An unforgiving hardcore fantasy FPS dungeon PvPvE adventure. Band together with your friends and use your courage, wits, and cunning to uncover mythical treasures, defeat gruesome monsters, while staying one step ahead of the other devious treasure-hunters.

Is this the game that was in embroiled in controversy about stealing assets?

Yeah, it looks like Nexon was trying to crush their competition (there was a lead developer that left Nexon and went to work on Dark and Darker).

The police didn’t find anything obvious when they investigated Nexon’s allegations. And they had already had an audit conducted by an external group:

Our code was built from scratch. Most of our assets are purchased from the Unreal marketplace. All other assets and all game designs docs were created inhouse. This has already been audited by an outside agency. As far as we know you cannot copyright a game genre.

The lawsuit that Nexon filed in the U.S. was eventually dismissed, but Steam pulled the game from their store, so that damage was already done:
