Hello Darfall Community! It’s been a few months, and today we’re back with some news! We spent this time well, implementing the feedback we got from our last demo. Before we dive into details, including information on a new demo, have a look at this brand new trailer, and see if you can notice any difference! [previewyoutube=EVBXlI9-hNA;full][/previewyoutube] We’re happy to share that Darfall now has brand new visuals! We overhauled the game’s graphics into new, low-poly style. We hope you’ll enjoy defending your towns, and pushing back the darkness, with this new aesthetic!
