DARKTIMES is a brutal medieval dark-fantasy Brawler Royale that blends the epic atmosphere of ARPGs with the chaos of intense multiplayer PvP gameplay. Featuring a top-down camera, it combines visceral combat skill trees, and gritty dark comedy. Engage in savage, skill-driven battles full of brutality, ragdoll hilarity, and engaging social play. Rise from a peasant, claim riches, and forge your legacy as a legend. In DARKTIMES, Competitive matches pit up to six players against each other in five-minute rounds. Fighters can stun opponents, then execute them by hurling them into brutal environmental hazards such as wells, spike walls, or off the edge of the map. Most items can become weapons, creating emergent, unpredictable brawls where improvisation matters almost as much as skill. “DARKTIMES is the game we always wished existed, but which no one had ever built. So we did. It’s dark and it’s ominous, but it’s also fast-paced, chaotic, and grimly funny” said Lucien Dorman, founder at Big Kid Studios. DARKTIMES is developed by Big Kid Studios in collaboration with Blowfish Studios.
