Darkest Dungeon is a challenging gothic RPG about the stresses of dungeon crawling. You will lead a band of Heroes on a perilous side-scrolling descent, dealing with a prodigious number of threats to their bodily health, and worse, a relentless assault on their mental fortitude! Five hundred feet below the earth you will not only fight unimaginable Foes, but famine, Disease, and the Stress of the ever-encroaching Dark. Darkest Dungeon focuses on the humanity and psychological vulnerability of the heroes and asks: What emotional toll does a life of adventure take?

Darkest Dungeon is not a game where every hero wins the day with shiny armor and a smile. It is a game about hard trade-offs, nearly certain demise, and heroic acts.

At all times, you must juggle the need to do damage with the importance of protecting the health and minds of your party members.
