Pain

Boredom

An ok game that is way overrated

Rage, pain and Despair

...

" this game is too hard huuuuuuur"

A game thats incredible and has the best preservation for the first 25 hours, they you realize how bad the grind is

some chances to use risk analysis, there's a reason why the phrase 'overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer' is such a meme with the fanbase. also the Plague Doc is the second best support behind the Occultist

What should i build first?

By the replies seem par for the course of what expect

How's the Lovecraftian angle of it? I'm a sucker for Eldrich horrors from beyond

>0h+ im not sure what im doing
>2h+ oh im having fun learning these mechanics
>10h+ still fun exploring new stuff
>20h+ THIS GAME IS SO BORING GRIND AND 90% OF THE GAME PLAYS BY ITSELF MAN I FUCKING HATE THIS WALKING AND WATCHING THESE ANIMATIONS TOO

The narration is godlike. I'm not sure how it compares to other lovecraftian works but its fairly deep in it

Laffed

An ok game that could be a lot better. is spot on.

>blood-splatters on everywhere except the exposed part of her leg
>And her leg is cleaner than Mr.Clean

Seeing all the complaints in this thread begs the question, how would you improve this game?

Game would have been infinitely better if it was isometric and involved actual strategy and tactics.

When you get to the darkest dungeon missions youre in for a treat, mate.

She just got thrown out of the Brothel for her Deviant Taste.

Nah.

Reminder that Lepers are the worst class in the game and that you shouldn't use them except to purposefully challenge yourself.

Brainlet.

Enjoy your mindnumbing RNG.

I like them. I like the Hew ability. It is good for killing a weakened front line while also damaging the other front line.

A casual mobile grinder game that tries to disguise itself as some hardcore roguelike

Lepers are ok for beginner dungeons where he can 1 hit kill most things, unless you have Hellions, in which case don't bother, ever.

>Muh RNG
>Muh RNG

honestly, if you can't go through 95% of encounters with ease, it's not RNG, you're just retarded. The game is about playing the numbers and knowing how to stack the odds in your favor.

>muh isometric cRPG
>muh min/maxing
>muh powergaming
What a casual.

Pick a god and pray your current party doesnt get thrown to the grinder

And?

It's s till a low skill, shallow, repetitive RNG shitfest.

i love this

>repetitive
That's the only thing you said that's correct.

>resources you buy before the mission don't carry over onto the next one
>if you wind up discarding an item by accident, you are unable to pick it up in the dungeon

Wew lads, glad I pirated this, dropped harder than a hot potato

That's nice.

RNG bullshit. Sure you can prepare for a dungeon, but that won't stop enemies from landing criticals, or skipping your turns sometimes one, two, or even three times.

>honestly, if you can't go through 95% of encounters with ease, it's not RNG, you're just retarded.

That;s the main problem with the game, it's easy once you figure out which comps don't suck but those 5% of runs that go bad will always be because the RNG decided to fuck you this week instead of some tactical failure

(because the game doesn't require any tactics once you press embark)

>get crit
>FUCKING RNG THIS NEVER HAPPENS IN OTHER GAMES WITH STATS
>Masochistic guy refuses healing for obvious reason
>REEEEEEEEEEEE

It is a fun game with really good atmosphere.
It has its flaws but you'll enjoy it, I find myself coming back to it every other month.

>all these faggots whining about RNG
Stop being little bitches

...

Hi, user. How are you doing today? Would you like to hang out maybe?

Audrey a best.

>It is a fun game with really good atmosphere.

No, it's a meme overhyped by normies and trash like you, due to le ebin dark horror and muh narrator shit

The very fact that this game gets any appreciation whatsoever shows how fall has both the developer and consumer base fallen.

Naturally.

Y-You too

a fun game that requires loads of grinding to finish
the late game stuff requires a team of elite fighters and if any of them die then you need replacements, which takes a lot of time to train

they actually considered a top-down rpg when they were concepting, but they discarded it because they felt it diminished the sense of dread

youtube.com/watch?v=0IUaGQhlPwo

Well shit, all this time i thought i was having fun, instead i was just memeing.

>Sup Forums hates DD b/c of RNG
>Sup Forums likes XCOM

Darkest (Space) Station when?

>but they discarded it because they felt it diminished the sense of dread

TN: "diminished the sense of dread" means "would take effort"

NuXCom sufferes a lot of the same problems as DD but it has at least some amount of depth an variety

>HEALER!!!!
>COME ON HEALER!!!

Well

The Good
>God tier art direction, narration, and music. Everything fits perfectly and nothing is out of place.
>Some decent horror elements
>Fun characters to build a party with.
>A lot of gameplay.

The Bad
>The story's ending is literally saying "YOU DIDNT WIN, YOU DIDNT WIN". You'll either love it or hate it.
>The learning curve is harsh. The game will feel like absolute random bullshit just trying to fuck you repeatedly. Sometimes you'll feel like everything is there just to kill you rather than provide a challenge. Just like any other tactical rpg, its about stacking all the numbers in your favor- so looking up a guide might make the experience feel better. I know I was frustrated when an enemy party one round my highwayman from full earth to dead in two shots, without me getting a chance to heal it. It felt like the game shitting on me because it could.
>The game is repetitive. I played 15 hours and by the end of that I felt like I had seen everything the game had on offer. The dungeon crawling never gains new mechanics and the characters dont have high levels because they are relatively expendable. The bosses are kinda shit, because usually the best tactic is to ignore their mechanic and burn them down with an assload of dps.
>The game is extremely grindy. Its about repeating dungeon crawls. If that isnt your favorite aspect of the game, you will get bored of it pretty quick.

Prepare to be using the wiki a lot.

If you got the DLC, the Flagellant is cheating. Literally everything about him is overpowered.

Are you retarded?

>cheating
>in singleplayer

A slow and insidious death.

Hello user.

How's your day been? Good I hope.

hes so fucking good
I love having a tank/healer/dps all in one

Another western game where the DLC breaks more things than it makes.

Your waifu a shit
SHIT

At least it's new content and not hot springs bullshit.

>implying my waifu doesn't kill this fucker before he even gets to spout his horseshit

A SHIT

Fug.

How are people finding the Horror ailment? I sort of find the addition pointless and easier to deal with.

...

Getting fucked until you either quit and start whining about RNG or Git Gud.

Its great but can be very frustrtating at times.
Enemys crit your party so hard they all die from heartattacks. Getting stunlocked and shuffled all over again. Meeting your first Shambler.

If you want a challenging game that won´t hold your hand or go easy on you then this is it.

...

RINGING EARS

BLURRED VISION

does this game has a story? a lore?

Acutally I just don´t like the walk right of this game, because it looks like an web game.

I like it. It adds more options and variety amongst the stress dealers in the game. It adds additional inventory management with the Laudanum item. It also makes Stress, which is without a doubt the most dangerous thing in the game, not quite as punishing in certain cases by dealing that damage over time instead of upfront every single time. On the flip side Horror can be stronger than a direst stress attack because you're expected to counter it with Laudanum,

Nice trinkets you got there.
What's that? You have no characters that can reposte?

Getting fucked over by RNG I can get over in a day or two, but after a few runs fucked it is much too tedious to get back into it.

if only laudanum had some uses besides curing horror

you never want to bring it because it so often gets tossed first

>Riposte
What a waste, the bird would just dodge those counterattacks anyway. Just turtle for 4 turns until he fucks off.

>toss my laudanum
>suddenly ghouls everywhere
Every time.

Lepers have the highest base damage in the game. Has a corpseclear/knock back. Thing is 90% of the time you will be spamming hew.

>low on gold better go on a farming run
>pick a low level, nothing should go wrong it'll be easy money
>depart

It gets good.

>Highest base damage in the game
>can't aim at any important targets with it

the way the game works, you want to insta-kill 3/4 then delay on 1/2 with stuns and recovery, leper can't kill 3/4 and can't stun 1/2, leper is just total garbo, doesn't have a single niche that isn't better filled by another class

>fighting the siren
>she charms my crusader
>he just spams inspiring cry
nice try bitch lmoa

Half the game is microhell as you desperately try not to over level your stars while you farm up.

>mfw I wanted to try blackguards and then I completely forgot it existed. Is it any good?

>Oh man I want to play some Darkest Dungeon
>Town Infestation: High
>Half my heroes are infected with the Crimson Curse

Maybe some other time

oh yeah not to mention everything that inflicts horror inflicts it to all 4 party members, so there's never really a case where it's absolutely necessary like the uca crusher

any modders here? how hard would it be to mod in some laudanum curio interactions?

Leper/PD. Stunning gas the 3/4, tear and share the 1/2. You could even run a grab to split the 1/2 front with a 3/4. Come on user, think with your head. Leper has way higher base damage than anyone else and is durable with only 10 base acc loss.

Laudanum has none? Should really patch that, along with a leper buff. Pretty funny that they patch anything remotely effective asap but stuff like this is apparently not important.

at least I didn't have to wait too long

Crimson Curse can actually be beneficial, the buff that bloodlust characters get is really good

wow! and the 4 turns it takes you to clear 1/2 through the 60% protection, and corpses, you're getting shit on by the actual threatening enemies. You should try stepping outside of the level 1 dungeons if you think leper is good.

>doesn't have a single niche that isn't better filled by another class
What about massive base damage? He's godlike against the stone guardian.

I do sort of blame the game for having rank 1 and 2 enemies massive pushovers 90% of the time, with ranks 3 and 4 being way more important.

Also fuck you.

This.

PD - OCC - HM/BH/ABO - HELLION is literally best party

ARB - OCC - HM - BH for dat max damage and dem crits

Prepare to be purged filth

>delay on 1/2 with stuns and recovery,
Coward.

>Sup Forums is one person

>What about massive base damage?
That's a stat. Not a niche. He won't be fulfilling a role better than another.

I'd still rather have a helion for garden guardian and camp buff the shit out of her

I really like the Leper but this nigger is right

>the way the game works, you want to insta-kill 3/4 then delay on 1/2 with stuns and recovery, leper can't kill 3/4 and can't stun 1/2, leper is just total garbo, doesn't have a single niche that isn't better filled by another class

That's how it works for 90% of the game

OOOOOOOH BOY GET READY FOR A BAD TIDE!!!

Many years ago your Ancestor was a hard partying, hard drinking socialite. He hosted some of the most insane and crazy parties that drew the rich and famous for miles around. At first, everything was great. Then things became dull and uninteresting...

So they decided to liven things up a bit, and brought in new... entertainment. Of what specifics I don't know, but the cages and the skeletons do not paint a happy picture. Continuing the descent into unbridled debauchery the parties got strange. Open orgies, violence, and worse were exalted in, with the finest of foods and wines exported from around the globe in such heaps that it rotted faster than it could be eaten (which didn't stop some people from eating the literal compost heaps anyway). Until one day, a strange, and unsettling woman came to court...

Turns out she was a vampire, and after a scuffle your ancestor defeated her, and came to a great idea. If she was gonna drink my blood, why not bleed her like a stuck pig, and then WE can drink her blood instead?

I'll give you a moment to imagine how bad that turns out.

So your ancestor sealed away the flesh eating abominations he had just created inside the courtyard. The he turned to other things. He began to delve into forbidden and ancient magics, but soon found he could only go so far with self study. So he hired long secret masters of the necrotic arts to his estate, and spent many a night learning from them.

Then, once he had learned all he could, he murdered them as they slept.
