Once they hit 100 stress points, they’ll have to face their resolve, which results in random negative (or, more rarely, positive) behaviors, like becoming irrational or hopeless. Heroes get progressively stressed depending on the outcomes of the adventure. On top of that, what makes the game even more challenging and unique, is the addition of its affliction system.įacing maddening horrors comes with a toll. In addition to skills that apply ailment statuses (like bleed and blight), some skills can stun, or even move the positioning of characters. This way, Darkest Dungeon adds much depth to what you’d expect from turn-based combat. The very same rules apply to your enemies. Heroes with healing or buffing/debuffing skills, on the other hand, act from afar. Classes with heavy-hitter or tank characteristics must take the front row, as their skill set is mostly composed of melee attacks. The importance to have a varied group comes from the fact that Darkest Dungeon’s combat takes form as a turn-based RPG in which positioning is a very important concern.

In order to embark on expeditions to fight these threats, you’ll have to recruit and set up a roster of intrepid adventurers.

I must say, however: Darkest Dungeon isn’t your ordinary RPG!įrom the shadowy 2D art style to the turn-based battle mechanics, every aspect of Darkest Dungeon is designed with the intent of displaying just how harsh and traumatic a campaign against gruesome creatures can truly be. In these ordinary RPGs, the world is there for you to conquer. Is the whole world in danger? Don’t worry! Your group of adventurers are more than capable to handle this kind of situation. Does a terrible creature haunt an entire village? Easy peasy! You can hunt the beast alone and bring it down with your bare hands. Most RPG games are built as a power fantasy for the player to experience. Let me share with you the terrible wonders I have come to know…
