My life for Super Earth.

The Helldiver corp was always a gleaming beacon of hope, but always too out of reach for me. But when Super Earth was invaded, our home, our land of freedom and prosperity, I was one of the first to join the effort, and I'm better for it.

Never have I fought so valiantly, side by side, with fellow brave Helldivers and SEAF soldiers.
I may be green, I may be young, my achievements might be few, but I will fight and I will die for Super Earth, for Liberty, for Prosperity, for Democracy!

This game is good but probably one of the least balanced games I've ever played.

Dark and Darker is a game that excels in delivering a dark fantasy aesthetic. It has great eerie maps, and it's classic high fantasy classes - races - gear, offer a unique experience in today’s gaming sphere. Plus, it's community is generally welcoming.

However, the game is quite flawed. Balancing being one of the biggest issues. Metas also shift constantly —where some classes feel overpowered one patch, they become nearly unplayable the next. Also server instability, bugs, trolls, and exploitative or broken mechanics definitely make the game feel annoying at times.

So, while Ironmace is a small studio that usually listens to feedback, something rare nowadays. Their lack of a clear game direction—and how to execute it—shows. Additionally, even though Ironmace is technically a small team, its a team of experienced developers, so even though they've gifted us with a game of immense potential, it's a bit sad to see how they've handled things so far.

If Ironmace can iron out these issues (pun intended), Dark and Darker will definitely stand out not only in its genre but amongst a lot of multiplayer games today. For now, the game is fun but has it's flaws, so it's best enjoyed with managed expectations.

*sigh*, hey YouTube, it's concerned mother. *sigh* I have been up all day and all night trying to figure out how to stop this, but, I ✨failed✨‼️Aaand In a matter of hours, this "game" ...if you want to call it that... called "The Cult of Mary Had a Little Lamb" is actually going to be available to the public. Aaand... in this is brainwashing piece that they have masquerading as a CHILDREN'S game⁉️Involves, animal... sacrifices⁉️and demon summoning⁉️⁉️Do you have any idea how close demon summoning is to ACTUAL DEMON SUMMONING⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️👿👿👿👿*sigh* So I don't know what else to do. Just, uh, smash subscribe and tell ten friends and *sigh* and let me know what you think about "Mary Had a Little Cult."

srsly tho, amazing game, great devs, worth a try :3

Fun and engaging game!
Only real critique is that it doesn't help you one bit, sometimes it's very difficult to understand what your objective is or how to accomplish it. Other than that, the campaign is very good and the free play is a nice way to chill.
(ps - it is also a bit buggy but it's only been out for a week. Bugs are common at release of pretty much every game :3... as long as they're fixed ;3)

So... This is a tough one.
I really like the game and I liked this DLC too. It definitively has some pros and cons. (a bit more cons sadly)

PROS:
- Fun and interesting story. Very interesting to see Theresa's pov and also her life, being a woman in the middle ages etc.
- DOG, THERE'S A DOG AND ITS GREAT. Plus the dog is really helpful during combat and useful for finding items/people/general bits and bobs for quests.
- Nice open map and enough time to explore.
- Combat is fun as always.

CONS:
- Running huge distances, all the time, for every quest. Its very exhausting, very quick. I had to take some breaks because it lost my attention or because the running was just a pain.
- Some continuity errors such as the Castle burning before the storm and so on.
- Cut-scenes are a bit dull (plus there's a slight disconnect between gameplay and cut-scenes. Where in one you're fighting and trying to help people, in the other you prefer to hide and watch).
- No customisation. You can't wear anything you pick up or find other than your current outfit, a plain dress and
the dress your dad got you. You can't wear any armour or even different shoes. Nothing whatsoever.

In my opinion, they had something pretty good going with this DLC. It had an interesting story and it was nice to follow but it also missed a lot of things that would keep the player engaged and focused.

I would've loved for the Devs to allow Tess to wear some armour, she fights so many of the Cumans (even though its more of a player choice tbf) and also saves and helps a lot of people. She's a good person and brave. The fact that they didn't allow her to be a bit more of a "fighter", give her some armour and grit, a woman who is much more independent and open than most back then, is just a lil sad.

I'd say that this is a pretty good and fun DLC to get. I did like playing as Tess more than Henry tbh. Preferably buy during a sale, and be ready to run quite a lot :3
