Darkion

Darkion is a fantasy game built around competitive PvP battles and skill-based combat. You fight alongside summoned creatures, and team up with other players to complete the campaign and earn legendary items that you can trade with other players.

Characters and story

The game brings warriors from different cultures and time periods together on the same battlefield because the angel guardian responsible for keeping time linear is absent. You can choose from historical characters with their own backstories, abilities and strengths, including a 15th-century Japanese samurai who fights with a katana and a British Empire Redcoat musketeer from 1780. Other examples include ninjas, Vikings and pirates.

Summon and command entities

You can summon entities during battle and give them commands through a radial menu. Their abilities and intelligence vary: some can focus on specific enemies or prepare ambushes, while less discerning entities may attack friendly players unless you direct them otherwise. Environmental conditions also affect their strength and effectiveness. Some are stronger near water or fire, or during particular times of day or weather; flying entities can be ordered to attack from the air.

Combat and audio

The game uses Unreal Engine 5, including Nanite, Lumen and MetaHumans. Its audio uses Microsoft's Project Acoustics to simulate sound waves, and proximity voice chat changes how other players hear you based on your location and the sound absorption of the surrounding environment.
