- Dark and Darker Mobile’s latest season is here
- It introduces a suite of changes for the Cleric, Barbarian, Fighter & Wizard
- There’s also quality-of-life features and buffs to mercenaries for platinum-strapped players
While parent company Ironmace Studios may have been hit with a whopping $6m bill for compensation over Nexon’s suit against them, for Krafton and their spin-off mobile release Dark and Darker Mobile things are (ironically) looking quite bright aside from a potential name change. And that’s not just because of their latest update, although it does help, offering plenty to dig into for dungeoneering fanatics.
Titled A Step Towards Greatness, this latest season offers a bevvy of quality-of-life features and new content. There’s now a reduced cooldown time for Escape Headstones, a marker system for those not making use of voice or text chat, and new visual cues to help you track the status effects of burn, poison and more.
Meanwhile, a number of classes have had stat adjustments. Clerics have received buffs to healing, defense and attack to offer more versatility, meanwhile Fighters and Barbarians have received increased skill damage, and Wizards have had adjustments to skill usage counts and active skill balance.
Ultimate Underworld
But it’s not just in the realm of multiplayer either that things are getting buffed. Your AI Mercenary teammates are also receiving some changes. Smarter AI, more accessible recruitment (gold, rather than platinum to hire them) and higher spawn rates for S-rank mercenaries mean more of you dungeon delvers can beef up your front rank of meatshields- I mean allies.
Naturally, Krafton has also promised that this update will bring plenty of optimisation and balance improvements, increasing stability on a range of devices. But the only way to find out how well that works for you is, you guessed it, to leap into the dungeon for yourself!
