Darkest Dungeon is a challenging gothic roguelike turn-based RPG about the psychological stresses of adventuring.

Reclaim Your Ancestor's Estate

Recruit, train, and lead a team of flawed heroes through twisted forests, forgotten warrens, ruined crypts, and beyond. You'll battle not only unimaginable foes, but stress, famine, disease, and the ever-encroaching dark. Uncover strange mysteries, and pit the heroes against an array of fearsome monsters with an innovative strategic turn-based combat system.

Core Features

  • The Affliction System – battle not only monsters, but stress! Contend with paranoia, masochism, fear, irrationality, and a host of gameplay-meaningful quirks!
  • Striking hand-drawn gothic crowquill art style
  • Innovative turn-based combat pits you against a host of diabolical monsters
  • Narration system to celebrate your successes...and failures
  • 16 (and counting!) playable hero classes, including Plague Doctor, Hellion, and even the Leper!
  • Camp to heal wounds or deliver inspiring speeches.
  • Rest your weary, shell-shocked characters in town at the Tavern or the Abbey to keep their stress in check.
  • Classic CRPG and roguelike features, including character permadeath, procedural dungeons, and incredible replay



Can you stem the tide of eldritch horrors erupting across your family’s ancestral estate?

Descend at your peril!

Oh the despair! Amazing low spec game.

I cant get enough of the narrator, even when things are going wrong (which they will) his dry dark comments add so much to the feel of the whole game. And what a feeling, you suffer and celebrate every mistake and success, no matter how small, with each member of your ragged band of "heros". The game pulls no punches and is purposefullz challenging (and thats on easy) and the interesting quirks and foibles your characters collect vary things even more. but you have to accept you wil never have "clean" heros with just beneficial characteristics and that sometimes things dont go your way. It makes ever success taste better! They really did an amazing job with the whole ambience/feeling! Another great thing about this game: it runs on a potatoe (including an intel N100 system with no graphic card). And its turn-based. However play really needs a mouse (controllers are supported but i didnt find a way to navigate the map with one).

Darkest Dungeon

The games was a lot of fun until a recent update that prevented getting rewards while going through the shards quests.

A Masterpiece

Nine years after its relaese, this game is still a satple of my collection. Wether a quick unwind or an all day session, the turn based combat keeps me coming back. Even when RNGsus clearly hates me, I rarely feel the game is unfair, but rather, I took a bad bet and lost. The only thing that still makes me rage is getting a suprise round on the enemy, only to have my killing blows fail, and losing partymembers to 2 full rounds of concentrated attacks, but I'm always back within a few day to delve the cove again.

An Excellent game

Nothing much to say, voices, image, sound, music, the mubbling cursing while you lost everything that you have been working for 30 hours, everything is perfect. But i have a problem, the Butcher Circus DLC is nowhere and the game says that the DLC exist, its not that ruins the game or anything, but the events of that DLC apears and can take away other events form the game.
