each class boasts unique stats and abilities that influence their combat style. Whether focusing on melee combat, ranged attacks, or magic, each class has specialized skills that alter their approach to battles.
“There are both active and passive skills. For example, as a Fighter, using a shield for blocking will give you a strategic edge,” Ahn explains. “We’ve also tailored armor types for each class. Fighters and Clerics wear metal armor, while Wizards opt for cloth.”
In gameplay, you’ll delve into dungeons to collect loot and make your escape. You can assemble a party of up to three members, either teaming up with friends or recruiting AI-controlled mercenaries. These mercenaries come in various classes, level up alongside you, and can be promoted to gain new skills or upgrade their gear.
