Dark Light's action is shown from the side, and the game's world consists of numerous platforms and rooms forming complex mazes full of hidden locations, traps, enemies, and alternate paths to the destination. The character's equipment is a special drone whose light allows you to see enemies and makes them vulnerable to attack, a jet pack that allows you to travel greater distances, and a variety of short - and long-range weapons, among others. During the course of the game, we develop our equipment and weaponry, which is especially useful in clashes against powerful bosses. Although the game's release was scheduled for next year, an early version of Dark Light was made available for purchase on Steam as part of the Early Access program, where it received very positive reviews.
