Here's a thread for Darkest Dungeon chat as it's now on every platform ever, hurrah!
It's a very good game where you heartlessly send resources heroes of into meatgrinders dungeons for loot and heirlooms to help restore your ancestor's town to its former glory. Maybe he uncovered something and beyond comprehension dark below, maybe it's just a fat pile of treasure, who's to know?
Characters are affected not only by health damage but also sanity damage. Battles are inelegant messy affairs of blood are terror. I'll expand the OP later (as I didn't realise tea was about to be finished) but I urge every to at least boomark the Wiki because the Curio page is the most useful thing in the world. https://darkestdungeon.gamepedia.com/Darkest_Dungeon_Wiki
Skerret's posting is ok to trip balls to and read just to experience the ambience but don't expect any content. "I'm jealous of sucking major dick!"~ Kernowgaz
I've gotten used to the controls now. One thing I learnt the hard way was disarming traps, use the touch screen. Doh.
I love this game. I have 3 squads on rotation at the moment. Also newbies picked up from stagecoach in a "test" squad. Basically cannon fodder to go test out new lineups and get as far through a dungeon as possible. If I can get out with the loot then great.
Upgrading the stagecoach, guild and blacksmith. Got blueprint now as well, but it's very expensive.
Need to take team alpha in to do the boss battle...i don't want them to die. Maybe holdoff till they get more experience
Just got my second team wiped out. Over a stupid mistake. The map was off screen and I took the wrong turn. Ended up losing too much health starving as I’d wasted a load of food heading my crusader. My Jester was kicking ass too. By the time I got my team to the final group of baddies my crusader had died of a heart attack and my team of three didn’t really stand a chance. Oh well there are fresh recruits at the stagecoach.
Well, lesson learnt. Finished a mission. It was abit easy so though, what the hell got a few more rooms to explore. The very next corridor appear a monster I've never seen before, decimated my party, luckily everyone survived. Once that was over, I thought better of hanging around and ended the mission. That could have gone very very badly wrong.
Fully getting into this now. Making tentative forays into new areas. Finally understanding the nuances of placement and abilities crossover. Had a cracking first run in the Cove until my team nearly got decimated by the bullshit which is revenge. Had to make a swift retreat. Now I’m low on cash with my strong healer meditating at the abbey I think I’ll just squander some new recruits on the next mission.
Alpha team strikes again, boss no.2 down. Only lost my vestel. Other three made it back. Two of those team are my original starting two characters. They are going well.
Fine work tempy creating a thread
I got very deep into this last year on iPad, got it for switch but was sidetracked by Bayonetta 2 which I just completed this morning.
Thinking of getting back into it but fuck it’s such a horrible game and completely compulsive at the same time. Can’t think of any other gaming experience like it
** Just fucked up epically. On the way to do a boss with Charlie team. In a corridor came across a red ball, stupidly lit it. It pulled me into a void again a monster I can barely damage. Managed to run away. Then to make matters worse, I clicked on the wrong direction when in the room and went back into the fight. No escape this time. All of Charlie team desimated. KIA. I could have salvaged that, if I didn't click in wrong direction. Idiot, idiot, idiot.
It's worth noting that in the Gameplay Options there are some things you can do to tweak stuff if there are certain things that are not to your liking.
