Darkest Dungeon

What is Darkest Dungeon?

Darkest Dungeon is a challenging gothic turn-based RPG that delves into the psychological stresses of adventuring. Players must recruit, train, and lead a team of flawed heroes through twisted forests, forgotten warrens, ruined crypts, and beyond, battling not only unimaginable foes but also stress, famine, disease, and the ever-encroaching darkness. The game features an innovative strategic turn-based combat system that pits players against a host of diabolical monsters, while the Affliction System introduces gameplay-meaningful quirks such as paranoia, masochism, fear, and irrationality. The striking hand-drawn gothic crowquill art style complements the game's immersive narrative, which celebrates both the successes and failures of the player's adventuring party. With 14 (and counting!) playable hero classes, including the Plague Doctor, Hellion, and Leper, Darkest Dungeon offers a classic CRPG and roguelike experience complete with meaningful permadeath, procedural dungeons, and incredible replayability. Players must carefully manage their party's well-being, camping to heal wounds or delivering inspiring speeches, and resting their weary, shell-shocked
