‘Dark And Darker’ developer “cannot ignore” being blackballed by Steam
nme.comIronmace, the developer of the dungeon crawler Dark and Darker, has said that it intends to rectify the game’s omission from Steam as soon as it can.In a statement to PC Gamer, CEO Terence Park responded to the question of Dark And Darker‘s potential return to Valve‘s digital distribution platform. “We cannot ignore the largest PC storefront in the world,” he replied.Nexon levied a lawsuit against the developer in April, alleging that the game is “using materials and assets they worked on during their time” at the publisher.
Ironmace maintained that nothing from P3 – the cancelled game that some of the team were working on with Nexon – has been placed in their own title.The game was then removed from Steam, so playtests were released through torrents in order to accrue feedback on its features and mechanics.While this is a sticking point for the Seongnam based studio, Dark And Darker is now in early access.
Fans have two options – they are either able to purchase the game from the developer directly or from the storefront Chaf Games.The Standard edition of the game is priced at $35.00 (£27.55) or the Founder’s Edition sets a player back $50.00 (£39.35) for extras like test access, the skeleton race, a blue torch item skin and a “hold the line” emote.However, its early access is not playable in Korea.
