👑 Dank Domain: the return of Hack & Slash

👑 Ɗanƙ Ɗomaiƞ

the return of Hack & Slash

Read the Player's Manual and Play the online game

Ɗanƙ Ɗomaiƞ is basically a bulletin board built around a medieval role-playing atmosphere (or is it the other way around?). Instead, you live the online game as you kill, steal, brawl, and joust the other members to gain levels and fortune. The success of this game is dependent upon the users that play it. Your involvment will not only provide you with entertainment, but also shares your activity with the other players.
