Darkest Dungeon is a challenging gothic RPG about dungeon stress.

You'll lead a band of heroes on a perilous side-scrolling descent, facing a prodigious number of threats to their physical health, and worse, a relentless assault on their mental fortitude.

Five hundred meters underground you will not only fight unimaginable enemies, but also hunger, disease and the stress of the ever-closer darkness.

Recruit, train and lead a team of flawed heroes through twisted forests, forgotten moors, ruined crypts and beyond.

Uncover strange mysteries and pit the heroes against an array of fearsome monsters with an innovative turn-based strategic battle system.
