Dark Void

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to get stuck in the Bermuda Triangle only to find yourself fighting aliens in an alternate world, Dark Void might just be your next PC fix. Sometimes called Dark Void Zero or simply Dark Void, this third-person action game mixes classic cover shooting with jetpack aerial combat. It’s a game where you juggle earthly weapons and alien tech, and yes, you get a jetpack—because why not?

What’s Dark Void About?

You play as Will, a pilot who crashes with his friend Ava in the mysterious Bermuda Triangle. Instead of a beach holiday, they land in a hostile alien dimension full of mechanical enemies. Your mission? Survive, fight, and figure out how to get back home. Nothing too fancy, just pure, frantic action. Need a challenge? You got it.

Key Gameplay Features

• Cover-Based Combat: Use cover like in Gears of War—positioning matters.
• Jetpack Flying: Switch up the pace with fast aerial battles.
• Varied Enemies: From easy targets to snipers hiding in the shadows.
• Mixed Weaponry: Machine guns, laser cannons, even a spare sword (lesson learned: always carry one).
• Singleplayer Story: Solo adventure focused with a decent enough narrative.

Why Give Dark Void a Shot?

Dark Void isn’t going to reinvent the wheel but if you like your shooters with a sci-fi twist and a jetpack, it scratches that itch pretty well. The game runs on the Unreal Engine, so you’ll get some visually solid environments—no complaints there. Plus, the AI keeps you on your toes with enemies that aren’t just bullet sponges but actually try to outsmart you.

Things to Keep in Mind

• Not every part of the story is super deep or memorable—it’s more about the gameplay.
• Controls can feel a bit clunky at times, especially switching between ground and air combat.
• If you don’t like cover shooters or sci-fi themes, this might not be your jam.

The Verdict

Dark Void offers a fun time with its mix of ground and air combat. It’s not perfect but you’ll find moments where dodging enemy fire or soaring above alien landscapes keeps you hooked. Looking for a solo shooter that’s a little different? Give it a shot. Worst case scenario—you’ll have some cool jetpack moves to brag about.
