You send heroes out on quests to get gold, heirlooms, and trinkets so you can spend them on upgrading your estate, your heroes, or simply curing the problems your heroes develop while questing. Most of Darkest Dungeon follows a very predictable loop.

As you complete quests though, you'll be able to upgrade parts of your estate, like the Sanitarium, to help you better tend to your heroes between fights. The mental anguish that your adventurers experience adds a layer of difficulty to Darkest Dungeon such that keeping heroes alive and mentally stable becomes extremely difficult, even on the game's easiest setting. Although the idea of fighting monsters might sound straightforward enough, the horror of seeing and fighting these creatures takes a toll on your heroes, to the point that they can go mad. You play as the heir to a gothic mansion that just so happens to be infested with otherworldly, Lovecraftian monsters, and you decide that the best way to spend your time is by recruiting heroes to fight them for you. In this mobile form, Darkest Dungeon: Tablet Edition provides more or less the same experience as the original PC version, albeit with some slight problems using menus with touch controls.ĭarkest Dungeon is basically a mix between a management game and a dungeon-crawler. It's a dungeon-crawler that tests your heroes' physical abilities and mental stability in quest after quest as you try to stem the tide of eldritch horrors erupting across your family's estate.

After many months of speculation and hinting from Red Hook Studios, Darkest Dungeon: Tablet Edition finally came out.
