There’s one genre that players love, and that’s dungeons. Those that seem dark, full of danger and that on all occasions mark forever the meaning of our departure. And if you add a layer of role-playing, different character classes, personal and beautiful graphics, and extremely creepy dungeons, you get darkest dungeon. A game released in 2016 and that it has succeeded in style on virtually every platform.
Maps, role and turn-based combat
The fact is that darkest dungeon is going to have a second part which, although it has already gone through a process of Early Access last year, it is not until the second quarter of 2023 (April to June) that we will finally release it for our computers. So since we have a few empty months ahead of us, how about revisiting its first part, which was the one that really marked the path of the saga?
darkest dungeon It is one of those games that arrive with a certain discretion but quickly become a reference in its genre. In this case we can speak of one that mixes a dark story, a very neat graphic aspect that always plays with that 2.5D effect and a decor that surrounds us every time we decide to play a game. But this packaging would be nothing without shisha, without a playable crumb to put in our mouths.
and from that darkest dungeon he stays because No matter where you play it, its experience is always satisfying. Whether on PC, on a tablet with iOS or Android, on a Nintendo Switch, on PS4, Xbox One or on the now defunct (not forgotten) PS Vita.
Dungeons and hundreds of enemies
In darkest dungeon We manage a group of heroes who are fed by the inhabitants of a strange village in which they live with a dark evil. The idea is to go create new patrols of four members that each has a well-differentiated class and a skill tree that needs to be evolved. The problem is that the dungeons are very demanding and more units than expected will enter service, so we will have to replace them with other characters and lose precious resources along the way.
Going through dungeons is the most fun because we move (sideways) with the group through corridors that they relate to others and take us to the depths where the greatest enemies await us. Along the way we can light torches, collect items and objects, the occasional energy repairer and things like that, but the most important thing is that enemies usually come out of nowhere, by surprise, hitting us in first.
These turn-based battles are the best you’ll see because they are simple and fast and, above all, they represent a challenge to know how to execute the right shot or the right movement at all times. A parry or an attack that does not reach its objective can mean the death of a unit and, therefore, leave the expedition alone for the rest of the adventure.
The proof of its success is that darkest dungeon Today it keeps its price relatively high and on Steam, for example, you can get it for around 25 dollars, with all the DLCs and extras that have appeared in the last seven years. So enjoy it, only when it arrives darkest dungeon 2 You will no longer be able to enjoy the first…
