It borrows gladly and without shame from H.P. It doesn't stop with this blending though, but instead attempts to transcend what's come before by mixing style in with substance. That is the power of Darkest Dungeon, and one of the many reasons why we, like so many others, were excited to see it released just yesterday.ĭarkest Dungeon is a game that takes the classic old dungeon crawl and suffuses it with the lethality that Rogue-likes are known for. You understand that by playing this game, bad things are going to happen, and that despite all of your best efforts and carefully laid plans, you might lose, and there's no save file for you to retrieve.īut yet, you keep playing, even as the odds slowly stack against your string of good luck, You play on, even after two minutes of gameplay can undo two hours of hard earned accomplishment. You know, like the characters you control do, that bad things await as you set off on adventure after adventure, digging deeper into catacombs and darkened ruins. With this, Darkest Dungeon opens its story, with you hurdling down the old winding road towards your family member's grave.
