Dark and Light is a vast sandbox RPG set in a world dominated by powerful elemental forces. Find your way in a meticulously crafted world, featuring breathtaking landscapes, a wide variety of mythical creatures, and limitless possibility to craft, build, and unlock over 100 abilities.
As some of you might know, I hardly write on PC-related games on this site but deep down inside, I’m a hardcore PC gamer *flex*. Recently, I happened to read about Dark and Light on some other gaming website and found that the game does have the potential to be the next big thing.
Here’s an intro of the weather system. Dark and Light‘s weather and day/night cycle influences the gameplay and environment, improving on the already highly developed weather systems found in many sandbox games.
Daylight lasts about 50 minutes in real time and is ideal time for exploring far and wide. Hunting is safest during daylight hours as many creatures are less aggressive, and players are less susceptible to surprise attacks. Of course, on a clear day with no rain, players will be able to enjoy miles of visibility from high altitudes, and can experience breathtaking views of Dark and Light‘s expansive scenery.
Dark and Light‘s world becomes increasingly dangerous as night falls. Plenty of menacing creatures imbued with dark magic lurk in the forests at night, and some creatures become incredibly aggressive when the sun has set.
Weather also has an effect on your survival stats. On rainy days, exploration is harder because players will get cold more quickly, and will also get hungry more frequently. Rainy days will keep you more hydrated, however. Players who are planning to explore and roam long distances will need to equip themselves accordingly based on conditions in the field.
Dark and Light’s website and Steam store page are now live. Players can sign up for the Dark and Light newsletter to receive regular updates and add the game to their Steam wish lists.
