Darksburg is an upcoming co-op survival action title from Shiro Games, developers of the highly regarded Northgard strategy game. Taking a break from strategy, Darksburg pits teams of four against hordes of “infected” that threaten to overwhelm the town.

    I'm curious as to what exactly classifies this as survival. The screenshots make it look more like a defense game or an ARPG.

    If it comes down to yet another hunger/thirst babysitting and crafting simulator, I'll be skipping this one.

    "The idea for Darksburg came from our strong attachment to co-op game mechanics (our main point of reference here was Left4Dead)."

    I think its a survival in the scene of not dying to the waves of zombies and boss fights.

    I was thinking the same thing, I am guessing they are meaning survival is just staying alive from Zombies..Less of a survival like eating, drinking, keep me alive type game which everyone has seem to get on the bandwagon with..

    The whole bar management type of survival is really just an excuse to mask the lack of content (or the same content copy pasted over a large world).

    I think the concept sounds cool, but I'm not into the silly over the top kind of gameplay. I don't want an innkeeper that throws soup as a support character. Or a person wielding a spoon.
