About This Game

Shadows in the Darkness is an intense, cooperative roguelite, letting players venture down into the depths of mysterious dungeons to eradicate the darkness beneath. Play alone or with your friends to explore random dungeons, collect unique loot, and fight dangerous enemies.

Features

  • Vast randomly generated dungeons
    -Everytime a new game begins, a massive system of 21 floors is generated. Huge libraries, small hallways, and open spaces await in this underground network.
  • Fully functional 4 player co-op or singleplayer
    -Explore the dungeons with friends! Create tactics to distract enemies, manage the various loot found, and dominate the final boss together.
    -This doesn't mean you can't play alone, however. The dungeon difficulty is fully adjustable.
  • 4 intense boss fights
    -As you descend into the dungeons, tough bosses await to stop you in your tracks. Create a plan and figure out how to kill them before they kill you.
  • Dangerous, wandering enemies
    -Fight orcs, goblins, slimes, spiders, and much more in the deeper floors. Enemies wander about, allowing for you to coordinate attacks and ambush to increase your likelihood of survival.
  • Easy to learn, difficult to master
    -There are very few controls to learn throughout the game, but in order to be able to defeat the dungeon, you must learn the enemies, manage your resources, and fight your way to victory.
  • Full physics-based item system
    -Physics-based items allow for a fighting system based on skill.
  • Unique inventory system
    -Inventory does not go by slots, rather it is managed solely on space. Open up your pack, and place items in a fashion that allow for the maximum amount of space to be filled.
    -You have a single holster on your back for weapons allowing for quick access.
  • Lots of loot
    -Find various swords, wands, potions, and scrolls scattered in chests and rooms. There are a wide variety of items to fight with or use but look carefully, as the best might be hidden somewhere in the darkest corners...

Shadows in the Darkness is in Early Access, so please be mindful of all bugs or issues, and leave suggestions in the Steam forums or on the r/scornz subreddit. I'll work my hardest to remove and fix found bugs as soon as possible. Thank you!

Really fun game. Combat just feels right, dungeon crawl and randomized enough. Love the way you enchant your weapons. Graphics are bare but in VR I much prefer smooth over intricate ... helps with the immersion IMHO However the game REALLY needs; Map button? Seriously, how is this not there or am I missing it? Stats button? Don't know what my health is unless it's close to death. Drinking a potion gives no indication on if it worked (am I drinking it or pouring on my body? I dunno) Otherwise a really great purchase

Great game that captures the dungeon crawler feel in VR. It's simple with no overly complicated systems to clutter your play experience, yet it can be difficult enough (when played on higher difficulties) to give a satisfying challenge. This is NOT one of the many VR games where you teleport to locations, stand still and kill all the enemies charging at you. Trackpad locomotion is used to navigate the dungeon, strafe/dodge enemy attacks and sneak up behind enemies for a first strike. Pros: Immersive Satisfying combat Hunting for loot is addicting Great inventory system Great replayability Easy to learn, difficult to win (on higher difficulties) Cons: Low Environment variety Med/Low Enemy variety AI is not very smart

I cant even play the game properly because of a bug where everything i pick up shakes around. It doesnt show a health bar or even tell you how to use potions or these random scrolls you find. The fighting could be a lot better, it doesnt feel like my hits register and blocking is more of a luck thing. Look to 'Vanishing Realms' for good combat. The walking animations seem kind of bugged for the goblin where it looks like hes walking with his feet too close together to where it clips through eachother. The model for the mages with one eye dont really fit next to the more complex goblin model, i hope they udate that in the future to where they have a robe or at leat a 3-D eye rather than a slapped on 2-D one. The particle effects and sounds for the magic could be better and its hard to block them when youre close, to the point where they just get cheap shots at you. At this point in time it'd be better off as a free-to-play so dont buy it for $20 unless you want to support the developers...

Single player seems like a decent 5 dollar pick up but multiplayer seems completely broken.
