  • Added "Milestone Leveling System". Your characters will automatically level up as the story advances. A great feature for those who do not wish to grind for EXP.

  • Bugs from Fredrick Quest Hub are now fixed.

  • Added new musics!

  • Fixed minor mapping errors from several maps.

Milestone Leveling
DarkEnd is a traditional 2D RPG with dungeon-crawler and rogue-like elements. The game is heavily inspired by classic dungeon crawlers from the 90's and we made the game very hard and challenging to reflect that. However,we ended up alienating a lot of players who are new to dungeon-crawler RPGs as a result.

In ver 1.5, we added this new feature called "Milestone Leveling". Players who found the grinding process tedious, which is standard for most Dungeon-Crawlers, can now play the game completely free of grinding!

The update is now live! Please enjoy the game and happy hunting for new achievements!

Get it now on Steam!

DarkEnd - Full Release Coming Soon!

DarkEnd is Coming!

Hello folks! Sorry for not updating for a while now, as we've been busy finalizing DarkEnd. The project is now completed and will soon be released on Steam, Greenman Gaming, and other gaming portals this October.

Here is the new Release Trailer. Check it out!


That being said, the Steam version of DarkEnd will feature a beautiful set of Steam Trading Cards, emoticons and Backgrounds. We plan to add more features, such as Steam Achievements and extra in-game content via updates later. Please, take a look at this STC promo.



We made quite a rush job with a tech-demo which we posted a few months earlier. As a result, the demo didn't fully deliver what we aimed for. There were several aspects of the game left unpolished. However, many aspects of the game are now vastly improved in the coming full version.

Now, the game become exactly what we wish for : A traditional Turn-Based RPG with a gripping storyline, unique non-linear gameplay, engaging battles, artistic graphical assets and high replay-value.

In short, DarkEnd will deliver a unique and rich RPG experience. So, please give it a try, once its released. We will release a new demo, which reflect the actual game, soon :D

Thank you very much.

-Patch-
A number of people have pointed out that the Serpent Gate (portal) is bugged and has a black-screen error. Plus, there are several treasure chests which could be exploited to re-spawn infinitely. So here is the very first patch to fix the issue.

Edited : Added new patch to erase the debug short-cut which could seriously glitch the game. And also reduce the One-hit KO chances from some floor bosses.

Please download it and unzip the file:
- Put the "patchxxxxxx.rvdata2" file in /DarkEnd Demo/Patch.
-Delete any existing old patch files and replace with new one.
- Try going to different screens before using the portal (like going to the corridor of origins) and it will become functional.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Please feel free to point out any more bugs. Thanks! (^__^)

Please try it out and give us feedback! Thanks (^__^)

Private-Demo Screenshots and Last Promotional Artwork

Hello again! It's been quite a while since we last updated. It's only because we have been very busy, finalizing the playable demo for private testing. It's nearly ready and we will release the public demo as soon as the private testers approve the game to be bug-free. But nevertheless, here are some sneak-peek screenshots :)


The party is dungeon-diving in the corrupted forest. Enemies will be visible so that the players can decide whether to battle or flee


The size of visible enemies will reflect their party's strength. The larger they seem, the more powerful they are.


Treasure chests will be randomly spawned, as well as the treasure inside. Don't you just love the feeling when a random treasure chest spawned a legendary equipment?


Floor objective- Search for the magic key, which can unseal the magic portal and lead you deeper into the Dark spire.

That's all the sneak-peeks for now, and here is the last promotional artwork, featuring Lucion, the Knight-Templar.



Feel free to share your thoughts :).
