Dark Swords — free online role-playing game (MMORPG)

Hero, you enter the world of Dark Swords: a fantasy realm where subtle magic and brute force, Light and Darkness, Order and Chaos are locked in struggle. Feats, adventures, undefeated monsters and unfound treasures await you here.

Hone your skill by completing quests and slaying monsters — and you may become the greatest of all. Create a unique hero and join one of the world’s religions: Light or Darkness, Order or Chaos.

The world is filled with distinct lands, from snowy plains to sun-scorched deserts, from peaceful cities to dark dungeons. Enemies will challenge you. Friends will die for you.

2026-11-06: RU-site update (Updates)

Russian site update.

RU-сайт восстановил свою работу на временном хостинге. Большинство сервисов (сайт, картинки, магазин) работают. Не работает вики и сайт может обновляться медленее. Как только наш хостер исправит ситуацию, мы вернемся к нему. Также работает русский сайт дилера (он с нами на одной платформе). В клиенте также должна уже работать графика и магазин при входе на русском языке. Спасибо за терпение.

2026-11-06: Seashell Season. (Events)


Until 13th of Nov, when fishing you can catch Shells. Collect a collection, or sell each for 2 million gold, or try to open them with a very low chance to get a rare pet, or additional fishing bonuses.

2026-11-02: RU site (Updates)

The RU website host is down. The website is temporarily unavailable. As a result, logging into the client takes a long time, and graphics don't load. Possible workarounds:

  • Wait a long time for the client to load and put up with the little bags

  • Switch the game language to English or Ukrainian. A VPN may be required.

I'll let you know when there is any news.

------------------

Хостер РУ-сайта лёг. Сайт временно не работает. Из-за этого в клиент долго заходит и не грузится графика. Варианты решения:

  • Долго заходить и мириться с мешочками
  • Переключить на английский или украинский язык игры. Может потребоваться VPN

Когда будет что-то известно - я сообщу.

2026-11-01: There wont be an event today (Events)

Unfortunately, I won't be able to host the Halloween event today. We've been without power in Dnipro for 1.5 days. The battery won't last long enough. We'll play the skeleton dice game later. I'll let you know more details. Sorry for the inconvenience.

2026-10-26: Day The Dead (Events)

Have a spooky Halloween! This year, we've decided to celebrate the Mexican version of this holiday—Dia de los Muertos or Day of the Dead.

From October 26 through November 1 (inclusive), for every dollar spent at the Dealer, you’ll receive +25 Platinum.

"Day of the Dead" is the only time of year when the dead can enter the world of the living. On October 26 in Antica City, "Gerardo" will give you a series of new quests. These are one-time quests and will be available until November 1. Players with a PVM subscription can purchase Magic Water for the quests from the in-game store.

Also, from October 30 to November 1 starting at 8:00 PM (server time), you may encounter a unique quest that only one player per server can complete. After that, the unique quest will be disabled, but the main Chain quest will remain.

Attention! To complete the unique quest, we recommend logging out of the game and selecting “Clear Data” in the login/password window under Settings.

In the Platinum Alchemy Shop, you can purchase the Witch pet (equivalent to a Genie). Spice up your holiday!

From October 26 until the server restart on November 2, Piñatas—very powerful unique monsters—will appear in certain regions. Break the Piñatas to receive sweet gifts (you must disable Asceticism). Remember, Piñatas take a very long time to “respawn.”

2026-10-24: Clock Change (Events)

Dear users, tonight (from October 24 to 25), many countries will set their clocks back by one hour. The game server does not change its clocks, so the morning restart on October 25 will take place one hour earlier, as will all other events on the server.

2026-10-23: Client v.4.1.0.2 (Client)

v.4.1.0.2

  • Clicking on a region name in the map window displays brief information about the region;
  • Fixed the translator;
