A game reminiscent of Resident Evil 4 and Gears of War, Dark Sector, is now free to keep for Windows — 100% free for a limited time in a Steam’s giveaway offer! Don’t miss out, as Dark Sector usually costs US$9.99!
Dark Sector, stylized as darkSector, is a third-person shooter with themes of science fiction, espionage, and horror, where a CIA agent is infected with a virus that grants him the ability to summon a three-bladed glaive at will. It was developed by Digital Extremes and initially released on March 25, 2008.
Originally published by Aspyr and Noviy Disk (now self-published by Digital Extremes for PC), Dark Sector was made available for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Windows. The game received mixed to positive reviews from critics, with many comparing it to Resident Evil 4 and Gears of War for its similarities in gameplay and storyline. Additionally, it boasts thousands of very positive user reviews on Steam, as of this publication.
Digital Extremes would later revisit the setting and themes of this game in their subsequent release, Warframe, a free-to-play third-person shooter RPG launched in 2013, widely considered a spiritual successor to Dark Sector.
