Any fans care to weigh in on their excitement level over this?

Darkest Dungeon never took for me. It felt too punishing and I didn’t enjoy the gameplay enough to press on.

I’ve heard the sequel is a pretty significant departure from the original, which caught my interest as I didn’t love the original. I’d be curious how the sequel has settled out as fans adjusted to it and are now looking at this DLC.

I liked the original but found it a bit too punishing/affected by RNG. But I LOVE the sequel - they smoothed out the worst rough edges and made things more predictable. For example, no more hit% for attacks - now attacks hit unless enemies have a Dodge token, which gives then 50% miss chance and is expended after one attack against them. And of course the roguelike structure is a great fit. I feel like this is the perfected version of Darkest Dungeon mechanics - you will suffer, odds are overwhelming, but you have a lot of options to mitigate or occasionally even benefit from bad status effects, and combat is much more predictable.

I think it's a great game and I'm interested in the DLC.
