A dark and twisting adventure filled with eldritch horrors, deadly traps and crtitical hits (I hate those the most). But the greatest horror is not physical damage (It still is very important) but within the minds of your party's adventurers. They can go insane under stress and have nasty quirks that can hinder progress, like your men stealing loot for themselves with kleptomanina (I'm looking at you Dismas); yet they can learn from the stress and perform better than before and have quirks that help the party on their mission. Perma death is prevealent and tears are shed. As the name suggests, the dungeon is quite dark and has an intriguing system for that, the Light Meter; Brighter light means a better chance to get the drop and enemies and scout ahead in the winding corridors and halls, while a dimmer or snuffed out light means more difficult encounters, more stress, and more accurate enemies, but greater loot and higher crit rate (This will save your ass so many times). With all told above, one question remains, do you have the gawl to enter the Darkest Dungeon?


P.S. Blights suck.
