About
Dark Light: Survivor is a dark sci-fi survivor-like action roguelike that blends bullet heaven chaos, ARPG loot, and third-person shooting.
Switch anytime between top-down survival combat and TPS action as you board the Phantom Train, humanity’s last hope for escaping the Dark Void. Journey through a shattered multiverse, fight endless horrors, loot deadly weapons, and create powerful builds as one of the last Dark Hunters.
Each world brings new enemies, bosses, weapons, and choices. Push deeper into the darkness, uncover the path to Elysium, and survive long enough to keep humanity’s final dream alive.
Switch camera. Loot hard. Survive the Dark Void.

It's quite challenging and a decent game if you like bullet hell survivor games Just enough content to kill time before doing something else.
The most fun I've ever had in a single player roguelike!!! I love it so much! Everything about it is amazing, no complaints.
Love the ability to switch between overhead and 1st person in a survivors game. Love the aesthetics. Game could use some help balancing and better training/rules/introduction. But great overall.
Loving it. Once more variations for buffs/equipment are added along with some improved UI issues (like not being able to click parts of menus). This is one of the cooler "Survivor Likes" I've experienced. EDIT: My biggest complaint is that ALOT of the spec trees and abilities revolve around MELEE. A good 70% or more seems to be melee oriented.
Dev team, Best of luck on this title, I think its a gem tbh - just take feedback in stride and hopefully reach vision you all want it to be. I am happy to be along for the ride since this takes me back to old shootem up overhead arcade shooters with a roguelike system on top of it (which I agree needs to be ironed out/expanded abit) makes for a great time. My only concern is within the current game landscape seeking a never ending stream of content, maybe adding upgradeable systems/benches in the HQ can remedy that but i think the game loop is fine. Good luck guys love what you got so far
Enjoyed the side scroller, didn't hesitate to buy this as soon as it went up. Best impulse buy on Steam ever. What's not to love about this game? Music slaps, the vibe is very deliberate, combat is fun as hell! The gameplay loop does well to keep that dopamine coming at a steady pace. I don't know what the team behind this put in this game but I can't stop playing it!
Great game, would've bought this game myself but a friend beat me to it. For an older PC this game runs fine with no major glitches that would take the fun out of the game. More Can be added but where the game is I can't complain.
a very fun game with awesome 3rd person camera option that i just love and excellent music
This game is pretty awesome! I got it on a whim since I've been in a roguelike kick the past few months. Oh my goodness this arguably is the best early access game I have played! There isn't a lot in terms of content, only three playable characters and a few relics might be pretty bare-bones, but this game has the potential to rival some of the crazy good rogues of today! If I can suggest anything, I'd like us to be able to collect different relics, weapons, more weapon attachments, and possibly armor to make other characters and builds a taaaad more viable. If anything, the loot aspect is on the *weaker side* of this game, I want us to have gear sets and harder difficulties to unlock more stuff! Great work devs! Be proud of your hard work!
The games pretty nice, I almost exclusively play competitive esports, so there's few games I step aside to play on the casual experience I love a lot of the aspects of it, it runs nice and well enough. I like the lore, the universe, characters, and character lines. The creatures are interesting, I like the abilities, etc. if you were to polish this game, and (Make it multiplayer, seriously, make it multiplayer), and make it 5$ for 3 months, I guarantee your purchases will go up, you will have more networth to work with, game exposure, feedback, and a lot of people who show interest. Among us was a basic, fun game, with a nice concept, it was non intensive, cheap as ♥♥♥♥, and probably under a quarter of the work you put in. IT was multiplayer, cheap, silly, and a nice party game with a familiar concept done in a silly cool way. There's no reason why you can't make this awesome game that gives almost a ps2 style horror feel in a modern landscape and graphics that would amazing multiplayer gameplay. it'd be easy to set multi objective based runs, etc. "world bosses" where any individual, or group of friends can come and fight if they join during say a 120 second window, and make that world boss maybe show up once a day. So whoevers around and on may get to enjoy fighting it together. theres a lot you can do
