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.

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

Punishing and beautifully crafted, Darkest Dungeon is cruelty at its classiest.

88/100
A wonderfully executed, brilliantly stressful reinvention of party-based dungeon-crawling, Darkest Dungeon is great fun, even when it's cruel.

Still broken 6 years later
Dont even want to get into it, I dont mind hard but this game is absurd. The malady and stress systems are just not fun at all.

Hardcore as hell
Unforgiving, hardcore, darkest more than dungeons, frustrating as hell but still really good game... If you like to watch how your party die like flies, if you like to see how they're go insane from that terror/horror, if you like permadeath, if you like turn based games... Just buy it and start to curse the day when you did that:) 8/10
