Darkest Dungeon Review

Darkest Dungeon is one of the games of the year. A densely gripping tour de force that provides endless hours of gameplay despite the seemingly limited scope presented in its immediacy. Simultaneously adhering strictly to the rules associated with in its genre while providing a completely individualistic experience, this turn-based RPG might be one for the ages.

Red Hook Studios, made up of a mismatch of veteran game creators, set out to create a game that, if nothing, completely lives up to its name. Darkest Dungeon is not just a catchy title that is designed to capture one’s eye as they browse the PSN or Steam store. No, it is safe to say that this is about as honest of a title as they came. If the phrase “Darkest Dungeon” does not fill you with intrigue and a desire to see what it’s all about, then I suggest looking elsewhere.

Overall, Darkest Dungeon offers a robust and efficient experience that is not afraid to let the player truly go through the trials and errors that would come with such a mission. Just don’t get too attached to any of your awesome warriors.

Good:

• Easy to pick up but hard to master
• Visuals, soundtrack and story all perfectly compliment each other
• Character design

Bad:

• RNG system can be a bit frustrating

Score: 9/10
