Darkest Dungeon

That's a shitty party formation.

I don't think it's meant to be in-game, probably meant to capture a realistic scenario and not the retarded immersion killing stand still face to face and wait turns, also there's eight enemies in one room.

Depends on what you like.

It's a game about repetition and designed to screw you over at every turn.
The strongest elements are the narrator, visuals and style. Gameplay is mostly annoying with some euphoria moments.
It also leans heavily on the cosmic horror aspect, so if you like that you might enjoy this game more.

>Is this game fun?

If you like grinding, don't care that it's not actually a roguelike and want to fight every boss being reskinned 3 times, I guess.

If you're up for mobile phone - tier grindfest and le ebin dark gothic horror meme, it's a game for you.

I can tell there's certainly cosmic horror with Mad Arab from Lovrcraft down to the letter. But how bullshit really is the rng? Would I need a few mods to make the game not want me to tear my room apart after some fucking bullshit dice rolls? Haven't really touched an rng turn taking shitshow since Xcom 1.

RNG only becomes an issue at the highest level stuff and only when you come in unprepared. sure, sometimes you'll get hit by an unlucky crit, but you sometimes also get lucky crits so it's whatever

imo, it's a game meant to be enjoyed casually without investing a fuckton of hours in it. I'm not a fan of these type of games, but DD really got me

>>384867879
You should play on that new "light" or whatever mode they recently released that cuts the grinding and other shit down, if you get the game.

Your best bet is to pirate the gog version, test it, then buy it if you want to support the devs if you're still unsure.

bounty hunter is fine in rank 3. if you wanted to really brutalize the front ranks (like, the Cove) that would be fine.

>>384866991
Yes.

>>384868656
Mad Arab Abdul Alahazred, keeper of the forbidden Necrinomican, there's more to H.P Lovrcraft than what can be found in gook shit games anon.

It an amazing game, one that's lots of fun. But the RNG can and does ruin you if you aren't careful.

There are many ways to mitigate the RNG, from bringing the best parry composition, to having the proper supplies, to investing in your Dudes to make them tough enough to survive. There are a lot of ways to win.

There is also no failure state except on the hardest difficulty, so you lose when you say you lose. If it's too much, leave for a while and come back later, it's not an issue.

Nothing is impossible, if you know what you're doing.

I don't really get this complaint about RNG fucking you and this is from a guy that loses his shit whenever i lose a hero/soldier in X-Com or whatever

Yeah RNG will fuck you with a crit but then it saves you with fat crits and clutch dodges as well

One time i had Dismas go from 75% health to death's door from a single crit but then manage to dodge three attacks on him before he could be healed

Its fun to see

It's really fun, my opinion, when you start the game and play for a few hours but it streches for too long and becomes grindy and boring
