What's the deal with this? Is it really good or overrated

It's pretty good but it can get annoying and tiresome. I haven't played since they added town events, the merchant and the radient mode though.

First few times running through the different dungeons is alright, then it started to get on my nerves.
Especially when the mobs barely changes visually but get bloated stats.

It's great but there's an expansion comin soon so wait for that

It's good if you play the game the way it is meant to be played: as a Risk vs Reward & Practicality vs Sentimentality simulator. Your mercenaries are disposable, faceless soon-to-be-corpses. Accept it because that is the only way you will get over the hump; throw them into the dungeons, claw what loot you can, yank them out and dispose of them like the cruel taskmaster you are. The people that rage against this game are the ones that cannot, WILL NOT, accept that you will lose sometimes, and are meant to. You can't be 100% risk neutral with your party and planning until end game.

Of course they ruined it or at least made the hump much smaller with the way gold is thrown at you now.

Can get a bit grindy getting resources to upgrade your shit, but otherwise quite enjoyable, best played in longish bouts between something else.

This may be the problem, they tried to make game longer by reusing the same content over and over again. How about making it start from level 6 dungeons from the beginning? Would it work?

>>378636595
This is retarded because game encourages you to invest in your heroes a lot, like paying fortune for making some quirks permanent.

>Great atmosphere
>Great audio-visual design
>Pretty satisfying gameplay, although you have to actually learn what to do for it not to be an RNG bullshit
>Unfortunately quite grindy and repetitive(although there is a "less grind" mode)

No because you're required to have a certain standard of equipment and abilities before you can handle elites or you will get wrecked.

>>378636291
Is perfect example. Suddenly mid-game you start facing elites and get your shit pushed in. It's annoying especially after you think you've mastered the game. It's designed that way, to make you feel frustrated, and casual gamers who arent used to GAME OVER YOU LOSE TRY AGAIN, get pissed.

Not until endgame. That's the problem right there, you should not be investing in your guys except for recoverable trinkets until endgame. They're just going to die. Invest in stagecoach, throw them in, get loot, throw them away, recruit more. Don't relieve their stress or improve their gear, just toss them aside.

thx

>love Lovecraft and Poe
>love the Mike Mignolesque artstyle
>love challenging games

But just couldn't get into Darkest Dungeon. I've put like 10 hours in and it hasn't clicked with me.

>>378635494
Wtf? I'm going on vacation tomorrow and was looking at vita games to buy while I'm gone. I was thinking about MGS Peace Walker, Dragon Quest Builders, Spelunky, Risk of Rain, and Helldivers.

>>378637771
Is it even possible to beat harder dungeons without upgrading your shit?

>>378638003
Without upgrading at all? Most enemies will probably one-shot you.

>>378637993
lol

I considered Helldivers but i heard it's geared towards multiplayer and it's next to impossible to go far solo

Upgrade the stagecoach ASAP. You start getting lvl 3 characters with all skills and gear at lvl 3. Then you start throwing those into the higher dungeons like toilet paper while upgrading your real party with the spoils.

I'm gonna try this, thanks.

The early game is pretty good, amazing design and setting, and good soundtrack.
The late mid/ late game are an horrendous grind fest retardedly designed and the only way to have a tolerable pacing in the game is cheesing it with the most op setup in the patch.
Worth pirating

It's really more about feels than mechanics. The mechanics are very random and not very good, but the feels are good.

>overrated indie thrash

DING DING DING


good concept but horrible execution with tedious RNG infested gameplay

This game could have been good.
