Unsettling but rewarding roguelike RPG - Darkest Dungeon Review
Darkest Dungeon is a role-playing game that delves into the psychological stress of dungeon exploration, where managing your team's sanity is crucial. With Lovecraftian and Gothic art styles creating a chilling atmosphere, this game offers a challenging yet gratifying experience akin to renowned roguelike RPGs like Into the Breach and Risk of Rain.
