Putting an overpowered build together in Dark and Darker is a great way to have more fun playing solo, something these builds should help with.
Dark and Darker is an excellent cooperative dungeon crawler. Solo players can enjoy the game, but it is primarily aimed at small-group play. Using a lobby system, players can form a party in advance, or rely on the automated matching feature to head into a dungeon for some great hack-and-slash combat.
As with almost every multiplayer game that has a class system and skills, some players are able to create builds that are overpowered. These are either specialized builds for certain situations, such as 1v1 PvP, or generally overpowered builds that enable the player to steamroll most content. It is possible to design and create such builds in Dark and Darker, such as with the examples below. 5 Bad Boy Fighter
