Darkest Dungeon II provides more sustainability through reworked hero skills and class combinations as well, but also comes with imbalances because of this. This Darkest Dungeon reworks previous mechanics to make them feel more powerful and effective. Where combos in the previous game felt like small buffs for other heroes, this title maximizes the way our heroes can work together to deliver devastating blows. New mechanics introduce more robust synergy than seen before while elevating roleplaying elements for additional character depth. Bringing upgraded visuals to its iconic style, Darkest Dungeon II is the most gorgeous the series has looked yet.
Still as punishing as ever, it’s no secret this roguelike dungeon crawler forces players to learn from their mistakes and relish in the learning that comes along with it. The most immediate difference seen in gameplay is that our heroes no longer walk through maps, but instead a stagecoach is controlled that works its way through different areas. With the first installment asking you to play as the lord of a manor and all its subsidiary outposts, this sequel asks you to leave the aristocracy behind for more academic pursuits. For the newer victims adventurers seeking to test their mettle: Darkest Dungeon asks us to assume the role of an occult researcher who contracts explorers to search for answers to the mysteries of the dark.
Serving as less “sequel” and more “refresh” of the 2015 original title, Darkest Dungeon II is a bold step in a different direction that offers plenty of similarity to its first installment while introducing refreshing new ideas. One thing was certain: we need to ready ourselves for the dangerous expedition ahead as we face the uncompromising retribution of the Darkest Dungeon II. Some were swapping stories, others were stewing in their resentment about our current predicament. The creaking of stagecoach wheels rumbled along the dimly lit road as we sat quietly contemplating our bold decisions to venture towards the eldritch unknown.
