About Darkest Dungeon®

✦ AI summary

  • Narration system to celebrate your successes...and failures

What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Players praise the game's excellent design and challenging difficulty that rewards engagement, with many appreciating how it respects its genre conventions. However, the game is notably punishing and demanding, which some find frustrating or emotionally taxing rather than enjoyable. Despite the steep difficulty curve, players show strong long-term engagement, suggesting the core gameplay loop is compelling enough to keep dedicated fans returning.

Alright now listen, everyone thinks the horrors here are all about the eldritch or the unholy or all the rest of that. No. That's not horror. The REAL horror here is human greed, because bad stats be damned that antiquarian is going in my party and the team is GOING TO LIKE IT! Now take another hit of those vapours and get out there people, these antiques aren't going to sell themselves!!

I enjoy Darkest dungeon, i like the challenge, the combat, many aspects of the game. However the late game grind is horrible. Playing on Radient or Darkest the late game is terrible, "making the most of a bad situiation" is not how i would describe this game more along the lines of "We are going to screw you over every single chance we get and your going to like it or quit" i understands its a rouge like so its meant to be challenging and have me you make new characters over and over again. However when you complete max out teh character in every way, remove all negative effects, use meta teams on the guide and have great luck you can still team wipe and get nothing. and for that reason i cannot recommend this game to anyone thats hear for anything other then to waste time 7/10 i enjoy it but the end game is horribly designed to the point of no worth or enjoyment
