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!

RNG giveth and RNG taketh away.

Very good turn based RPG, very punishing. Don't get too attached to your heroes, anyone can die once things start to go bad.

Was fun intill it boke.

I've plated like 20 hours untill I came to a Weald boss 2/3 and the game keeps crashing at that point. IF I reload my game, it crashes again. Seems a problem that exicted for years I've read on the forum. The devs keep responding with 'send us your save game, maybe we can fix it', but thats not how bugfixes should work. Fuck my 20 hour progress. Such a shame, otheriwse I'd give it 4 stars.

The perfect stategy game

Rating: 5/5 In short: A dark and gritty adventure that takes strategy gaming and risk management to new hights. Noteworthy: + Very fun but unforgiving core gameplay + Great replay value due to many "hero" classes and variations + An interesting dark narrative which is subtly interwoven with the gameplay + Sound design and voice acting is spot on (the quotes of the narrator will be forever imprinted into my memory) + Awesome and atmospheric art style (I love it!) + Great DLC which expand on the core game in interesting ways - Difficulty may be overwhelming at first Appendix: This is centainly NOT a game for casual gamers who are looking for a cheap thrill. The game teaches you that extremely fast.
