Dark and Darker update plunges the game into negative Steam reviews, director blames his "inconsistent decisions and shallow responses to feedback" and says "we're not particularly good at developing games" by chasing "successful formulas"

Four adventurers journey into a dim dungeon .

Dark and Darker's director has been sharing his thoughts on the current state of Ironmace's PvPvE game, taking blame for some of its issues while outlining a plan for improvements going forward.

It's a bit of an understatement to say that Dark and Darker has had a rather rough ride these last few years. From being pulled from Steam thanks to its legal battle with Nexon, to more recently being removed from the Epic Games Store, now its recent reviews on Steam (where it eventually became playable in free-to-play form) are mostly negative. You can understand why the devs would be keen to address this, but that in itself hasn't gone down brilliantly across the board.
