Even with all the options un-tagged the game is never transformed into Easy Mode, so don't be afraid to experiment to find a set that works for you.įrom the Hamlet you'll go into the setup portion of your journey, the outfitting of your party, where you must spend your gold to equip them with food, torches, bandages, and other sundries that you think you might need. Note: Darkest Dungeon has a bunch of optional settings that you can enable to make the game easier/harder as you like.
Your first foray into the Darkest Dungeon will likely be a short one, and one that not all those heroes will come back from unless you play it safe and retreat if things go bad. Not all traits are good either, some are downright dangerous and can be the line between victory and defeat. You'll have a roster of 4 heroes to play with, each with their own strengths, weaknesses, vices, virtues and various random traits. You'll have a ruin of a place, slick with crumbled down hand-drawn architecture that drips a gorgeous art style in every single screen. Here you'll recruit your heroes from a roster in the Stage Coach, which initially starts out pretty thin with only a few members and low-rank heroes to choose from. You begin your journey in a Hamlet that you can eventually restore and build-up to accommodate new buildings and new features to allow you to survive that much longer. Sure, you get characters who become stressed out and have more mental strain because they failed to do the thing they set out to do, but they're ALIVE and that's the most important thing.ĭarkest Dungeon is a beautifully atmospheric side-on animated hack and slash, dungeon crawler that lets you assemble a party of four stalwart heroes. During my time spent with it, running away from a dungeon that's going bad, where a total party kill is a definite possibility became the normal response. Once you understand that there's no shame in retreat, that failure isn't a bad thing in Darkest Dungeon, you can get ahead in the game.
#DARKEST DUNGEON REVIEW CRACK#
Not here, your torch burns low, your character's minds crack and fray as the unimaginable horrors slither out before them and your most stalwart heroes have their mettle and sanity tested in ways that can break them, or give them such resolve as to allow you to conquer a perilous mission, turning the jaws of death aside at the last moment. To play Darkest Dungeon properly you must conquer the one thing that many games provide for you, a feeling of safety, of a blanket ready to wrap you in its warm embrace as you thunder nigh-on unstoppable from one encounter to the next. Yet it is a fair game, a game that can reward your bravery just as much as it can brutally punish your foolishness. It's Rogue-like in design, where failure can lead to death and madness is just around the corner with every single step you take.
Darkest Dungeon is a game about failure informing the next line of heroes' successes, victory gained inch by inch and knowing when to push on, and when to run the hell away screaming incoherently and gibbering as madness grasps your character's mind and forces a sonorous soul-bending scream from the depths of their lungs.ĭarkest Dungeon is a game that oozes atmosphere, from the moment the title animation rolls and the sound of the beautiful narration provided by Wayne June as the game's Narrator slithers forth to explain a tale of riches to rags, and the eventual ruin of your family estate as it has been wrapped in the arms of dark Lovecraftian-style entities that permeate the very stone itself.
#DARKEST DUNGEON REVIEW PS4#
How it landed on the PS4 a while ago, and now finally, thanks to dedicated time and effort spent porting it to the Xbox One, the Xbox crew can enjoy one of the best turn-based dungeon crawlers to appear on any platform for a very long time.īut be warned, if you think you're going to play this game and not lose a single character - think again.
I've been constantly impressed with Darkest Dungeon, how it's grown and sprawled beyond the original concept of the game.
