    Information / Review English Darkanoid is an Action-Arcade Game that was developed by Shezo Games and is inspired by other games such as Akanoid. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2306518222 Gameplay / Story About Akanoid: It's a breakout clone that first appeared as an arcade machine. In Darkanoid, the player has to let a ball ricochet off with a paddle in order to knock colored stones out of a block. You mustn't miss the ball, otherwise you'll lose. There are…

    Not a bad dynamic arcade game. Quite difficult, often have to replay levels. Unpretentious graphics, but pleasing to the eye. Many levels, there are various bonuses + bosses. I think that to kill time Darkanoid is definitely the best.

    Darkanoid is the same old school game from the nineties that you or your parents may have played. The gameplay is not unusual: you go through simple levels, sometimes you get bosses as a bonus. The usual, but appropriate graphics, soundtrack throughout the game and a bit of nostalgia for old games. It's all about Darkanoid.

    And so, I decided to play something for the boring evening. Stumbled upon this game. Bought it, launched it and even sucked me I played at different difficulty levels. Wow, how normally it tightened The graphics are nice, it suits me Sounds - I didn't really listen, more than my own included listening or silence I spent the evening perfectly, and I will also while away the next time - when there is nothing to do Can I recommend purchasing? Don't mind - buy and play

    Oh yeah! the best version of the great arkanoid. The one-man added to the collection. Classic with modern graphics, I think that there will be no better versions, except maybe some kind of 3D mod) but still I think the limit has been reached and there is no better option than this one) --------- --------- ------ --- ----- - --- ----- --- . _

    Tried it again for a short bit. They seem to have fixed a few issues that I had mentioned as well as added achievements. They also added gamepad support but it's difficult to navigate menus as well as control the paddle with it. Stick to KB+M for now. Other than that, it's not a bad arkanoid clone. Currently in Early Access so I'd imagine there's more to come over time. Price is cheap so worth a try if you like this sort of game.

    Talk about knocking out of the park with your first Steam game for the developer!! WOW!! Darkanoid is a very well coded and oozing with quality outer space brick breaker with furious arcade action and two very different game modes to test your reflexes and challenge your hand-eye coordination! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qvwy6c7JrTo I've easily played over a hundred brick breaker games in my life, and this is easily one of the five best of all time for me! That's no small feat, but…

    Not a bad arcade game, I've played quite a lot of them. I liked that there are 2 modes, survival and classic There are various mechanics that I have not seen in other similar games. I go to cool my ass after the skating rink in the dota, but sometimes it happens that it burns even more) Nice picture and relaxed sound, I advise you to play, especially for arcade lovers)

    2D game with huge dynamics. Every second something happens, and your eye rejoices from this abundance of action. Good level design, each one is different from the last. Difficult gameplay, and in a good way. Overall, the game is cool. There is something to complain about, but this is a trifle that does not interfere with the gameplay in any way.

    There are few games that I can play for less then an hour and immediately come to the comment section to say 'this is worth recommending to others'. Darkanoid is definitely a game to consider playing if you were a fan of Arkanoid back in the day and are looking to get back into breaking bricks. I won't say the game is perfect though, the game is played from a 'side' perspective where you will bounce the ball towards the bricks from the right of the screen to the left (as opposed to bottom to…

    Playing this, I plunged into the atmosphere of childhood. Darkanoid is a remake of the classic Arkanoid, only with improved, colorful and detailed graphics. The game keeps getting better and better. Obviously, this game is one of the best investments of my money. I recommend buying it. Darkanoid 10/10

    I've played quite a few different arcade games, including both unloved fighting games and platformers. A good game, nice graphics, low system requirements. Would love to see it on mobile devices and multiplayer. Difficult and funny arkanoid. There are also a couple of bugs, but as the game has recently been released, the bug will be fixed soon. 9 balls out of 10.

    Darkanoid is the same Arkanoid, only with much better graphics. You control a paddle and break bricks. By knocking out all the bricks, you go to the next level. Special bricks fire bonus boosters from wider blades to the ball splitter. The game is a little difficult, but that's what attracted me, because I love the complexity. All in all, a good time-killing game, I recommend.

    Eh, a classic of the genre))) Darkanoid is an arkanoid, it even sounds similar) Well, if the facts about the game are worthy, very worthy, there are many levels (I would even say too many)), the picture is pleasant, as is the musical component. Excellent time killer my friends, I recommend)

    I love Arkanoid since Dandy and have played a great many, but Darkanoid was able to surprise and delight. The familiar gameplay here is diluted with just a ton of different mechanics and chips that make each new level something interesting and exciting, and most importantly, not like the past. Oh yes, there are also barefoot shoes, and believe me, they will organize a strong burning for you in the lower back, but it's worth it. Overall, this is by far one of the best (if not the best) Arkanoid…

    I completely forgot about playing this game as a kid so this was a great nostalgia moment for me! The creators did a really good job with the graphics and adding in layers of difficulty. I only made it to the third level but had a good time doing it!

    Darkanoid is a great type of good old classic, but with some interesting new mechanics. Nice graphics and childhood atmosphere will not let you get bored. In general, I recommend the game to all fans of interesting arcades, as well as old classics!

    Darkanoid is one of the worst games I've played, not only is the sound bad in places, but also not very optimized. There are two modes in the game that are not special, both are boring and in general I have not seen anything new in this game for myself

    Darkanoid - This is the hardest 2D arcade game I've ever met! The beautiful design is pleasing to the eye. Challenging levels that will keep you from getting bored. Variety of bosses, items and ships! I recommend to play for everyone at their leisure.

    Hello everyone! I think that you, like me, were attracted by the graphics and interesting description of this game. So, I bought this creation and I can say that yes, indeed, this game has that cool graphics and, most importantly, an exciting plot! I think I will play it for another couple of tens of hours. And I advise you, especially since there is a discount on the game now.

    In a word, a classic. This game has good graphics, minimum system requirements, good soundtrack and the most important thing here is the variety in the complexity of the locations and the mode with bosses. I hope in the future the game will develop and the developers will add even more content. Of the minuses, I can only single out the control, but here you need to get used to.

    Darkanoid is a fun action, arcade and logic game. The game is addictive from the first seconds, you want to play again and again. I definitely recommend this game 10/10

    Lovely smooth game, very enjoyable throwback :) Starts out fairly calm and adds a lot of cool extra mechanics and power-ups as you go. Challenging levels, and has a currency you can gather for later unlocks, that you can instead spend to get one more life. honestly a perfect 10/10 for what it is. Cons I found were minor; 1. Controller support not great - sensitivity slider only works for mouse. Mouse not at all strenuous to use in this game anyway if you have wrist trouble, very little input…

    seriously the cost is so big? playing this game, I realized that I was just wasting my money, there is nothing interesting in it, the outset is boring barefoot and sadness. The idea itself is not bad, but the implementation is terrible, I do not advise buying a game, do not waste money.
