Darkest Dungeon®

Completed Darkest Dungeon after 74hr 51minutes with help from tips online. One of the best games I have ever played. So much so that at certain battles, I was holding my breath without knowing it. Also, the "grind" of the game is strangely rewarding and not boring like many RPGs due to the sense of discovery of tactics, team compositions, etc. You also have to train a lot of characters rather than just one team of superhumans by the end. This is also probably the only game I am going to continue to play after the main campaign to beat all the other side dungeons. Downside is there are things I wish are more clear. Such as when you first start the game, there are keywords that are not listed in the glossary and if it were not for the internet, it would have been painful as every decision in darkest dungeon has repercussions. And sometimes accidently you misclick and cant go back in the game, which is a fine tradeoff as I like that every decision in the game is permenant and it is what brings such great tension to the game. Here is the documentary that got me to buy it and I have no regrets: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thQvE6XEmis

A bit too heavy handed with the overly dark theme and seems like it's better played as a mobile game. Did not catch my interest but I'm sure it has it's place with many others.

I have tried to complete this on radiant difficulty multiple times. After one too many party wipes, dusting myself off, saying, ok I'll just start from scratch, the RNG is so F******D most of the time on the harder dungeons. People say that the Hag is the easiest last boss, but I lost my best party, and my best heroes to her, and only ONCE was that due to actually battling her. Other times, it was down to some BS combination of BS that has finally made me want to put this BS game down and tell the developers where to shove it. If you value your sanity, avoid.

Its a great game if you have to burn time at work or waiting for an appointment. But it really should have only been for tablets alone as it has no depth whatsoever. Its a dice roll tactics game that can be quite fun but quite repetitive after a short time. The art is neat but gameplay is very simple and boring. It is challenging but annoyingly as its just an endless grind. Like i said, short bursts of boredom could be dealt with by playing this game. Overall the game is worth about $5 and no more.

Well, I got a super-awesome $5 deal for it, and I figured, why not? But it's ridiculously hard - not just CHALLENGING, mind you - but pointlessly difficult. The random dungeons are identical. The various beasties with various hideous faces all have the same attacks and defenses. The rewards are defeatingly scarce. Your heroes are unrepairable, even when they are. After 4 hours of play I feel like I'm still just starting. I am not that sort of masochistic, I want to enjoy my games. I lament GOG's not having a "THIS GAME SUCKS" refund policy.
