Motion sport developer Motion Sq. revealed an open playtest for his or her extraction PvPvE dungeon crawler title, Dungeon Stalkers, beginning at present. The multiplayer extraction sport is the primary of three to be showcased throughout their at present ongoing Motion Sq. Steam Fest. These enthusiastic about taking part within the playtest merely want to go to the Dungeon Stalkers Steam web page and click on the inexperienced Request Entry button.

Darkish and Darker mashed the dungeon crawling and extraction genres collectively, and Dungeon Stalkers appears to be like to increase on that. I had the chance to delve into a couple of dungeons in Dungeon Stalkers a few weeks in the past and had fun slicing up different gamers to take their loot earlier than making an attempt to extract. Dungeon Stalkers could be very clearly impressed by Darkish and Darker, nevertheless it additionally provides its personal contact as nicely.

Maybe the obvious change is the artwork type. Despite the fact that the dungeons are nonetheless darkish—and actually on the construct I performed, VERY darkish, although I used to be informed that might change—the characters and enemies within the dungeon have a extra animated type to them. That is amplified by the skillset of the characters. Whereas Darkish and Darker makes use of extra methodical Dungeons and Dragons type expertise, Dungeon Stalkers leans extra into massive loopy expertise. One of many characters wields a two-handed sword that you could cost as much as primarily whirlwind round. Total it looks like an enchancment on the style, and I’m excited to see the place Dungeon Stalkers finally ends up.

There’s no launch date for Dungeon Stalkers but, however the open playtest runs by December 4.
