Darkest Grindiest Dungeon

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.

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."

Challenging, psychological, and stress
I am new to turn-based games. It tells you right in the description. Challenging, psychological, stress. I have 20 hours in and grave yard full of dead characters. only a third of my characters that are alive are at level 1. I have barely any gold. I have only 100% four of the Dungeons. Although, there is a lewd overhaul and some good nsfw skins. so, at least I have something nice to look at.
