Darkest Dungeon® II

Really wanted to like this game, I could not. The carriage movement feels awful, the game has constant stutters, lags and the speed up function for both the carriage and combat does not even work. Bosses feel unfair, but not DD1 unfair, no, like complete BS sometimes. Getting into a run feels like a chore, the selected paths for each character reset if they die and I don't even understand why would you ever continue a run if two of your units died during a Lair boss or whatever, literally impossible if you are doing hard difficulty runs. 2 hours each run btw.

моего любимого баунти хантерыча разрабы опрокинули и сделали не активным персонажем которого можно лишь нанять в трактире, разработчики правильно поняли намек русификации в первой части bounty hunter = наемник и сделали в этой игре перса буквально наемником без души, без истории и без имени, просто нпс который следует за тобой один регион. В магазине предметов стима даже нет аватарки с этим персом

Darkest Dungeon을 재밌게 플레이하셨다면 솔직히 2를 별로 추천하지 않습니다. 전작의 규칙들이 적용되지 않아서 그냥 판수 많이 박아서 쉽게 가라고 밖에 안느껴져요. 그냥 1때 플레이했던 주요 캐릭터들의 움직이는 초상화를 돈주고 산 느낌? 1을 워낙 좋아했어서 몇시간이라도 해보고 비판하려고 했는데 이 이상하고 싶지가 않네요...

Продолжение легендарного рогалика, но теперь тёмные данжи занимают менее трети игры, а ходить приходится не пешком, а на дилижансе, в котором сидят члены твоего отряда, которым не нравятся шутки и то, что ты хилишь не их, а того, что почти умер.

In short, this game fails at being a rouge-like. It is a decent game overall, and if you are into story-focused experiences, Darkest Dungeon 2 has a great narrative underpinning it, with a great cast of characters and a superb narration. Having followed Darkest Dungeon since its early access, both titles of it, I have to say, it was always a strange decision to make this a "rogue-like". When players purchase a game of this genre, they expect things akin to Dead Cells, Risk of Rain, Slay the Spire, Monster Train - games where even if you are choosing archetypes for characters, it is entirely viable to change them fully and in fact, that's where much of the fun will come from, you design a build and push it to its limits against increasingly difficult odds. Darkest Dungeon offers you a stiff party of four, which will always be a party of four, which will always demand a healer and a 'stress healer', whereas stress functions as a secondary health bar, always demands a tank and a damage dealer. Regrettably, the cast of characters is very limited, with few mods to alleviate this problem. You also get to determine everything about the characters, from what sub-class they'll bring to the table, through their attack and skills all the way to which position(front, middle or central) they'll occupy. While the game does have a randomize button for both parties and characters, it is more of a suicide button. Which leads to this games' biggest problem. Its a massive time-waster, each time you start an expedition, you are pitting yourself into an hours long run, so you better: 1. Make a party with all of the major roles described above covered 2. Make a party which can substitute and complement each other for the major roles(typically another character with a lesser healing ability) 3. Make a party which you want to run together and who are not entirely crippled by being disrupted 4. Figure out the right subclass and the right abilities for them 5. Make sure they are suited to handling the mini-bosses 6. Can make sure of one of the pets you can choose 7. If you are running them, the negative end-game modifiers will not entirely screw the build over This alone already greatly limits what the party will look like, combined with the fact that unlike in the first game, you can't bring multiple copies of the same character and with much of the first game's cast not returning, as well as newer characters being scarce and almost entirely relegated to DLC makes the experience of building a new party almost akin to a HR recruitment task. Once this process ends the game shines, but again, not as a rogue-like, as a demanding turn-based combat game. If the time which was spent making multiple different iterations of many systems this game had(I do recommend looking through the update history of this game, there are parts of it which were reworked, then the rework got reworked once more.) was dedicated to making it an actual RPG with character dialogue and interactions, it'd be an incredible experience. One of the slightly controversial changes the game made from the original was removing the vagueness of character backstories. This, not only massively prolonged the creation of each character, as their story is told in interactive chunks during runs and each chunk is beautifully done. This wouldn't be a problem, if again, not for tonnes of time dedicated to making this happen. DD1 had vague, brief comic strips that at most implied a character's backstory, while leaving many entirely up to the player's interpretation, but most importantly saved time. The game's combat is fun, amazing even, it is punishing, at times unfair, but it is so well done that it is honestly one of the most impressive aspects of it. If you are a huge fan of turn based combat, I do recommend giving this one a chance. However, this is more or less where my praises end entirely. This game shouldn't be a rogue-like, should have never been one, the developers make basically every decision that is downright opposite of the genre, the runs are slow, sluggish, take ages to set up and can end at a whim due to unfortunate circumstance, the characters do not develop or change drastically during a run. The most you can usually hope for is slight stat variations. Concession after concession was made to the player-base to either lower the number of already limited rouge-like elements and to make the second game more similar to the first game. With the grandest among them being the Kingdoms Update. The Kingdoms game-mode, entirely unplanned when the game was still in early-access is the ultimate admission that the developer's vision was misguided. The way in which this game-mode uses characters from the previous game and how much it resembles DD1's goal is downright fan service. While the game-mode is indeed more similar, it lacks passion and dedication, much of its content is limited to itself, with enemies that were never brought to the main game-mode. Kingdoms, is in effect, the game that every DD1 player wanted when they witnessed the sequel on the horizon, just perpetually stuck in a kind of Beta state, as it was developed haphazardly and basically made on a whim to appease the community. To conclude, the game is gorgeous, the combat is compelling, the characters are well-made, but it fails at its own genre and is more for people who both fancy a difficult experience and turn based combat, not for DD1 or rogue-like fans.

A un peu perdu son côté un peu original pour retrouver les schéma très classique des roguelike à trois arcs. On ne garde plus ses personnages pour les faire progresser, il n'y a plus de gestion du village et des équipages inactifs... Bref, le jeu n'est pas mauvais, mais il a perdu son originalité.
