Worth a try, but only if you mod it
I love the concept of this game and the storyline structure. But it is fatally flawed and will only be tolerable to a small minority of people who don't mind long grinding games and repetitious restarts. As others have mentioned, the game lacks balance. It is way too easy to die; actually dying (a lot) is a core gameplay mechanic. However, if you are willing to either install mods or to tweak some game files yourself, this game can be somewhat enjoyable. I really can't recommend the game unless you are prepared to mod it in order to reduce the frustrating grinding. The game has a rather interesting storyline and structure, You are called upon to clear out the monster-infested estate of your family and to find the source of the evil. As you crawl through various dungeons with your four adventures, you get loot and other items that can be used to upgrade the local town. Your adventurers come from several classes and can be upgraded and leveled up by going into dungeons. These mechanics can get quite repetitious; however, the whole stress dynamic keeps things interesting. Fighting monsters can give your heroes all sorts of mental and physical ailments that can only be fixed in the town. Certain items (trinkets) that you find while adventuring, along with some stress-reducing character skills, can address problems related to stress, but the town has the best fixes, along with places for upgrading equipment, recruiting new heroes, buying provisions, and so forth. It all works well enough to keep things interesting, but again, can get quite repetitious and laborious over time. The ending of the game is a bit silly and anticlimactic, but whatever. The most fun is to be had in close fights when your heroes are well matched against a group of enemies. The narration and writing are top notch, and the sound effects and music create a dreary atmosphere. I like the simple art style, which is appropriate to the setting and story. Darkest Dungeon is worth a try for fans of RPGs and D&D type games. However, for most people, it will not be worth the bother in its default state--you'll die all the time, will never become attached to your fragile heroes, and will not make much progress in the game, even with all of the grinding.
