Dark Light is a new Early access game that cer🌃tainly looks cool. The trailer shows off an eerie cyberpunk world in a state of what looks to be post apocalypse. Snippets of gameplay present a 2D actionꦿ-platformer in line with Metroidvania concepts. A character with a gas mask and survival gear takes on the dark, rusty environments with only the glow of a small drone to guide him. He uses crude melee weapons to smash through enemies big and small, and dashes away from one that's too big.
Looking at the Steam description, it seems that the threat facing this cyberpunk world is supernatural. The threatening creatures are "invisible to the naked eye," so the main character must use his drone's light to reveal them. That's w🃏here the whole "Dark Light" thing seems to come from.
The developers also describes Dark Light as "souls-like." This might be reflected in the non-linear progression🅷 or the ability to harvest material from enemies to upgrade the player chara🌺cter. Or it could just be a reference to all of the blood and gore that's promised.
Whatever the case, Dark Light sounds very ambitious, and somewhat like it's trying to cram several popular games into one. That's what Early Access, is for though. Hopefully Dark Light finds its audience and incorporates feedback to g༒row into a trulyꦿ unique experience.
