Darkest Dungeon®: The Ancestral Edition

Darkest Dungeon®

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

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.

Darkest Dungeon®: The Crimson Court

Darkest Dungeon®: The Crimson Court is the first expansion for the award-winning grim and gothic RPG by Red Hook Studios. Crimson Court is a parallel campaign experienced alongside the main Darkest Dungeon content that will provide you with new challenges and variation at every difficulty level. The narrative grounding sheds some light on the Ancestor’s early days, and will be presented in the same style of cut-scenes you’ve seen elsewhere in the game.

Darkest Dungeon®: The Shieldbreaker

The Shieldbreaker DLC adds an all new recruitable hero into Darkest Dungeon. She is a powerful tactical combatant, able to pierce armor, break guards, and poison foes. The DLC also includes several new monsters and a new consumable item type: the Aegis Scale.

Darkest Dungeon®: The Color of Madness

The Color of Madness DLC opens the Farmstead region which has become the site of a fallen comet! What madness awaits those who venture forward to find the out fate of The Miller and his farmhands? Battle your way towards the crash site and venture between time and space to find what lies at the epicenter of this new creeping crystalline aberration!

Darkest Dungeon®: The Musketeer

The Musketeer is a FREE DLC hero class which was only available to upper-tier Kickstarter backers. She is complete, high quality re-skin of the Arbalest class.

Darkest Dungeon®: The Original Soundtrack

Original 'Darkest Dungeon' score by veteran composer Stuart Chatwood. This DLC contains all 25 tracks (MP3/FLAC) from across all the Darkest Dungeon releases. Recently Updated to include the 2 new Butcher's Circus tracks!

Darkest Dungeon Ratings & Reviews

Punishing and beautifully crafted, Darkest Dungeon is cruelty at its classiest.

PC Gamer

88 / 100

A wonderfully executed, brilliantly stressful reinvention of party-based dungeon-crawling, Darkest Dungeon is great fun, even when it's cruel.

A richly satisfying and wonderfully executed masterpiece.
