Some big changes in Darkness: Prince of Shadows
Independent Italian studio ActionGames.clr announced a major gameplay update Darkness: Prince of Shadowswhich was a key turning point for the dark fantasy action game, which is still in development. After the overwhelming response to the game's demo on Steam, the developers are preparing to change the game based on community feedback.
Since the release of the demo, Darkness: Prince of Shadows has attracted the attention of both players and creators, including YouTuber WildGamerSK, who showed off the mechanics and atmosphere of the game. The studio closely monitors the player experience, especially those related to the movement and combat systems in the game. After weeks of speculation, ActionGames.clr has confirmed that a major gameplay transformation is taking place, promising a more dynamic and immersive experience.
In an official update published on Steam under the title “Big News: Major Gameplay Changes Coming,” the developers detailed the upcoming changes. The most noticeable change is the introduction of full 3D motion, allowing characters to move freely through the environment. While the game will retain its signature 2.5D side-scrolling style, this adjustment will greatly enhance player freedom and tactical options. Along with this, the combat system is being rebuilt to accommodate new movement options, and the environments are being reworked to better fit the new gameplay design.
The developers explained that these updates are aimed at creating a more dynamic and engaging experience, while maintaining the core identity of Darkness: Prince of Shadows. However, this process will require time and care, meaning that the demo version will not receive further updates in the near future. The team expressed gratitude to the players for their enthusiasm and patience in working towards realizing the game's evolving vision.
