A few days ago, Darkest Dungeon was released on Steam Early Access. According to the Steam Webpage, it is "a challenging gothic roguelike turn-based RPG about the psychological stresses of adventuring", in which you have to train a party of adventurers a clear dungeons that get progressively harder and grimmer.
From the very little I have seen from streamers, the game seems great. First, it seems fun to play. The position mechanic that they added on top of a very turn based DnD-esque game-play along with the stress mechanic is very refreshing, specially when compared to other games in the market. The way that the game ties mechanics and personality with the quirks is also very refreshing in video games (not many games do them). From being unable to relieve stress in certain ways because the character fears god, to swearing never to consume alcohol again. Being a masochist (which has effects in combat).
To me, the game seems great and I can't wait to play it as soon as I have a chance.
What have been your impressions?
