Darkness pointless?

[Kaizer]

It's already pretty useless in late game normal mode, but in hell mode, where you need it even less, and you have very limited options to reroll chamber rewards, it's fell like very poor game design decision.

Thank you for the feedback. We agree the role of Darkness is currently limited in the late-game, or even sooner if you're playing in Hell Mode.

We have plans to do more with Darkness in our coming updates, so we're not finished with it yet. Other aspects of the resource economy of the game will likely evolve as we add more content and make additional changes.

For now, in normal mode, Darkness helps many players in the early game as they learn the ropes and start being able to progress further in their escape attempts. Longer term, once the Mirror is mostly maxed out, you can use Darkness for some trades at the Wretched Broker.

Does that mean you need to unlock all Mirror options for Darkness trade-in option to appear? The amount of keys needed to unlock all Mirror upgrades is obscene as is, locking Darkness trade-in behind it would just be a rotten cherry on top.

I ran out of uses for keys ages ago, having unlocked all the weapons and all the Mirror Upgrades. I'm still about 1600 Darkness away from unlocking the fourth Fated Authority, and I'm not sure if there's a fifth one but if there is, that means I'm 6600 away from completing it.

Darkness trade-in is not a persistent option, but it shows up occasionally as the limited option.

I saw someone who said it goes up to 10 and the last one costs 50.000 darkness lol.

The full mirror is around 170000 darkness.

It doesn't go that high. It stops at 4 or 5.

Nope. I have the mirror maxed and it does go that high. From 6 to 10 the last five levels cost 10.000 + 20.000 + 30.000 + 40.000 + 50.000.

Sheesh, and the limit is 2500 on Hell. Makes me kinda regret starting on it.
