There is no history, no characters, no places, and things like that. This game does not have “lore” in any way that I have discovered yet like an Elder Scrolls or Dark Souls game for example.
It looks great, and it sounds great, and it actually has some very interesting worldbuilding going on. But a lot of praised has been heaped on the game for its presentation and I think it’s entirely justified. Until at some point you can form a party powerful enough to beat the Darkest Dungeon. Pick your team of four characters from your barrack and send them into a dungeon to get money to buy upgrades and level them up, while every so often some of them die and have to be replaced with new recruits.
I think you could describe it as somewhere halfway between X-Com and Rogue. It’s actually a fairly simple game without any plot. Now that I am no longer treading in place, I got the chance to finally fully enjoy the things other than the combat that the game has to offer. Now that I learned my mistake I actually managed to defeat my first boss in week 81 and it’s all been so much easier from there. So yeah, I was trying to play the whole game with effectively level 0 characters. Increasing stats is done through upgrading weapons and armor. But it seems leveling up a character does not actually increase the stats, or at least not in any substenntial ways. And this is the kind where it’s “when the character dies” and not “if the character dies”. My reasoning was that any weapons and armor I bought would be lost when that character dies and all the money wasted. “The most important thing is to use all your money to upgrade skills and equipment.” I never put any resources into unlocking equipment or any money into buying equipment. “Don’t waste money by trying to make all your characters recover immediately after a run.” I always spend almost all my money on recovery. When I tried to get back into the game, I went to look up for advice on how to really play the game, and I learned two very important lessons. This became a big problem and led to me getting almost completely stuck. And then never using any of them even in the final fight. I’m the kind of player who never uses potions and hoards all the money because “I might really need them later”. When I first got Darkest Dungeon about a year ago, I had a really hard time with it.
