Darksburg is a colorful “co-op zombie survival action game” from Shiro Games that is giving off some serious Diablo vibes in its latest trailer. The short video clip was also used to announce that the game is now available to download for the PC (via Steam) as an Early Access title.
Up to four players can team up to trample the undead menace ravaging the titular town in Co-Op Mode, or they can switch sides and take control of an undead Revenant and hunt down the heroes in PvP Mode. Rounding this early version of the game is a wave-based Last Stand mode:
A cooperative action game set in a medieval town overrun by hordes of shambling corpses, Darksburg tasks up to four players to band together, complete objectives across atmospheric maps, and push back against the zombie assault. Choose from one of four Survivors, including Sister Abigail, a holy nun hell-bent on saving her home, and Varag, a wolfman whose ferocity is matched only by his taste for undead flesh.
Coordinate with player or computer-controlled allies, unleashing devastating special skills and unlockable abilities to cut through Darksburg’s zombie invaders while completing objectives in co-op. Alternatively, players can take up arms as Revenants, powerful undead champions dedicated to hunting down the Survivors in a dedicated PvP mode. Then test your skills and see how long you can hold out battling endless waves of monstrosities in Last Stand mode.
Players who take the plunge on Darksburg during its first week of release will receive a 10% discount on the purchase price. According to the developer, they plan to use this Early Access to give the game time to “grow exponentially,” while also “adding content, updating features, iterating, and developing the game in order to align with community expectations throughout the whole process.”
