Darkest Dungeon is a challenging gothic roguelike turn-based RPG that immerses players in the psychological stresses of adventuring. Set in a haunting landscape, you will recruit, train, and lead a team of flawed heroes through twisted forests, forgotten warrens, and dark crypts while reclaiming your ancestor's estate. Your journey will not only involve battling unimaginable foes but also managing the mental and physical toll of stress, famine, and disease.

With its innovative turn-based combat system, players face an array of diabolical monsters while unveiling strange mysteries. The game features an Affliction System, where heroes can suffer from various psychological conditions such as paranoia, masochism, and fear, significantly impacting gameplay. The striking hand-drawn gothic art style enhances the dark atmosphere, and a unique narration system highlights both your victories and failures.

Featuring over 16 playable hero classes, including Plague Doctor and Hellion, you can develop diverse strategies in your quest. Manage your heroes’ stress levels at the Tavern or Abbey, and prepare for permadeath, procedural dungeons, and exceptional replayability. Will you be able to stem the tide of eldritch horrors? Descend at your peril!
