Darkest Dungeon® II

Honestly it runs like crap on the steam deck. Not sure why a mostly 2d game is so poorly optimized.

I really like the game, but the relationship choice mechanics are so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ unbelievably stupid and nonsense. Why do my characters at LOW STRESS AND HIGH HEALTH want to make decisions that will only hurt my run? Costing me 30 torchlight and 2 stress for 2 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ food items vs helping at an assistance encounter for +30 torchlight and +stagecoach health feels like this literally only exists to nuke my relationship points and for no other reason. If my characters were at like 4 or 5 stress and/or low on health, sure, whatever, you could make the argument there for them to make nonsense decisions, but as it stands it's just there to inexplicably punish the player. If low torchlight had ANY benefits like DD1 then maybe you could make the argument for it, but it's just stupid instead. And I know things like it are easy to fix with inn items but it doesn't change how unbelievably dumb and forced in the choices often are. Also, why don't DoTs, especially DoTs from killing blows, apply to corpses, especially when you can still DoT corpses???

Way more balanced and approachable then DD1. I can see why the DD1 players might not like the changes but this is objectively a better designed game. Visuals are also a very juicy. UI Can be wired sometimes and it s not clear where are you supposed to click but other then that more fun then DD1.

纯正狗粑粑，和一代完全俩游戏，

It's great honestly.

1,000 hours and 100% achievements later – this is a masterpiece, not a DD1 clone!!! As someone who is about to cross the 1,000-hour milestone and has unlocked every single achievement, I felt compelled to write this. The mixed reviews on Steam are deeply unfair to what Red Hook Studios has actually accomplished here. Most negative reviews come from players who wanted "Darkest Dungeon 1.5" – managing the Hamlet, endless grinding, and disposable heroes. DD2 intentionally took a bold, completely different direction. This is a grim, deeply tactical roguelike road trip, and it executes that vision flawlessly. Why this game is a masterpiece (from a veteran's perspective): • Chess-like Combat: The token system replaces the heavy RNG and stat-bloat of the first game, turning every fight into a high-stakes puzzle. Team synergy and positioning are everything. • Heroes with Soul: Instead of sending nameless recruits to the meat grinder, you build a cohesive party. The dynamic Affinity system and character shrines give these heroes a real sense of weight and story. • Flawless Presentation: The transition to a stylized 3D art style, the combat animations, and the legendary Wayne June narrating your downfall create an unmatched atmosphere. • Incredible Endgame Content: The newer Kingdoms mode and Blood Moon difficulty offer an ultimate test of skill and long-term planning for anyone who thinks they've mastered the base game. Darkest Dungeon II is brutal, punishing, and demands that you actually sit down and learn its complex systems. If you quit after 20 hours because a run failed, you missed out on the true depth this game offers once it finally clicks. Stop listening to the nostalgia-blinded complaints. Darkest Dungeon II is its own prideful beast, and it deserves every second of your time. Highest possible recommendation.

不好玩，不如去看永雏塔菲

I have played more than 1,220+ hours on Darkest Dungeons and now have ventured to playing Darkest Dungeons 2. The UI and clicks are way too fancy. You have to hold and wait for it to be click. That is so bad in a game. Why can't it be a simple click? Making it too complicated guys. Just keep it simple. Damn annoying learning or should i say guessing the clicks and require to hold.
