Gameplay

Mørk Arms has the player become the Beast Buster, a human who can’t remember their past but has made a pact with The Master to gain power. As they explore the Mørk Realm, they learn more about the nature of the world and meet Joyce, a girl with a connection to the people who live in this world of monsters.

The player can collect the spirits of the various demons and zombies they fight in the game with a gun known as “The Catcher”.

The player-character can then use captured spirits to ‘feed’ their weapons and evolve them into more powerful forms. For example, the Handgun evolves into the Sub Shotgun, which can evolve further into the Shotgun.
