Today, Red Hook Studios has announced that its strategy dungeon crawler, Darkest Dungeon, is set to release for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita on September 27th.
Watched the trailer and still don’t know what Darkest Dungeon is? Well lucky you — here is an official description:
“Darkest Dungeon is a gothic roguelike RPG dungeon crawler about the psychological stresses of adventuring. You will lead a band of four heroes on a perilous side-scrolling descent, dealing with a prodigious number of threats to their bodily health, and worse, a relentless assault on their mental fortitude! Five hundred feet below the earth you will not only fight unimaginable foes, but famine, disease, and the stress of the ever-encroaching dark. Darkest Dungeon focuses on the humanity and psychological vulnerability of the heroes and asks: What emotional toll does a life of adventure take?”
Studio Community Manager, John Lindvay, went on to reveal via the PlayStation Blog, that the game’s price will be set at $24.99 (or the local equivalent), and will feature both cross-buy and cross-save support.
Additionally, that PS Plus members can also expect a 20% discount off of the game.
Darkest Dungeon originally released for PC on January 19, 2016. Upon release it garnered an 84 on Metacritic. It also landed a spot on my personal “Top Ten Games of the Year So Far” list.
My Opinion:
More Darkest Dungeon — this time with trophies. Ahh, life is is good my friends.
