The core gameplay remains the same: turn-based combat, a perma-death system (but only for the run), and buffs and debuffs that carry through the run. Also, you need to visit Hero Shrines to unlock your character’s abilities, which introduces a backstory for each one. As you don’t have a Hamlet, now you need to collect candles throughout your journey and spend them to unlock characters, items, trinkets, and upgrades. Progression changed recently with the introduction of the Altar of Hope. Now you have to carry the flame on a Stagecoach through a few regions until you reach the Mountain, where the final boss lies waiting for you.ĭarkest Dungeon II runs are more similar to Slay the Spire (survive three Regions, each with different encounters and with a final battle towards the end), wherein in the card game, you damage a “Beating Hearth” in the Mountain, you will face giant Brain with four magical lockers. And there is no “escape button” when things get dire. There isn’t a Hamlet to improve or dungeons to choose from for exploring. Although, the best thing about Darkest Dungeon II is that it isn’t an improved version of the first game. Of course, there won’t be other games like Darkest Dungeon than its proper sequel.
