Everything here is a little weird, and it'd be easy to pass it off as yet another game inspired by Lovecraftian horror, but Darkest Dungeon's gameplay makes it so much more.ĭarkest Dungeon sits in the roguelike genre-a game type often associated with randomly arranged rooms, permanent death, and the fear of what mysterious challenges lie ahead.

Knowing that his friends broke down and died because of his monstrosity, the werewolf heads back into town, distraught, to self-flagellate and exchange his grief for blood. She fights back wave after wave of evil abominations far longer than she should. Our cleric, pushed to the brink, finds resolve in faith. He compulsively opens suspicious chests and rifles through dead bodies. The werewolf's transformations startle and stress the psyche of the party.
