What I will say is, combat feels so much more RNG than the original and a lot of damage feels very out of your control in this one. This isn't a bad thing as the best part about this way of doing things is that you get to play around with comps a lot and see what works and what doesn't. As opposed to the original where you would be playing a 50-60 hour long campaign with nearly 30 heroes, you'll be stuck with four for the entire run. The core gameplay loop lies in that each time you succeed or fail, you get candles to upgrade your characters and unlock items which are now permanently in the game, this is what makes the game very rogue-like. The game plays as follows: You select a confession (This is basically difficulty level) and then select four heroes with different skillsets to venture forth through different zones in order to get to the mountain where a boss lies in wait for you to defeat or die to. The gameplay has changed dramatically, this is both a good thing and a bad thing.

There is a lot to love about this game but there is also a lot to hate/dislike, perhaps I am just writing this in the heat of the moment but as the game stands and as for what happened to me personally, I cannot say I recommend it.

The gameplay After seven or eight years, the long awaited sequel to the critically acclaimed Darkest Dungeon has finally arrived and a lot has changed. After seven or eight years, the long awaited sequel to the critically acclaimed Darkest Dungeon has finally arrived and a lot has changed.
