About the Game

The Dark Realm is a bullet hell roguelike with emphasis on fast-paced gameplay. No more boring choices, dialogues and inventory management - just do everything as you go and enjoy the pure action as you try to survive in different environments, find countless items and equipment on your way, but be careful - with enemies around every corner, and occasional all-powerful bosses, it won't be that easy..

Key Features


Twelve distinct classes to play, with their unique playstyles and upgradeable abilities!

Randomly generated equipment and four different procedurally generated areas!

Over 130 pickup items, thousands of combinations. Keeping each run fresh!

Two separate gamemodes and four difficulties, so that everyone can enjoy The Dark Realm.

Infinite replayability and hours of fun (and pain on the higher difficulties)!
