Description




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!

Don`t Do It.

Love the idea but hate the execution. Random numbers generator? Okay; just as long as it`s fair to the player; but it`s not. Avoided getting this game until years later when it was on sale for $7.49. Got it, sat on it until I got a new computer (Old one died) , and then installed once I got a new PC. Tried several times going through different strategies, even using videos and articles to help, but nothing worked. All you do is die while accumulating money and items where if you collect enough you get to upgrade certain areas (Stage coach, Blacksmith, Sanitarium, etc.). This is not what I call fun when it comes to gaming. As many others have said, I should have listened and I`m glad they only got me for $7.49. Again; love the idea, hate the execution.

Frustrating combat animations

Game is nice but slow combat pace makes it unplayable for me. It is really frustrating to wait for your turn so long and see the same combat animations again and again.

Outstanding

Well..18 different (!) and original classes, three ton of possible builds, stress, stuning (!) audio and visuals, new mechanics, dark and creepy Lovecraftian theme......shall I continue?? This is The Game I've been waiting for. Oh yes, sometimes it may feel like unfair, yes it will punish you, BUT if you will learn from your mistakes, adapt your playstyle and build to the current situation, then you will be rewarded by most beautiful and quite enjoyable game like you havenť been for a loong time. What are you waiting for? "The way is lit, the path is clear, you require only the strenght to follow it."
