Join Eric and Will from the MMG as they dive into the brand new Steam demo for Expedition Into Darkness! This looter extraction game brings a dark, medieval dungeon-crawling experience similar to Dark and Darker and Dungeonborne. In this video, we explore the character skill trees, test out the combat mechanics with the bastard sword, and try to survive a chaotic run through 'The More' map filled with skeleton archers, wizards, and giant spiders. We discuss the current state of the demo, the interface layout, and whether this game has what it takes to be the next big extraction hit in Q4. Don't forget to check out the demo on Steam and let the devs know the MMG sent you! Stick around until the end for our epic, near-death extraction escape.
