It’s a game of meaningful choices: Do you retreat early to live to fight another day or push your luck to find more riches below? The game even has a graveyard for your fallen adventurers, as if to show you your mistakes and failings. Once an adventurer has succumbed to their wounds or even slipped away from sanity, there is little you can do but move forward. The kicker here being that all your choices are permanent. You manage expeditions of sell-swords and mercenaries in the attempt to restore The Hamlet, a small village which serves as your base of operations, as well as finding riches in ruins and caverns. You start by taking over for your unfortunate ancestor who was driven into madness when he tried to search for the secret hidden under the family manor. If you haven’t delved into it, it’s a hard game, but once you’ve gone through a few expeditions, it gets easier.įor the uninitiated, Darkest Dungeon is a game by Red Hook Studios that focuses on you leading a party of adventurers to investigate the growing evil within the land. But I knew that sooner or later, I had to face one of my worst gaming fears, losing a party of adventurers. It’s been years since I last played Darkest Dungeon and while I’ve missed its lovingly crafted world, I didn’t have the experience or skill back when I first gave it a go. Sometimes there is alcohol involved in the hangover we’re nursing, but most other times there’s just too much gaming.
