Not as unforgiving with right approach.
Darkest Dungeon is a game best described as "Diablo meets Human Resources Manager". Indeed, the heroes you're managing are just resources, weapons in human form. You shouldn't attach to any particular hero and I think that classifying DD as a role-playing game is a bit misleading. In the core of the game you systematically pick a team of 4 heroes and explore dungeons with them, hoping to get resources out of it - gold and 'heirlooms' that push you toward the ultimate goal - assaulting the great evil in the titular Darkest Dungeon. In short you put resources in (maintenance cost of your heroes and supplies) and get dosh out and spend the surplus on improving your 'prime' heroes, rince repeat. It almost never gets boring, and seeing your party being able to clear more and more dangerous missions and managing 14 different hero classes (each with a unique skill set) and picking right stat-boosting 'trinkets' - all of it is simply wild fun. The game offers several boss fights that force you to think of the optimal skills to take them down, so even the fact that most of said bosses appear 3 times each (1 time per dungeon difficulty level) doesn't take the fun away. The combat system is simple yet satisfying and involves picking a skill set for each of your 4 heroes, placing them in a row (each skill can be used on specified slot set and has it's fixed set of targets as well) and then fighting off enemies in initiative order. Animations during combat are simple, but they manage to create a feeling of powerful blows and spells being delivered (and recieved). Aesthetically Darkest Dungeon has a unique style which I would describe as Diablo-meets-Lovecraft-meets-great Flash games. It's a one-of-a-kind cartoony fantasy horror, which has a value of it's own. The creatures range from standard, a bit uninspired skeletons to Carpenters-Thing-like abominations and the deeper you dwell the more twisted the foes become. DD is not perfect, but you won't regret a penny spent.
