About

You will lead a band of four heroes on a perilous side-scrolling descent, dealing with a prodigious number of threats to their bodily health, and worse, a relentless assault on their mental fortitude! Five hundred feet below the earth you will not only fight unimaginable foes, but famine, disease, and the stress of the ever-encroaching dark. Darkest Dungeon focuses on the humanity and psychological vulnerability of the heroes and asks: What emotional toll does a life of adventure take?

    What I love about Darkest Dungeon is that it knows it’s difficult and it knows it’s going to challenge you. My biggest concern is that by the nature of what it sets out to be, it will put a lot of people off before they even play as it does require the player to put effort into it to understand all of the nuances and general aspects that simply isn’t there in most other games. It can be daunting but there are so many different parts to the game that it never gets boring.

    Darkest Dungeon is a punishing tactical strategy game with many layers to it. The complex unpredictable randomization of different deadly enemies and situations put my frail characters through hell. The excellent narrative and expressive animation give amplify the dark fantasy atmosphere.
