"When I found myself shouting in relief and frenetically raising my fist in the air after a hard battle ends in my favor, I can't deny the following fact: Darkest Dungeon II is a harsh but fantastic game whose white-knuckled battles and hazard-filled exploration will trap you for hours. "A copious and often brilliant, if not quite unmissable reworking of a powerfully grim fantasy." Stay clear of this waste of time and play Darkest Dungeon instead.Edwin Evans-Thirlwell, Eurogamer I hate it and wish they had made a genuine sequel instead of this abomination. They refused to add Crusader as a character and also cut out a number of other favorites from Darkest Dungeon while just adding one new character to the roster. They cut out the ancestor's dark tales of macabre investigations into the occult. They simplified the stats with tokens which keeps an element of RNG but makes it now much less interesting and nuanced than before. They added a carriage that is horrible to control and a relationship system that either makes your team hate each other internally for no reason or literally turns your characters gay for each other whether you want them to or not. They cut out all of the town building, character building, and trinket accumulating aspects of the first game. Darkest Roads, as it should be called, is a pathetic attempt at a roguelike that uses similar aesthetics and gameplay mechanics from the first Darkest Dungeon game. The game does not have any dungeons, and it isn't a real sequel to the first Darkest Dungeon. Darkest Darkest Dungeon II is a misnomer.
