Darkest Dungeon is now available for free on the Epic Games Store as the Christmas Day offering in their 15-day game-a-day giveaway spree to celebrate the holidays. This is yours to keep as long as you grab it before 11:00 am EST tomorrow, when the next freebie takes its place. The 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.

Can you stem the tide of eldritch horrors erupting across your family’s ancestral estate?

I found this game to be just too brutal and depressing as well as too RNG.

Same. I played it until the point where it was time to go into the final dungeon and then I just stopped. I didn't want to lose all my characters and gear I'd worked so hard to obtain. In my game world, the heroes surrounded the darkest dungeon and prevented it from spreading, boarded it up and put up signs warning people not to go in.

It's funny, I did the exact same thing: got to the end dungeon and never played it. For me it was "Okay, I need to be fully rested and alert when I go into this last dungeon as to not get slaughtered." And I never got to that state.

All that said, I loved this game: the mechanics, the art style, the character quips, the enemy designs. It's all really good stuff. Yes it's dark, and yes you have to be careful or lose characters, but once you've upgraded the characters and town a bit, the deaths fall off and you can focus on a core group.

Highly worth your time, especially as you got it free.

I'm a smoldering volcano of virility. At least, that's what I tell myself.
