Description
The world is living under the dark shadow of a nefarious dragon. Villagers are turning into stone. Armies of skeletons, swarms of wasps, and lumbering ogres lurk everywhere. Evil is spreading like wildfire. And you're the only one who can put an end to it.

Scattered across the kingdom are seven ancient major crystals which together invoke the power of the Orb. Without it, you have no hope of defeating your fire-breathing nemesis. You will creep through dungeons and castles, explore the wilderness, encounter traps, curses, and puzzles on your quest to unearth the crystals. It may take months. It may take years. It may take away any hope you ever had of living a normal, productive, twentieth-century life.

Darkstone is a classic hack'n'slash game with everything a good game of its kind should have: randomly generated loot, four character classes, a well-implemented cooperative mode, and four difficulty levels that use the well-known Diablo-style formula of each level being the possibility of further progression for you character. In addition, the game mechanics are extremely smooth and fluent. Bottom line, if you feel like killing some evil monsters and saving the world in the process you can’t possibly go wrong with Darkstone.
  • Randomly generated dungeons, quests, items, and four difficulty levels assure an exceptionally high replayability value.
  • Polished and rewarding cooperative mode lets you enjoy the entire game with up to three of your friends at once.
  • Four classes to choose from (warrior, wizard, thief and monk), each offering a unique gameplay style.

good game initially but quickly turns

i got to the boss on level 4 and he is overpowered. he killed me in a matter of seconds because i have to use weak armor just to get to him. i tried to escape through the wall but, he hit me even then. good thing it was cheap when it is so unbalanced.

DarkStone is a 32bit Game

I have Win 8.1 (64bit) and DirectX9. This game will load but I'm unable to get past the main menu. Have tried using the keyboard & mouse to no avail. Just discovered the game is 32bit and that's prob why it won't run on my pc.

Ugly looking game

Ugly looking game... don't waste your money on it like I did and also no gamepad support although it is an old PlayStation game and there are no resolution settings... I mean what the hell? Also a negative point is that the mouse wheel is not used to zoom in and out like it should be but to change your current spell... I mean how retarded can you get as a game developer? I despise this damn game... It's an abomination. Torchlight and Torchlight II are five million times better than this crap... don't waste your money.
