NetEase claims to have made full use of next-generation technology to create a world that is immersive and full of dark magic and realistic combat. The combat system has been made simple for mobile devices, allowing players to focus fully on the intense action, with every skill having its own unique animation when triggered. The enhanced graphics will give a much more intense view of battles, highlighting the attack effects and how enemies respond, creating a compelling sense of immersion.

The world is made up of a multitude of maps with their own different themes and level settings, such as the sand filled Demon’s Hill to the creepy Catacombs. Each of these areas contains its own unique array of enemies, ruled by grotesque bosses. Whilst adventuring through the world and battling these enemies players will be able to amass the knowledge needed to challenge higher difficulty levels to set new records and climb rankings. As well as the PvE content, PvP is alive and well in DarkBind, with a variety of PvP modes available for those competitive players.

DarkBind is still in development, with players being able to get updates from the official Facebook, Discord and Twitter groups.
