Lead flawed heroes through twisted forests, forgotten warrens, and ruined crypts in this gothic roguelike turn-based RPG. Battle unimaginable foes alongside stress, famine, disease, and encroaching darkness with an innovative strategic turn-based combat system. Recruit, train, and manage teams afflicted by paranoia, masochism, fear, and quirks, while using camps to heal or inspire, and town facilities like the Tavern and Abbey to curb stress.
Permadeath, procedural dungeons, and 15 playable hero classes demand tough choices against eldritch horrors on your family's ancestral estate. The Shieldbreaker joins as a recruitable hero who pierces armor, breaks guards, and poisons enemies, introducing new monsters and the Aegis Scale consumable. Players who relish psychological challenges and replayable CRPG runs will find a stern test here.
“And all around is the desert; a corner of the mournful kingdom of sand.”
-Pierre Loti
The Shieldbreaker is a powerful ally in the fight to reclaim the Estate and banish the evil that squats in the Darkest Dungeon. A highly-tactical and solid damage dealing hero, she truly excels when countering monsters with high protection and those who guard their allies. Her movement, speed, and targeted abilities make her a valuable ally for dismantling intractable monster groups. Though relatively low health, the Shieldbreaker is yet highly survivable in short bursts thanks to her Aegis scales.
Features:
* New hero class: the Shieldbreaker
* Shieldbreaker class-specific trinkets, including a lore set
* 3 New Monsters - frightful illusions from the Shieldbreaker's origin, now slithering forward to infest the Estate
* New Consumable Item - Aegis Scale, providing a last bastion of protection for when a hero truly needs it.
