Shiro Games will launch Darksburg for the PC later this year through Steam’s Early Access program, but they recently gave prospective players a sneak peek at their next game in a new trailer.
In the short gameplay clip, it’s plain to see that Darksburg’s character designs have a distinct Overwatch vibe to them, while the multiplayer action owes a clear debt to Diablo:
In Darksburg, the titular medieval town is overrun by hordes of zombies, and it is up to the few remaining locals still standing to get rid of the undead plague. In this top-down cooperative multiplayer action game, up to four players team up to fend off the undead hordes infesting the city.
They will have a roster of colorful characters to choose from, each featuring a unique set of skills, from the compassionate (but not overly so) Sister Abigail and the cheerful innkeeper / zombie slayer Runolf, to the sardonic bounty hunter Rose and the escaped werewolf (but still man’s best friend) Varag. Teamplay and great reflexes are the key to survival in this fast-paced, challenging game.
If you’re going to be in Berlin this weekend for TwitchCon Europe, you’ll get a chance to test out Darksburg at Shiro’s booth.
