Dark and Light
The shattered remains of the mother planet Gaia float in stark contrast against the sky on nearby satellite planet, Archos, serving as inescapable evidence of the dark forces surrounding the world. As a lone explorer in the wilderness, you must learn to understand the terrain, natural resources, as well as how to domesticate the local creatures and build a home. You will need to harness and control the magical energy that courses through the planet, or you risk being consumed by the looming darkness that permeates throughout the planet. Every aspect of Dark and Light has been re-imagined, re-worked, and upgraded from the 2004 original. Gaia’s very existence is dictated by primal elemental forces, including wind, earth, water, fire, light, and darkness. These elements course through the world, sometimes clashing and causing earth-shattering changes.

sad to see so much potential flushed away especially when all it would need as a small smidge of new content and a good spit shine in the polishing and it would be a legendary game even more so if it calls back to the modding community for player crafted imersive servers like ark has or conan exiles or any other big name in the genre please snail hear the ones who still love this game and resuscitate this gamr

This is an insanely good game. The devs abandoned it though and that is why the reviews are actually bad. No it is not barely playable, the game plays perfectly fine and is everything you could want from the genre that it is. If the devs would come back to it would be awesome.

Picked up this game despite the negative reviews, and it's super good. Especially for a game that was Abandoned, This game is very much Playable.
Looks amazing, Plays Amazing, The Questing, Base Building and overall survival aspect of this is really good.
If you are or were a fan of Ark, You will definitely enjoy this game! It's just lacking a Player base.
10/10
BUY IT, Maybe we can bully the devs into updating it! xD

So I got this game due to Ark. I put lots of hours in this game. I had some fun moments with two available maps. The game however struggles with lots of bugs and empty space. It's been some years since the last update and now in the stage of "abandoned". D&L decided to try making a mobile version. The game had some beta months in 2023, but now gone quiet in 2024. Anyways I decided to click recommend to give the game "Hope" with all the fun I had playing with 700+ hours which likely never ever happen. Likely won't play again unless the dev comes back to this game & fixes it.

The 2 major issues I'm having with this game is the building and exploration. First with the building is as i'm trying to make a base the floor and ceiling pieces are placed every which way with no way of manually rotating the pieces. The only way to rotate the pieces(flooring for example) is to place down your first piece, then pick it back up after placing down other pieces and you can only destroy the pieces instead of just picking them up so after placing other pieces down you have to destroy your first piece, craft it again, then it will place correctly with the rest of the floor. Secondly the world is super big with no way of navigating it. I've unlocked the map through earth magic and crafted it, but I haven't been able to use it at all and I've explored 4-5 different areas by this point and I've only learned the few areas i've been in so far is because I'm just trying to make sure I know the way back to my base so i'm not just lost in the wilderness unable to find anywhere. I think the game just needs a map in the menu to look at anytime you need to instead of having to train earth magic to rank 3 and then finding the right areas to use the map in? I've mainly had to rely on forums on the game to figure out where things like altar's and specific village's are since I can level up and rank up specific parts of knowledge to be able to get quests like killing elite enemies, but there's no hint at all on where to find the altar's like the boglord. I've found the general area for it, but between the size of the area and the enemies in the area I'm just running around like a chicken with it's head cut off avoiding a certain mob(frogs) and still haven't found the altar after 15 minutes of looking. Please improve base building and just give us a minimap/big map to switch between without ranking up and leveling for it. The game is really fun, but these are my 2 main issues so far. I'm more than happy if someone can correct me if I'm completely wrong so i can delete this.
