In DD you manage a small village where you can hire heroes to your parties. You can have much more heroes than for one party and your base is never destroyed. If one party dies you can use others or hire next heroes to replace them. It's also needed to say that "whole party is dead" case can happen only in some very dangerous quests, most of the time it will be none or maybe 1-2 party members if something goes really wrong.

Well, thanks for the info. I guess I was talking more about rogue-likes in general than this specific game :)

Players will be tasked with defending the realm from incursions by all-new enemy-factions. Journey across the land in your stagecoach, upgrade your Inns, complete quests and defeat the final boss.

Kingdoms will feature themed adventure modules, each containing a different threat. Up first is Hunger of the Beast Clan, where players will be tasked with fending off the pitiless onslaught of the rotting and ravenous beastmen! Two more adventure modules are planned for release in 2025."

I wonder if they ever fixed the problem the first game had of only listening to the grognards.
