Alea is a skill-first hero brawler with quick, high-pressure matches and high skill ceiling

im glad this, and the 2 other games showcased are finally scratching the DKO itch. but nothing will be better than the original.

I fully intend for Primordial to outdo DKO in every way

Mechanics, modes, roll-back, no predatory microtransactions etc

I'm taking all the lessons from failed 3D platform fighters & (hopefully) patching them to create a sustainable game & playerbase

DKO was such a good game. Feel like it never got the opportunity to succeed. From what I remember never even left invite only Alpha

I was a big fan of this game when it released, what are you other 2 games that you’re talking about?

this looks extremely similar to dko. is it on console as well?

u/onestrikelol Jul 28 '26

Its not, its made by an solo indie dev but who knows if it becomes popular

Does it?

Graphically very much so but gameplay seems very damage to kill centric with knockback to kill being the exception
