Darkest Dungeon, or Dankest Dungeon as alot of my friends like to call it. Is a fantastic dungeon side scroller where you must navigate the vairying difficulty of dungeons in order to vanquish the evil that was unleashed upon the Estate. It is an engaging game that can at times be very difficult and deadly if RNJesus is not on your side. After watching this game on twitch I bought it on steam and was engulfed in a 10 hour session of gaming to defeat the darkest dungeon (Cannot wait until further releases)

Having played the game through to 100% completion I can say that this game doesnt get old and with the guides and tips here you will be on your way to the Darkest Dungeon in no time. 

Not only is this game challenging it is also quite humorous, the names of the Quirks you obtain in relation to their buff/debuff. The commentator although i play without sound mostly, can be very funny talking about a great kill long after you triple CRIT killed a pack

of monsters. 

 

Here’s how developer Red Hook Studios describes the game:

 

"Darkest Dungeon is a gothic roguelike RPG dungeon crawler about the psychological stresses of adventuring. You will lead a band of four heroes on a perilous side-scrolling descent, dealing with a prodigious number of threats to their bodily health, and worse, a relentless assault on their mental fortitude! Five hundred feet below the earth you will not only fight unimaginable foes, but famine, disease, and the stress of the ever-encroaching dark. Darkest Dungeon focuses on the humanity and psychological vulnerability of the heroes and asks: What emotional toll does a life of adventure take?"

 

I really couldnt put it better myself as a lover of the game!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FAQ:

 

Why Early Access?

“Darkest Dungeon already has a ton of content (10 hero classes, 3 dungeon environments, dozens of monsters, 130+ items, and more ) and we want to give fans a chance to play the game now! This in turn gives us a chance to improve the game based upon player feedback and otherwise involve the community in development!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to be in Early Access for approximately six months, which time we will use to add more dungeons, more character classes, and many new features. Our intent is to release the full version of the game sometime in the 2nd half of 2015.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“For the full release, we are planning to add more dungeon environments (one of which is the Darkest Dungeon), more character classes, story mode completion, additional monsters, items, quirks, narration, and dialogue. We also have reserved some time to add other new features and make changes based upon player feedback!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current Early Access build is playable with 3 complete dungeon environments (Ruins, Weald, and Warrens), 10 character classes, 9 town building types, 5+ quest types, 30+ monsters, 130+ items, and more than 30 interactive dungeon objects. There is currently no end to the Campaign Mode in Early Access, so players can keep raising heroes and embarking on quests indefinitely. The full version of the game will have an end to the story.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Final pricing for the game has not been determined, but the initial price will not be below Early Access list price.”
