Darkest Dungeon II | 2024 Entry | Independent Games Festival (original) (raw)
Entrant 2024
Description
Darkest Dungeon II is a rogue-like turn-based road trip of the damned created by Red Hook Studios, a long time indie game developer based in Vancouver, Canada. Form a party, equip your stagecoach, and set off across the decaying landscape on a last gasp quest to avert the apocalypse.
Darkest Dungeon II is an exploration of overcoming past trauma and finding hope in the face of extreme adversity. From the burning Sprawl to the diseased Foetor, the long road to the Mountain will challenge your strategies and your endurance. Discover the failings of your flawed heroes in playable backstories and help them find redemption on the road. Explore various tactics as you battle unspeakable horrors who stand between you and salvation. The stress of these encounters can push your heroes into a devastating meltdown…or see them rise resolute out of their darkest moments.
As the journey wears on, your party will form relationships ranging from respectful friendships to antagonistic jealousy, or even outright hatred. With careful leadership you can create bonds that will withstand the nightmarish onslaught, reach the Mountain, and prevail against the monstrous manifestations of your own history of failures.
