After four years of Early Access development, Red Hook Studios has released the full version of Darkest Dungeon II onto the Epic Games Store and Steam. The follow-up to the 2015 Lovecraftian roguelike dungeon crawler is out now for $39.99 USD, with a limited-time bundle includes both Darkest Dungeon and Darkest Dungeon II for 25% off.
And in case you’re in the splurging mood, if you snag the Steam version of Darkest Dungeon II, your Early Access Epic Game Store save will automatically migrate to the Steam version.
The full 1.0 release includes five Campaigns (“Confessions”), each with their own horrifying boss and pervasive mechanics. You’ll have access to a selection of 12 heroes, each with their own five-part backstory (save for the Bounty Hunter), each of which confers a persistent skill unlock. You’ll also have access to 10 different companion pets, each with different run-defining properties.
There are four major regions to traverse and explore in addition to the Valley, the dangerous but rewarding Sluice, and unique Mountains per Confession. And depending on your mood, there are also several optional thematic difficulty modifiers in the form of the Radiant and Infernal Flame equippable items, for those who want less or more challenge.
Darkest Dungeon II is a rogue-lite turn-based road trip of the damned. Form a party, equip your stagecoach, and set off across the decaying landscape on a last gasp quest to avert an apocalypse caused by your own failures. The greatest dangers you face, however, may come from within the group.
