Description

The Ancestral Edition includes the Darkest Dungeon core game plus the following content packs: The Crimson Court and The Shieldbreaker. Darkest Dungeon is a challenging gothic roguelike turn-based RPG about the psychological stresses of adventuring. Recruit, train, and lead a team of flawed heroes through twisted forests, forgotten warrens, ruined crypts, and beyond. You'll battle not only unimaginable foes, but stress, famine, disease, and the ever-encroaching dark. Uncover strange mysteries, and pit the heroes against an array of fearsome monsters with an innovative strategic turn-based combat system. * The Affliction System – battle not only monsters, but stress! Contend with paranoia, masochism, fear, irrationality, and a host of gameplay-meaningful quirks! * Striking hand-drawn gothic crowquill art style * Innovative turn-based combat pits you against a host of diabolical monsters * Narration system to celebrate your successes...and failures * 15 (and counting!) playable hero classes, including Plague Doctor, Hellion, and even the Leper! * Camp to heal wounds or deliver inspiring speeches. * Rest your weary, shell-shocked characters in town at the Tavern or the Abbey to keep their stress in check. * Classic CRPG and roguelike features, including character permadeath, procedural dungeons, and incredible replay Can you stem the tide of eldritch horrors erupting across your family’s ancestral estate? Descend at your peril! "THE BLOOD...I MUST HAVE THE BLOOD!" Darkest Dungeon®: The Crimson Court is the first expansion for the award-winning grim and gothic RPG by Red Hook Studios. Crimson Court is a parallel campaign experienced alongside the main Darkest Dungeon content that will provide you with new challenges and variation at every difficulty level. The narrative grounding sheds some light on the Ancestor’s early days, and will be presented in the same style of cut-scenes you’ve seen elsewhere in the game. As the Crimson Curse spreads unrelentingly over the estate, parties will battle new enemies in familiar regions, as well as setting foot in a completely new sprawling environment: the Courtyard. There, amidst unique curios, traps and obstacles, a complete faction of new blood-crazed foes lie in wait, overseen by three distinct boss encounters. These slavering enemies and epic encounters will introduce new combat mechanics, testing the limits of your favorite strategies. As the infestation grows and your roster begins to sicken, the Fanatic will emerge to roam the hallways, confusing friend and foe alike in his zealous quest to exterminate the Curse. The odds are not completely stacked against you, however! A new playable hero class will be added alongside powerful new trinkets, town events, and a fresh way to expand and upgrade your Hamlet. “And all around is the desert; a corner of the mournful kingdom of sand.” - Pierre Loti The Shieldbreaker DLC adds an all new recruitable hero into Darkest Dungeon. She is a powerful tactical combatant, able to pierce armor, break guards, and poison foes. The DLC also includes several new monsters and a new consumable item type: the Aegis Scale! Hailing from the distant windswept dunes of the east, the Shieldbreaker arrives in the Hamlet! Deadly as a viper, her iron will has been forged in the heat of the blazing desert sun. Though outwardly demure, her emancipation from the barren wastes came at a price so terrible, it haunts her dreams even now...
