To win a game of Darkest Dungeon, you have to beat four special high-level quests (which are about the only fixed parts of the game). You have to build up a large number of heroes and then rotate them into and out of your active party as their health and your quest objectives dictate. That means Darkest Dungeon isn't one of those games where you just pick your four favorite heroes and have them do everything. And if they pick up a negative quirk or a disease you don't like, then they might have to sit out for multiple weeks while those are removed as well. For example, to defeat the bird boss, you have to kill it within four rounds of combat, which means you have to focus way more on offense than defense.īecause heroes take a lot of stress during quests - just exploring causes stress, and enemies can deal stress damage as well - they frequently have to rest for a week after completing a quest. Boss fights tend to be difficult, and they often require hero parties that are tuned for the task. Each of the game's four regions has two bosses that come in three difficulties (for 24 boss fights total), and there are also four random-ish bosses who can appear during regular quests, or who can show up during special hamlet events, like a giant bird who steals some of your trinkets, and you have to defeat it to get your stuff back. You just have to recruit and build up other heroes to replace them, which costs time and money but nothing else.Īlong with regular quests, there are also special boss quests where you're required to defeat a very powerful creature. Luckily, if your heroes die, then it's annoying but it doesn't end the game (which is why I wouldn't characterize Darkest Dungeon as a roguelike). And if your entire party wipes, then you lose everything.
If a hero dies but you win the battle, then you get their trinkets back, but if you have to flee (which causes a lot of stress), then you lose the items. When your heroes lose all of their health, they move to "death's door," and any subsequent damage (including bleed or poison effects) can kill them, which permanently removes them from the game.
Of course, not all battles go well, and since the game auto-saves after everything, you can't simply load and try again.
