Darkest Dungeon®
Darkest Dungeon is a challenging gothic roguelike turn-based RPG about the psychological stresses of adventuring. Recruit, train, and lead a team of flawed heroes against unimaginable horrors, stress, disease, and the ever-encroaching dark. Can you keep your heroes together when all hope is lost?
Darkest Dungeon centers on psychological horror and survival under dread. The Affliction/Stress system, fear, paranoia, and permadeath shape core gameplay and decisions, with eldritch horrors as a recurring threat. Removing horror would fundamentally change the game's identity, even though combat and RPG mechanics are important.
Best for players looking for a scary, high-tension, atmosphere-heavy and combat-heavy horror experience.
