Outside of a PC, this has to be the best way to enjoy the game. Push them harder still and they’ll keel over from a heart attack, ending them permanently. If a hero becomes too stressed - as a result of a combat encounter, a lack of supplies, or the slowly encroaching darkness that boosts enemy attributes - their resolve is tested, potentially unearthing negative personality traits that can hinder further progress. Managing the mental state of heroes is key to emerging victorious, as is making sure you’ve brought enough food, torches and medical equipment to last a sortie into the ruins. Harder missions open up as you progress, gradually building towards challenging boss fights. Some only require you to scout a certain number of rooms within the dungeon, while others task you with clearing every encounter on a procedurally generated floor. Up to four recruits can be taken on a mission, each of which vary in length and objective. A visit to the hamlet affords players the opportunity to upgrade armour and abilities, recruit fresh meat, and soothe the troubled minds of their hired muscle with a healthy mix of piety, booze and debauchery. You’ll be doing this with the help of mercenaries - a mix of brigands, occultists and warriors all looking for a slice of the glory - that show up in the small, hub-like hamlet outside of the sprawling, titular structure. Your mission is to claim back your birth rite - a decrepit mansion and its grounds - from bandits and monstrous creatures that spilled forth from a mysterious portal following a misguided attempt to harness its power.
For the uninitiated, Darkest Dungeon is a side-scrolling, turn-based roguelike RPG where combat and exploration take both a physical and mental toll on your heroes.
