Dark and Darker is a hardcore PvPvE dungeon crawler. Players select their class, choose their loadout, then descend into the depths of deadly dungeons in search of loot. While you can go alone, you can also party up and adventure together. This may leave you wondering how to play Dark and Darker with friends.

How to play Dark and Darker with friends

To play Dark and Darker with your friends, you can either invite them to your game or join theirs. This can be done in the main menu. Simply press one of the + buttons to the left and right of your character, search for their name, and then send them an invite. Once your friend is in your lobby, they will need to ready up, and then you can start the game.

One thing to note is that there is friendly fire, meaning you can kill your teammates. This is especially noticeable with wizards and the infamous fireball. When playing with friends, be careful not to get in each other’s way if you are playing melee, and avoid crossing a ranger or wizard’s line of fire. Clerics are a great class when playing in a party, thanks to their healing spells.

Can you play Dark and Darker solo?

You can play Dark and Darker solo, but this is much harder than playing with friends. Monsters have a lot of hit points and can easily kill you. If you find yourself facing a party of other players, you typically don’t stand a chance. In situations like these, you will want to avoid combat and hide or run away.
