Skyrim inspired Dungeonborne's first playtest has attracted thousands

If, like me, you think a lot of extraction games feel a bit too similar, you may not want to try yet another new one on the market. But, what if I told you this one had skeletons and swords instead of militias and rifles? Dungeonborne uses the tried and tested formula games like Escape from Tarkov and Gray Zone Warfare have mastered, but infuses it with Skyrim-style dungeons filled with supernatural baddies for you and your squad to hack, slash, and fire spells through.

Dungeonborne is like a bleak, hardcore Skyrim, and you can play today

You forget sometimes just how cruel and nasty the world of Skyrim can be. On the surface, it's an idyllic, snow-capped paradise, replete with traveling bards, fortifying broths, and roaring fireplaces. But descend into its dungeons, and hell awaits. Dark and Darker takes the grimdark dungeon-crawling experience to new heights, a first-person RPG where every battle is hard won - and defeat is swift and crushing. Somewhere in The Elder Scrolls and DaD lies Dungeonborne. Playable right now thanks to a new beta, its creator talks exclusively to PCGamesN about balancing the bleak with the magical.
