$15 worth if youre a millennial
It's good
>>333223656
I'm not sure what this means
Would be good without stress mechanics
I like it
>>333222651
The RNG can feel like absolute bullshit a lot of the time, but it's still a really engaging game with a cool aesthetic
more RNG than csgo or cardstone
a feat i once thought impossible, but the absolute madmen did it.
got shilled pretty damn hard for a week or two
fun but very stressful game

>>333222651
I never heard of this game before until now but judging from the game title and picture, which I am assuming is from the game, Darkest Dungeon is a blatant Dark Souls rip off in every possible way conceivable.
>>333225559
It plays absolutely nothing like dark souls
>>333225559
It's a roguelike, it's similar to Dark Souls insofar as there are swords and monsters but that's it
>>333225559
it's nothing like dark souls except maybe slightly visually. it's more like an RNG skin.
>>333225559
yeah, just another boring grim and gritty meme souls clone

Here's another reply for (You)
it's fun at first, but ultimately shallow and unrewarding. there isn't very much content, so they drag it out by repeating the same bosses and levels over multiple difficulties, and the strategic options are so limited that they get boring quickly. there are also terrible design decisions liked forced level-ups which often force you to grind low level characters over and over again in order to get the proper party compositions at the right levels. it wouldn't be nearly as popular without its art style and overall aesthetic, which is quite good, but isn't enough to carry the game.

Extremely fucking repetitive. I was already getting tired of running exactly the same dungeons with exactly the same obstacles and exactly the same enemy encounters, the only thing I had to look forward to was boss encounters and I completely lost interest when I realized THEY LITERALLY RECYCLED THE SAME BOSSES 3 TIMES.
Whatever little content I still had to glimpse from this game was such a distant light at the end of the grind and monotony tunnel it just wasn't worth it to me anymore.

another shitty RNG game like FTL that doesn't give you enough tools to circumvent the RNG like Nethack or Nuclear Throne
>>333222651
Pretty fun game, I just wish I hadn't blown my load over it during early access so I could have had the experience of slowly learning over save after save of getting my shit pushed in with the full game so I could have had a triumphant climax of beating the game decisively instead of the slow boring finish of just not having anything more to work for besides seeing the numbers go up.

Pretty good RPG/Roguelite/Dungeon Crawler/XCOM like thing. Fun and interesting at the start, wears thing the more and more you play it. They start repeating bosses and the grind becomes almost unbearable if you're not into grinding.
Also Plague Doctor is the best______girl.
Neat artstyle ruined entirely by stupid amounts of RNG.
this recent trend of indie devs forgoing any sort of skill-based mechanics and replacing them with RNG is so fucking grating, I hope it goes away soonbut it won't, just look at how highly praised shit like this and the binding of isaac is

>FTL [...] doesn't give you enough tools to circumvent the RNG
Strongly disagree. FTL's main problem was that the rate of its unlocks allowed players to attribute their progress to the equipment they had access to instead of them learning the systems of the game, which leads to bad judgement and encourages developing ruts.

Unabashedly in love with its grind and RNG components.
Aesthetically, though, it's on fucking point.
