The ruins are full of undead skeletons who are vulnerable to blight but invulnerable to bleeding.

Each dungeon is consistent with the kind of enemies you will be facing: There’s a highly armored pig with poison resistance then bleed it to death, an annoying witch stressing your heroes bring it to the front so she can’t use their strongest attacks.

This game highly rewards knowledge and using the right tool for each situation. The game makes an incredible emphasis on the positioning of your heroes some abilities are only available in specific rows so keeping the position of your heroes and messing up the enemies position it’s a key part of the gameplay. One bad dungeon expedition can set you back hours of gameplay towards the end of the game. I wouldn’t say it’s a roguelike, but it has permadeath once one of your heroes dies in combat is gone most likely forever, this makes the game incredibly punishing.

Darkest Dungeon is about making the most of a bad situation That’s the first part of the message that welcomes you into the game and I think it describes it perfectly, this game is hard sometimes even unfair but that’s why it so satisfying when you get to beat it.ĭarkest Dungeon is a unique fusion of Side-scroller/RPG.
