By 游戏时光VGTIME December 19, 2017

“《极黑地牢》是一款有些贴切现实的游戏：探索地牢的勇者内心并不强大，没有火光就可能导致他们的崩溃。从地牢探索归来的勇者并不会瞬间抚慰自己的精神创伤，而是通过酗酒、祷告甚至招妓来摆脱压力，但科学的解决方式收效甚微，粗暴的解决方式可能让英雄们染上更多疾病。说真的，招妓过后发现自己没染梅毒松了一口气的感觉在其他游戏中可很难碰到。”

About This Game

Darkest Dungeon is a challenging gothic roguelike turn-based RPG about the psychological stresses of adventuring.

Reclaim Your Ancestor's Estate

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.

Core Features

  • 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
  • 16 (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!
