Over seven years have gone by since the original Darkest Dungeon arrived, and if you're itching for more of that stylish, turn-based roguelike action, you'll be happy to hear that Red Hook Studios have now returned with a fancy new sequel! While the two games are very similar in spirit, and especially when it comes to the punishing difficulty that will see many of your favorite characters unceremoniously kick the bucket, Darkest Dungeon 2 is by no means a simple copy. There will be set areas, but the route will shift with each new voyage.: Darkest Dungeon 2's first post-launch update has added new enemies and full Steam Deck support. You will die and start over many times over, but each time you set forth your adventure will be unique, building on what came before. The game also adopts a roguelike gameplay loop, with each journey including procedurally generated areas and a mixture of temporary and permanent progress. Find an inn and have characters eat chocolate and drink wine together over some poetry, for instance, and two heroes about to carve each others’ eyes out with spoons might find peace and harmony again. Of course, you can ease tensions as well. Will your party work together or tear each other apart? Most likely a little bit of both. What could go wrong?Īfter all, being stuck in a stagecoach mile after weary mile tests even the most patient among us. Jealousy, impatience and stress combined with Lovecraftian fantasy horror. And you can game the system, too, nudging characters into various situations to see what will happen. “The more stressed they are, the crummier they are to each other,” says Bourassa.
