| Darkest Dungeon 2 is gorgeous and has fantastic music, but there are so many other similar games that have done what this game does better in the intervening years.
Iratus does the Darkest Dungeon 4v4 combat with better character growth and insanity mechanics. Star Renegades has intricate blobber combat without any RNG bullshit. Wildermyth has much, much deeper teammate relationship mechanics, complete with procedural personalities for your dudes. Slay the Spire (and all its copycats) is much more satisfying then rolling a virtual die and hoping the RNG doesn't fuck you. Even if you were so specific that you asked, "recommend me a game where you're traveling through a misty miasma of madness having tactical turn-based battles against deformed monstrosities, and taking frequent side missions that expand the history of characters to reward you with expanded game mechanics," I'd still recommend Tainted Grail: Conquest over Darkest Dungeon 2. Also the horse wagon handles like shit. |

Did Darkest Dungeon 2 ever end up being good? by 06/08/2024, 3:23pm PDT  I... actually like it better than the first? by 06/15/2024, 10:24am PDT ...but better than the first is still way behind modern roguelites.
