Dark and Darker has made a big return to mainstream platforms including Steam and is once again in the news. If you’re one of the new free-to-play players looking for a solid start in the world of dungeon crawling, we’re here to help you find the best class.

Here's our rankings for classes in Dark and Darker.

Classes in Dark and Darker vary depending on the size of your party. For solo players, one class may be better than the other, while duos and trios may require some specialized skills for maximum effect. Here, we’ll look at classes in general and try to deduce which ones work best in common scenarios.

The Warlock is a good class, but by far the worst in the game. It can perform quite well and deal a lot of damage in both solo and group play, but the use of HP to cast spells and some of the other classes directly countering it makes it a poor overall choice for most players, especially new ones. It’s not a bad class by any means, it’s just that the rest are generally better.
