DE in an absolute power move decided to give the game away 10 days after I bought and played through it. 😭 Well worth it tho, for what it was for its time and the bs the devs needed to deal with in order to get the funding needed for the game. Honestly, without Dark Sector turning out the way it did, who knows if we'd get Warframe the way it ended up being developed and it honestly may've been for the best. Graphics still hold up fine to this day imo and there were parts that were genuinely challenging to tackle but remained both fair and fun. Overall a solid experience in my book.

DE, remaster this and put it in Warframe as a secret. Or resell it for $10, like something please this is such a fun game. It's buggy, sure, but the bugs are all funny. The gameplay is still solid, story is entertaining, just fix the post processing and the 16:9 resolution please I beg you.

I played DarkSector back when the game first launched on PS3. I instantly fell in love with it as well as following Digital Extremes games for many years (My Dad played their pinball games, I played Unreal a fair bit.) So, once DarkSector released I jumped on it after playing the Demo. This game honestly surprisingly aged well, I can still play this and enjoy it like I was first playing it back on the PS. The controls are easy to pick up, the story is fun, the glaive is just my go to (Especially in Warframe lmao) I recommend people give DarkSector a go, especially if you adore Warframe. Trust me it hits hard when you played this before joining Warframe.

I am loving this game so far. 2 thumbs up. I am playing this game on the steam deck, and it should be steam deck verified. This game needs achievements.

Came here after Tennocon 2024 and the 1999 showcase, game is old but still pretty good, nice to see the early designs that would be updated and used in Warframe later
