darkest dungeon 2 early access release date

'Darkest Dungeon 2 is a challenging gothic RPG about the stresses of dungeon crawling. The greatest dangers you face, however, may come from within. Form a party, equip your stagecoach, and set off across a decaying landscape in a last gasp attempt to avert the apocalypse. Trinkets will now also be able to grant effects and play a bigger roll in combat since they are the new main equippable items without armor upgrades.ĭarkest Dungeon II is a roguelike road trip of the damned. Most Effects from the previous game- immobilizer, stun, bleed, blind and some combo attacks have more been turned into tokens. There are no more upgrades to armor and weapons to simplify combat and Builds.

Stats like hit points, speed and resistance will still remain in the game, however familiar stats like accuracy have been wiped completely from the mechanics of the game. Some aesthetic changes to characters and animations during combat have been modified. This time though, the full stress meter triggers a meltdown instead of a heart attack, affecting their vitality and relationships, which in turn also affects other Heroes' sanity.Ĭombat will remain similar to the first edition of the game, but will appear in 3D. This time the run will only take five hours, so character Quirks may be more dynamic and affect gameplay early on for the rest of the party. Players will be given the chance to focus on just four Heroes this time compared to the faster turnover rate of the previous game, where replacing crazed heroes was the norm.

Players can expect shorter runs, rather than the first large campaign.
