Arguably, Dungeonborne is one of the biggest competitors of Dark and Darker. Despite their differences, they convey a similar vibe of losing oneself in a dark, dire, and unforgiving world where monsters, but also other players, just wait to hunt you down. Both are free-to-play and in the Early Access stage of their development. If you feel tempted to give those games a try, yet you are afraid to deep dive into the unknown, Dungeonborne offers an interesting, beginner friendly mode called Mithril Order. If that gets your attention, here you will learn more about how it works in greater detail.
Mithril Order in Dungeonborne explained
Most of us require spending some time with a game to get good at it. Dungeon crawlers like Dungeonborne can be unforgiving and having a safe environment to practice and learn is always a good idea, hence the creators from Mithril Interactive gave us such an opportunity in a game mode called Mithril Order.
