Hi everyone,
Just wanted to make sure everyone here knew about Darkest Dungeon. It's a rogue-like turn-based dungeon crawler, clearly inspired by Diablo, and more than that, by the *original* Diablo. It's slow and atmospheric, with an emphasis on strategy, position, and the risks of digging just a little deeper for better rewards. Light and darkness mechanics play a major role, as does sanity and mental breakdown. The art style is a comic book Gothic, evoking a lot of the feel of Tristram.
I haven't played terribly much of it so far, but what I have seen has been very satisfying. But just on first impressions, I'd say this is an excellent fix for anyone looking to satisfy an old school Diablo craving. Anyone with more experience with it care to chime in?
