Darfall, an Exciting Blend of RTS and City Builder, Confirms Release Date

How many genres can you mix in a new Steam game before it’s too much? Three, maybe four? The truth is, you can mix in as many as you want, as long as the game remains captivating and offers something fresh. Take Darfall, for example. This upcoming game is a fascinating blend of real-time strategy, city building, class-based RPG mechanics, and horde-slaying action. Judging by the reception of its Steam demo, this Paradox-backed strategy game is hitting the mark and has confirmed its release date is just around the corner.

Darfall defies easy classification into a single genre due to its unique design. The gameplay notably shifts with the day-night cycle. During daylight, players focus on building their settlement, managing citizens and resources, and embarking on quests for loot. But when darkness falls, it’s a different story—zombie demons and monstrous beasts rise, ready to attack your settlement. To survive, you’ll need to fortify your defenses and hone your combat skills, transforming the gameplay into an RTS-like battle for survival. Successfully repel these nightly onslaughts, and your city will witness another sunrise.

In Darfall, you also have the option to select from a roster of heroes, each offering unique abilities and gameplay styles. Whether you choose Ardan, the spell-casting elemental wizard, or Nariel, a skilled archer with a knack for communicating with animals, leveraging their strengths is key. As you advance, you’ll discover artifacts that can enhance your hero’s powers, making them even more formidable.

Visually and thematically, Darfall draws from a fascinating array of inspirations. Though set in a fantasy realm, the ominous nightly battles against massive undead hordes bring a zombie-game vibe to the table. Coupled with its low-poly art style, Darfall stands out as a fresh take amidst recent strategy game releases.

With its new trailer unveiling the storyline by adding narrative depth, developer SquareNite and publisher Paradox Arc have finally announced Darfall’s launch date.

Mark your calendars for Thursday, May 8, as that’s when Darfall is set to release. If your curiosity can’t wait until then, you can check out its demo on Steam right now. Simply head over to its Steam page to download the demo, add Darfall to your wishlist, or get more details about what this intriguing game has to offer.
