I really hope you’re enjoying what you read here! If you want to make sure you don’t miss anything, I recommend setting Windows Central as a preferred source in Google Search. There are actually good reasons to do that – it helps you stay informed about all the newest news, reviews, features, and everything else we cover.

I recently discovered Dark Craft, and it’s already got me super excited! It’s a free-to-play MMORPG with a really unique look – think Minecraft, but way darker and more fantastical. What really grabbed me, though, is the combat. It’s clearly inspired by those challenging ‘soulslike’ games, so it looks like it’s going to be tough but really rewarding.

As a fan, it really feels like a fresh, updated version of those super detailed texture packs we used to love, and honestly, that’s a huge compliment!

The game takes place in a vast and broken world with challenging environments. Fighting requires careful timing, managing your energy, and skillful play – everything players familiar with soulslike games would anticipate.

Should we get excited or temper expectations?

Dark Craft is the first game from mobile developer Take Top Entertainment to come to PC. While the studio is known for its mobile games – most of which have ratings above 3.5 stars on the Google Play Store – this marks a notably ambitious expansion for them.

The game will feature a dynamic, living world that feels constantly active. As you explore, you’ll encounter things happening naturally – like enemy patrols, people going about their lives, and unexpected events.

This game has a lot of potential and could really stand out in the MMORPG genre if all its features work well together. I’m particularly excited about the Game Master system. It allows team members to directly influence the game – they can control enemies, act as powerful bosses, or even surprise players with ambushes.

This system might create problems and feel unfair, so making it balanced will be difficult. However, I haven’t seen another game that works quite this way.

I’m excited about this game, but I’m also a little cautious because it’s free-to-play. You always worry about whether it’ll be packed with microtransactions or if you’ll have to spend a lot of money to actually compete. Honestly, knowing the studio mostly makes mobile games makes me wonder if that might be the case here, and it might make some other players hesitant too.

We don’t have a release date for the game yet, and it’s currently only planned for PC. However, if you enjoy games like Minecraft, Dark Souls, Bloodborne, or generally like dark fantasy, this one might be worth watching.
