Dark and Darker and Dungeonborne are two dungeon crawlers fighting for players' attention on Steam. Which one will come out on top in this race may be decided by the recent updates for both games.
Fans of dungeon crawler have recently got two very good productions: Dark and Darker and Dungeonborne. Interestingly, both games have almost identical popularity – SteamDB charts show that at their peak, they attract over 20,000 players each day. The differences are so small that updates may decide which game comes out on top in this race – both Dark and Darker and Dungeonborne got them.
Dungeonborne with a new arena mode
Let's start with the work of Mithril Interactive studio, because it received a much more extensive update. Moongift Celebration introduces a new arena mode, which should help players improve their combat skills.
The Clotho challenges started on August 16 and will last for a full month. Matches consist of 3 on 3 battles, and the winner is decided after two victories. Players participating in the event have a chance to win many prizes, such as an exclusive kill effect and legendary gear.
According to information posted on the game's official website, the Dungeonborne update also adds the healing ability for druids. In addition, players can participate in a new, time-limited thematic event with exclusive rewards.
Armors in the shape of skulls are now available in the game store. The developers also improved class balance, optimized the game, and eliminated existing bugs.
Dark and Darker with improved matchmaking
Even though Dark and Darker's update is not as extensive as its rival, it cannot be said that Ironmace studio rested on its laurels. On the contrary, in recent days the developers have made some improvements to the matchmaking system.
The latest patch makes players now go directly to the dungeons from the menu level, instead of gathering at the base waiting for the game to begin as before.
The developers also added a quick match option to the game, which allows incomplete teams to play with random players. Ironmace studio has also implemented a considerable number of bug fixes for Dark and Darker.
