game's DLC is also on sale until tomorrow, and you can pick up a copy of
The
Musketeer DLC for free. The track record of predictions in
this tweet
remains perfect, so it's likely tomorrow's freebie will be
My Time at Portia.
This description sheds some light on the 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 through twisted forests,
forgotten warrens, ruined crypts, and beyond. You'll battle not only
unimaginable foes, but stress, famine, disease, and the ever-encroaching dark.
Uncover strange mysteries, and pit the heroes against an array of fearsome
monsters with an innovative strategic turn-based combat system.
Features
- The Affliction System – battle not only monsters, but stress! Contend
with paranoia, masochism, fear, irrationality, and a host of
gameplay-meaningful quirks!
- Striking hand-drawn gothic crowquill art style
- Innovative turn-based combat pits you against a host of diabolical
monsters
- Narration system to celebrate your successes...and failures
- Rest your weary, shell-shocked characters in town at the Tavern or the
Abbey to keep their stress in check.
- Classic CRPG and roguelike features, including character permadeath,
procedural dungeons, and incredible replay
- Can you stem the tide of eldritch horrors erupting across your family’s
ancestral estate?
