“Their formation is broken! Maintain this offensive.” And Darkest Dungeon is certainly not that.
Darkest dungeon narrator quotes full#
I was initially put off by the dark visual style and the simplicity of the animation, but in full context, Darkest Dungeon’s aesthetic works at multiple levels, unlike just about any game that’s not a straightforward story-based indie game about feelings. It would be excessive if the rest of the game wasn’t built to support this style, but the Lovecraftian gothic fantasy of Darkest Dungeon goes all-in on its themes. It’s a deliberately overwhelming performance by voice actor Wayne June, reminiscent of Logan Cunningham’s control over indie fave Bastion a few years back. Check out this over-the-top example of a phrase that can come up when you run into a trap: The narrator dominates the initial presentation of DD, his sonorous voice and flowery verbiage detailing the game’s occurrences at every point. The first thing you’ll notice loading in Darkest Dungeon is its narrator, solemnly intoning the occult-induced fall of an aristocratic family. That specialness comes from three distinct components: its presentation and style, its role-playing depth, and the meta-game that incorporates both.
Darkest Dungeon was released this week on PC, with a PS4/Vita release expected in the first half of this year.ĭarkest Dungeon is at its core a brutal tactical role-playing game - a sort of dark fantasy XCOM - but that’s an insufficient description of exactly what makes this game so special. The latter category best suits Red Hook’s Darkest Dungeon, a game that sure as hell isn’t perfect, but a game that deserves all the attention it can possibly handle for all the things that it does right.
