Fun! Exploration is done in a side-scrolling manner, where the player controls a party of up to 4 characters. Each hallway has randomly generated loot, traps, enemies, and every now and again your old fashion eldritch horror. The game starts out with a quick tutorial that introduces you to the general mechanics of the game dungeons are set up as a collection of procedurally generated rooms, each room being connected by hallways that lead to the next room. Of course, Darkest Dungeon has a reputation of being brutally difficult, which is well earned, so this is easier said than done.

You’re tasked with exploring the surrounding lands and mansion, on a quest to clear the land of evil and face the perils of the deepest, Darkest, dankest Dungeon of them all! Darkest Dungeon starts out with a letter, written by “the Ancestor”, that gives you the general premise of the game you inherited a mansion that was seemingly built on a pit to hell. Ahhh Darkest Dungeon, that wonderful combination of rougelike dungeon crawling exploration, turn based combat, brutal RNG, and carefully planned strategy, all tied together by a gritty, Lovecraftian styled world and an even grittier narrator voiced by Wayne June.
