Is this game worth getting? What is the current status of the game?
>>342635070
Yes.
>What is the current status of the game?
What do you mean, exactly? It's fully released at this point.
Playing that game'a like rolling a dice.
If you roll anything but a 6, the game pulls your entrails up through your mouth and then makes you bite down.
If you roll a 6, you get to play through a difficult rougelike.

I think what he means is about the more recent updates the game has. It's become way to RNG heavy compared to before.
No, just pirate it.
>>342635319
pretty much this, it isn't hard, it['s straight unfair
Someone post the webm of a guy who dies from a heart attack because someone stole his food
more or less sums up the idiocy of the sanity system at times
>>342638838
I thought it was because he freaked out because he thought his food was poisoned
>>342638838
The character had igh stress and the Paranoia affliction, refused food at camp because, due to his paranoia, thought the food was poisoned, and had a heart attack.
What's the issue?
Flawed and suffers from heavy overuse of re-using assets and bullshit RNG as a substitute for difficulty.
Despite that, it's still a nice competent game and if you're the sort of person that can tolerate grind then you might find yourself more at home with it than you thought. You may even find the RNG to your taste, if anything it ensures you get punished for your fuck ups more than in other games.
Many of its flaws have been resolved in recent patches and most annoying aspects can be altered/toned down with options, so most of its reviews are not up to date anymore if they're bashing it.
I personally love the game, but it's hard to recommend.

Pretty shit desu, senpai
There's far too much grinding.
I'm fine with the difficulty but the grinding required to rebuild and attempt another run isn't fun enough to keep my interest.
I'd rather play FTL, Spelunky or Risk of Rain if I fancy playing a roguelike.
An anon here made a mod to curb the grinding but I never got around to using it.
>>342641001
looks like a different dungeon run, with a different team, homie
>>342635070
Worse RNG than XCOM, so it depends on your tolerance of RNG bullshit.
Personally I'm fine with XCOM rng but Darkest Dungeon was just too much to the point where it became extremely unfun.
it's fun untill you actually try to complete it, lost 26 legends and didn't even clear first darkest dungeon, had my fill but fuck this game.
>>342641390
>Any of those games

Why do faggots like you keep slapping "roguelike" on anything with perma death and randomized elements
> you almost made it to the last room in this champion dungeon in decent condition!

>>342641662
To piss you off.
Because of that post i'm now going to start referring to Undertale as a roguelike.
>>342640642
If your that far in the game I'd just savescum mate. Not worth wasting your time just cause the game decided to crit you 5 times in a row while you miss.
>>342641639
>lost 26 legends and didn't even clear first darkest dungeon
Is it possible to be this bad? I mean, you got 26 characters to max level, surely you understand the mechanics and how to deal with bad situations by that point.
>>342641662
Because those are the essential features of a roguelike unless you think the game is LITERALLY a copy of Rogue
>>342640642
Should've backed up that save.
Fuck grinding in this game, the RNG is too brutal.
>>342641783
you can't savescum bruh, it saves after every move, it will just take you back to turn after your guys died.

>>342635070
The Ending is a really huge letdown but otherwise you're just going to get really frustrated with the RNG.
>>342641662
because of the perma death and randomnized elements.
>>342641840
It's called ROGUE LIKE because it's LIKE ROGUE, dipshit. It's not called a roguelike because it has 2 elements in common with Rogue. Might as well call games like The Culling a roguelike, because it has perma death and randomized elements in the game.
>>342641932
You have a save(profile) folder in the game files. Copy and paste that somewhere elsebefore you begin a tough run.If it goes bad take that backup you made and replace it with the new shit rng save the game has.You can savescum it's just tedious.
>>342641932
You have to manually backup your game's save file on your drive the last I checked. Would be nice if there was a mod that did it without that. I wouldn't even mind if it called me a pussy bitch each time I loaded the game.
>people are shit at the game and don't know how to manage their stress levels or their money
>THIS GAME IS UNFAIR RNG
it's like pottery
>>342641783
I just lost interest at that point. Needing specific team comps and very high speed on everyone just to even stand a chance of surviving the regular mobs in a champion level dungeon sapped the fun right out of the game
really fun if you enjoy being constantly fucked by circumstances out of your control
>>342642361
Get to the higher level dungeons and come crawling back you faggot.
Post favorite teams.
>>342642512
It's a shame really.The game has a nice base and fun elements but it's too punishing.I'd play it again if they make a final patch someday.
>>342642620

>>342642361
clearly didn't go to champion/darkest dungeon
>>342642235
>.It's not called a roguelike because it has 2 elements in common with Rogue
It is, actually, because those are the defining elements of the game that they share.
I mean, if you really wanted to get pedantic about it you'd say that, strictly speaking, a Roguelike has to be a dungeon crawler that has permadeath and randomized elements.
That wouldn't be right, however, because the term 'roguelike' doesn't foremost signify just a dungeon crawler that happens to have these two elements, it instead signifies those two elements that the dungeon crawler has.
Your conception is almost as ridiculous as saying we can't say that any other show besides Happy Days 'jumped the shark' because there isn't any other show that literally is about Fonz jumping over a shark in the water.

>>342642846
Roguelike always meant a turn-based dungeon crawler with perma death and random elements, and most often tile based. It wasn't until faggots like you started slapping the term on anything with one or two elements in common with a proper roguelike. You wouldn't call CoD a fucking RPG simply because you can level up and unlock new perks or whatever. You wouldn't call Street Fighter a hack and slash or beat 'em up game simply because they fight with hand-to-hand combat.
>Your conception is almost as ridiculous as saying we can't say that any other show besides Happy Days 'jumped the shark' because there isn't any other show that literally is about Fonz jumping over a shark in the water.
The only ridiculous thing here is your dumb fucking analogy. I shouldn't even have to explain why you're a retard.
It used to be a good game. Then they upped the RNG to ridiculous levels. Can't recommend it.
>>342644371
>Shuffled again
The Shambler nor its clapperclaws can shuffle.
>>342643157
Doesn't give two fucks about position, stun + massive dodge buff, blight, multiattack that hits awkward positions.
Team her up with other heroes that don't give a fuck about positions like Bounty Hunter and you're set.

It's perfectly fine if you are willing to deal with having to use what I consider cheesy strats like hiring suicide-teams for endless grindan.
If you don't like hiring suicide-teams for endless grindan, then you aren't going to make it far into veteran dungeons.
There are some mods to lower the grind, but in return leave the stagecoach the same, making it too easy now. Are there any mods that:
>reduce grinding required overall
>limit max hero roster to 12
>up prices of stagecoach upgrades
>cost gold to hire heroes
I just want a decent team of people who I can believe I trust, and mix and match classes together for different combinations, not have a 24-sized rosters of heroes I don't even remember hiring that I throw together for some cheap and easy apprentice runs.
>>342635070
You gotta love your RNG gambles, and I mean LOVE. I consider the game a solid 10/10 but I can see why some people wouldn't like it. I've managed to beat it twice. Pro-tip, Leper is bro-tier

>>342645431
beat the game twice? do you even play any other games? how many hundreds of hours do you have clocked?
>>342644631
My first time literally ever playing the game and I ran into the collector. I didn't know what the fuck was going on.
It's ALMOST LITERALLY a mobile game, except not actually on mobile. A shame, because it plays exactly like one, and then I would play the fuck out of it, but as a regular game I feel like it's just not worth the time.
Anyone got a good dungeon crawler for Android? One that's not just grinding and RNG, preferably?
Shit I need to get back on this game.

I'd fucking love to play this on my iPad while lying in bed.
But I also might be prone to throwing it across the room after a bout of Chapiom dungeon RNG.
A friend made me post his character
>>342646081
He's right though, the game's RNG isn't godawful like some people say but it can completely fuck you over and when it does you're in for a hefty grind.
>>342646370

FTL and RoR are rogueliTe at most.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYFU_RiefKk
Why should I bother locking in positive quirks or removing negative ones? Why should I bother upgrading armor when weapons help me deal damage? ITS SO EXPENSIVE
Why should I pay attention to which areas have only front line attacks or can hit all positions? Why should I consider which classes work together best and offset weaknesses? PLANNING IS HARD

Can someone post more please I love this
>>342642846
I'd prefer it if people called them roguelites or roguelikelikes.
Roguelikes are already an established genre with thousands of games that are legitimately "like rogue". If it wasn't for that, it'd probably be fine.

>>342635070
It has a great art style, great voice work, interesting concept and is overall a very cool dungeon crawler.
But holy fuck is it the biggest slog I've ever played. I've beaten the game, and having to build up multiple teams of max level guys over and over to beat the final level is such a fucking ballache, especially since how much everything costs.
RNG fucks you over more often then it helps you, and you'll spend more time grinding then actually accomplishing anything. I might consider trying it again with the less grind mod, but I just don't know if I can go through the complete bullshit that is the darkest dungeon level.
>>342647728
Man you're borderline masochistic or just don't have any other game
FTL is actual serious no washed up bullshit
I recommend strongly DUSKERS to you.
http://store.steampowered.com/app/254320/
>>342647728
The thing about DD is you can use your own game-breaking strategies to counter the bullshit. Just having a Plague Doctor spam Blinding Gas with +stun trinkets and speed quirks will get you through 90% of any situation. Throw in Houndmaster guards, Vestal heals and one flexible frontline fighter like a Hellion and its really hard to not dominate any possible scenario.
>>342648451
Exactly this, there are some optimal combos that can get you out of some time before impossible scenarios with no sweat, you just need to learn the game
The RNG is going to be there, but it's about making the most of an already bad situation
>>342648451
>>342648362
Meh, there's people who can get winstreaks on FTL that's proof there's strategy in it. I think that's the hallmark to whether a game has a ridiculous amount of RNG or not. If the best players can get decent winstreaks then it's not that bad.
Doesn't really apply to DD but it's not a roguelite/like.

He could, it would be tedious, but he could.
I agree the game is RNG heavy, and there are instance where it will absolutely fuck you over (eg. 4 spider instagibbing a full health character by focusing it down turn one), but more often than not, good decision making has more impact than RNG.
The game itself isn't exactly hard, because you can't "lose" (except for NG+). There are no fail state, everything is simply a setback until you eventual, assured victory.
That being said, game is super fun.
