Darkest Dungeon®: The Crimson Court

RNG Based game

I've put many hours into the game and I will say it's been fairly enjoyable. My only gripe is the RNG being too strong. I love that you can lose a character for good. I love that the game is difficult and if you don't bring the right group with proper gearing and talents you will suffer. I love the cohesive nature of the group vs the AI. And if the developers had tuned the game to that, this would be one of the better games I've ever played. My only gripe is the RNG being too strong. RNG can and will destroy the best possible groups/setup regardless. I don't mind RNG making things harder, but I've lost enough well equipped and prepared heroes to RNG for this to be OK. Similarly, I've had other dungeon runs that should be hard be a cake walk. In my opinion this game could really be great. It could make the top game lists that people seem to enjoy making. It could be totally addicting. There is so much "could be" in this game. But it all gets lost to RNG, for good or bad of your hero group. I would prefer each run, each boss fight to be based on skill and preparation rather than being determined on the luck of the dice. I hope the Devs take the many reviews to heart and try to turn the "could be" into "is." That said, would I recommend this game? I'm not sure. I suppose it comes down to your definition of enjoyment. I have put enough hours in to make a worthwhile purchase to me. But this won't be a game I come back to again or spend marathon sessions playing simply because all the hours spent can be wiped out due to bad luck. If you don't mind luck being an over-riding factor in your games, this is a must buy. I keep checking back to see if they patch this game to make a fully enjoyable and immersive experience. I hope they do, but for now be prepared for a roller-coaster ride simply because the dice rolled in your favor or against you.
