- The upcoming extraction dungeon crawler Torerowa is set to launch very shortly.
- Scheduled for release later this month, it blends Dark and Darker's gameplay with classic JRPG style.
- Delve into the dungeon of Restos, collect treasure, and gain experience by battling foes.
Given the ongoing legal dispute with Nexon over Dark and Darker's development, and its mobile rebranding to Abyss of Dungeons, it's clear the original hack-and-slash extraction crawler has faced setbacks. However, a new contender has emerged: Asobimo Inc.'s Torerowa.
Even better, Torerowa's launch is imminent—arriving on September 25th. While it shares core mechanics with Dark and Darker, it carves its own identity by infusing the extraction dungeon-crawler formula with a classic Japanese fantasy aesthetic.
In Torerowa, you explore the Restos dungeon as a quintessential JRPG hero. The deeper you venture, the greater the risks and rewards become. Once your inventory is full, your final objective is to escape with your haul intact.
Definitely Dungeoneering
It's worth noting that Torerowa does have a somewhat budget presentation. While environments and most visuals are striking, character models can feel a bit rough. Still, these are minor points for an upcoming title that seems poised to resonate with its target audience.
I suspect many players were intrigued by Dark and Darker's concept but preferred a lighter tone. For them, Torerowa's vibrant yet perilous world is likely to be a perfect fit.
