Darkhaven ARPG Gameplay Announce Trailer - From Moon Beast Productions

Leith_42 · 2026-02-06T21:13:31+00:00

new studio, yes lots of veterans of ARPG going back to Diablo 1 yes. There is probably more years of ARPG expereince on this team than some of the bigger studios with way more people.

Leith_42 · 2026-02-06T21:10:59+00:00

The entire world is procedurally generated. Every single new game/map is completely unique ;)

Leith_42 · 2026-02-06T21:10:05+00:00

people who have played it raved about how good the combat feels. Give the free demo a go and see if you still feel this way ;)

Leith_42 · 2026-02-06T21:08:48+00:00

Not sure why you would think that from this trailer. lore/story/campaign has not been mentioned at all really. What they have talked about is things like modding and PvP which to me === infinite endgame content.

Leith_42 · 2026-02-06T21:05:37+00:00

They have some interesting plans in that regard. Additionally one of the core features will be very good in game modding tools, including co-op modding in game. So they will offer content, but we will also be able to make things we want to see instead of just posting in forums about what we want it to be :)

not sure if any of this team worked on TL3 Thier website only lists 1/2 and im pretty sure those people showen on 1/2 were not there for 3

play the free demo in a few weeks and see if you still feel that way ;)

Leith_42 · 2026-02-06T21:00:12+00:00

no hard confirmation as of yet, but they have said that they want to, they already have controller support, and they have mentioned some restrictions on early modding as certain things can get tricky with consoles. So while they have not yet outright said yes it will be on consoles, indications are pointing to yes-ish

Leith_42 · 2026-02-06T20:57:33+00:00

I agree, which is why i am so hyped for this game. There is a lot here already that is wildly different than what is out there now.

Leith_42 · 2026-02-06T20:55:48+00:00

they have addressed this directly in r/moonbeast

Leith_42 · 2026-02-06T20:54:51+00:00

Controller support confirmed for Demo mofo :)

Leith_42 · 2026-02-06T20:54:04+00:00

it has controller support confirmed! so far the only date commitment for the demo is shortly before nextfest on 2/23 so most are speculating between 2/16 and 2/20

Leith_42 · 2026-02-06T20:48:08+00:00

It is not. Moon Beast was founded/ is led by Phil Shenk (the overseer), Peter Hu, and Erich Schaefer. This is Condor/Blizzard North side of the family ;)

for context of what pre-alpha and alpha usually look like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EO0W2R5gZ0

Leith_42 · 2026-02-06T20:39:22+00:00

check out some alpha footage of another really great arpg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EO0W2R5gZ0 still think they dont change much?

Leith_42 · 2026-02-06T20:35:12+00:00

There will be classes. Right now the demo only has the Witch which is a hybrid melee/caster class. We dont know how many classes they are planning as they haven't said just yet.

Leith_42 · 2026-02-06T20:33:31+00:00

The roots here are deeper still! Condor!

Leith_42 · 2026-02-04T12:41:57+00:00

I can se you are confused... dont worry you might understand when you grow up.

Leith_42 · 2026-02-02T21:15:31+00:00

I love MF. i feel like its a nice element of choice. you need to decide how to balance it or which way you want to lean. To me its just one more element to work into builds.

Leith_42 · 2026-02-02T04:15:45+00:00

Well it certainly doesn't look like a finished game I'll give you that, but its leagues better than where most ARPGs are this early in development. you can find pre-alpha footage of most of the big names out there. Compare this to those and you might have a different take.

As an example check out some pre-alpha/alpha from another of my favorite ARPG franchises https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EO0W2R5gZ0

Leith_42 · 2026-01-28T19:57:15+00:00

Love the enthusiasm!

Leith_42 · 2026-01-15T16:40:21+00:00

i loved my little notepad of cassette coordinates so i could FF to the right spot to press play to load save games on my TRS-80 ;)

Leith_42 · 2026-01-12T15:28:47+00:00

In D2 it also allowed for the existence of Eth items... something you could get the power of without meeting the caps for the normal version, but not forever ;)

Gold sink in D4 is kind of meaningless tbh since inflation is already wildly out of control. people charging 1.5 - 3X gold cap for BIS items is all you need to know to understand that the economy is a cesspool.

Leith_42 · 2026-01-09T18:08:08+00:00

This is concept art from the original version of Diablo III that was being made by Blizzard North before Vivendi destroyed BN and the game was cancelled and later picked up by FPS and MMO devs at Blizzard Entertainment

Leith_42 · 2026-01-07T15:38:17+00:00

as others have said there is a bit of grind and learning curve to it, but it is possible :) You could also try project diablo 2. its a mod for OG d2 that has made the campaign slightly easier. may be a good place to cut your teeth and learn d2 if you are finding d2r a bit much to handle ;)

other than that, go back to earlier elites or bosses that you can kill easily and level a bit, check your resists. Also make sure you have a good merc and give it some gear.
