Darkest Dungeon® News

When we relaunched the RPS supporter program at the end of June, one of the benefits of becoming a premium subscriber was regular free game keys, as curated by the RPS staff. Today, we're announcing one of the next game keys that will be available for existing premium subscribers: Darkest Dungeon, the exquisite gothic roguelike that's also one of our favourite RPGs of all time.

Darkest Dungeon 2 has launched in early access, inviting us all on a delightfully stressful wagon ride. The sequel to Red Hook Studios' dark roguelike moves away from expeditions in the gloomy Hamlet, and instead sends you on a journey through horrific lands to stop an apocalypse. The devs recently told me about why they're taking their gothic tale on the road, and it has something to do with wanting to emulate a rather uncomfortable road trip.

Mr Pepper’s Vestal Rework by Mr.Pepper

This rework aims to make Vestal able to run different builds rather than the same 4 skills, whether it is range support or a more offensive role in the frontline.
Vestal’s base stats have not been changed, she however now has access to 2 new skills which replace Hands of Light and Illuminate; Banishment and Light’s Blessing. Divine Comfort is now limited use and gets refreshed between each wave in Endless.

The Rudiment by Lafos, ouroboros-art, CLeo1714

The Rudiment is a man-made monster with a human’s soul, who almost lost all of its memories except for one, an old song. A warrior in life and a protector in death, the Rudiment is waiting for a chance to meet its Creator, its Father, whose voice summoned it to Hamlet. Maybe it’s to protect him as Rudiment… or as a human, to get revenge for its painful transformation. Because of its past, The Rudiment can still behave like any other humans, even though it sometimes leads to some… misunderstandings.
Depending on the task, the Rudiment can be a nice melee damage dealer or a great tank and supporter who is capable of protecting one ally during a whole battle and wreak havoc on the ranks of enemies. However, if the Rudiment is on guard, its strength is not the same as if its task is only to eliminate enemies. And remember, the Rudiment is still a monster and a huge threat, therefore it can also damage allies and put stress on them.

Casual Provisions and Common Enemies by Kevkas

Shows provisions suggestions on the right side of the expedition preparation screen based on a bunch of different guides/wikis and other mods.
This is for people who come back to the game every few months and can't remember how many of the provision items they should take with them.
Please - treat these values as a guide/suggestion, feel free to adjust the amount to your liking if you feel you're taking too much or too little with you.

Mafe’s Vanilla Refactor: Hellion by Mafe

This mod is aimed to bring a new breath to the Hellion class, based on Mafe's personal vision for her.

A) General aspects and mechanics:
-New Mechanic: Berserker Rage: When Hellion gets below 50% of her total life, she enters a state of pure rage where she deals and receives 20% more DMG. In this state, all of her skills get additional effects.
-However, after Hellion gets above 50% of her life again, she will hinder her rage and return to normal, with a 4 rounds and incurable -2 SPD and -20% healing received debuff.
-At combat's end, no matter health, she will return to her normal state without penalties.
-As a consequence of this, her entire skillset was revisited to fit this behaviour
-An unique Riposte that cannot miss or deal DMG but that buffs her allies
-New barks and some hidden references on those
-Lifesteal! After using Adrenaline Surge, all of her skills will heal her for a % of DMG done (on skill that deal DMG, of course)

The Land Dweller by Snorlaxxo, Hestrir

It is unclear where she comes from. It is unknown what brought her to existence. Perhaps it was the ever-spreading corruption, or something else entirely. But in the end, nothing changes the fact that she is here.
Even if her body oozes adhesives, is being a monster truly that abhorrent?

Here Be Monsters - The New Shadow by Shay, Cryptix, Mafe, Chogex, Wellington McSkellington , MetalGy, Uncanny Gemstar, Zap, Jol Balrok, MoonKanin, Adon, Neostalk , 54NBB

"As evidence of your heroes' exploits begins to spread, dread behemoths, championed through might and malice, heed the urge to hunt them down..."

Here Be Monsters is a series of mods that will add new enemies to Darkest Dungeon. This instalment introduces four new regular monsters and one new miniboss. These are part of The New Shadow, a larger expansion to HBM that will be releasing soon. The regular monsters are exclusive to Champion level dungeons, while the miniboss is a roaming encounter, much like Thing From The Stars, providing greater challenges and new unexpected encounters to your endgame missions!
