Darfall is a fantasy strategy game in which you lead a hero and protect a settlement from undead forces. Its campaign follows missions across the continent of Aganor, while survival maps challenge you to withstand increasingly dangerous nights.
During the day, gather resources, explore nearby lands, and build up your town. Set workers and buildings to supply production chains, then recruit troops and prepare defenses before enemy waves arrive at night.
Heroes gain levels, learn skills, and collect artifacts. You can craft equipment to improve units, and the game includes an editor for creating and sharing scenarios, maps, quests, and scripted campaigns.
In this sample, players who enjoy Darfall often praise its blend of RTS settlement-building and RPG hero progression, along with survival maps and the familiar feel of classic fantasy strategy games. Reviews also frequently describe the campaign as short or the game as unfinished, and criticize its slow economy and balance. Many reviewers say development appears to have stopped; these comments reflect the supplied reviews, not a representative survey.

Stand against the undead hordes in a campaign inspired by fantasy classics. Discover the continent of Aganor across many challenging missions, push back the darkness, and protect your people.

Use the day to gather resources, fortify your town, and explore the surrounding lands. When the night falls, defend your people and their homes against the waves of enemies, until the break of dawn.

Face the challenges with the help of legendary heroes - wizards, warriors, and more. Utilize their varied skills, level them up, and arm them with powerful artifacts won throughout your adventure.

Build your own scenarios, maps, quests, and even whole, scripted campaigns with an extensive in-game editor. Share your creations with other players and set your imagination free.

Test yourself in a challenging survival mode, where every night brings new, growing terrors. Survive the onslaught, and rebuild every morning to face the undead hordes again. Fight until you win glory… or reprieve in death.
