You move from battle to battle via a steerable carriage, but it barely matters. It almost felt like I wasn’t playing the game at times, given that the correct moves weren’t hard to discern and only worked at random.ĭarkest Dungeon II is hard, and improving your skill as a player will increase your success, but I wish randomness had less influence than it does. You can end up with a dozen random chances per turn determining whether you go into a death spiral or have an easy win, and it frustrated me.
Most equipment has a random chance to inflict a positive or negative status effect, your character’s relationships will go up or down at random, which leads to a random chance to debuff your own teammates, all status effects have a chance to be resisted, and so on. When any enemy or character’s health is reduced to zero, they have a chance to enter Death’s Door, a state wherein they have a percentage chance to survive any subsequent hit that would usually kill. Stress returns from the previous game, and on the whole, it’s a no-frills combat system that works well other than one thing: Darkest Dungeon II is incredibly random. There are status effects and equipment, but instead of experience, you’ll receive mastery points that can upgrade individual abilities on a hero of your choice. It works like most other turn-based RPG-style roguelikes, where you select an ability for your characters to use in battle as their turn arrives. Darkest Dungeon II is a roguelike by Red Hook Studios.
