‘Tis the season of giving, and the Epic Games Store is celebrating in full effect. Known for regularly giving away free games, the Epic Games Store is currently offering one of the most unique extraction PvP games on the market. But you’ll need to act fast, as the offer ends in just over 12 hours. I’m talkin’ about the (slightly infamous) dungeon-crawling extraction slasher: Dark and Darker: Legendary Edition.
“An unforgiving hardcore fantasy FPS dungeon PvPvE adventure. Band together with your friends and use your courage, wits, and cunning to uncover mythical treasures, defeat gruesome monsters, while staying one step ahead of the other devious treasure-hunters,” as the Steam description states.
The Epic Games Store has a legendary offer you don’t want to miss
Dark and Darker is a unique spin on the “extraction shooter” genre, taking place in a medieval fantasy setting instead of the traditionally modern/military style it’s known for. Choose classes like Fighter, Wizard, Rogue, or Cleric and scavenge through dungeons, crypts, and dangerous caves to find the best loot. In the PvPvE game, you’ll battle against not only the monsters that lurk in each dungeon but also other players looking to make it out alive with their spoils.
But wait – isn’t Dark and Darker a free-to-play game? Well, sort of. Called “Squire Status,” the free version of Dark and Darker is more like a demo. It allows you to create one character and access ‘Normal’ dungeons, meaning you’ll jump into arenas with the lowest levels of common gear, giving you a taste of what the game’s all about. You won’t be able to trade with players or access the in-game marketplace, but you’ll get a sense of what to look forward to in the full version.
The “Legendary Status,” usually $30 USD, is what’s up for grabs on the Epic Games Store. This account upgrade grants access to the full features and game modes available in Dark and Darker. Here’s what the “Legendary Status” upgrade on the Epic Games Store has to say:

If you’re tired of military-grade weapons and tactical gear, unsheathe a sword or two and jump into the dungeons of Dark and Darker. Trust me, one delve into the deep, and you’ll be hooked. You can grab the Dark and Darker: Legendary Status upgrade until December 24 at 8:00 AM PST / 11:00 AM EST.
