Description
Darkest Dungeon II is a roguelike 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 the apocalypse. The greatest dangers you face, however, may come from within...
Gather your courage and ride out into the chaos of a world undone.
Four heroes and a stagecoach are all that stand between darkness and salvation.
Tried and True Turn-based Combat, Improved
The ground-breaking genre-defining combat from Darkest Dungeon returns, but everything from stats to rules has been refined and improved. The all new Token System helps make your decisions impactful while adding even more depth of play.
Unforgettable Heroes
Uncover and experience the tragic origin stories of each hero. Unlock their full potential via new skills, paths, items, and more.
Roguelike Runs, Each With Its Own Emerging Story
Each expedition lasts from 30 minutes to several hours. Even an untimely end will arm you with resources that can be spent to improve your next journey.
The Altar of Hope
Engage with a massive system of upgrades and boons that opens up new strategies for each expedition. Choose what’s important to you as you formulate your assaults on the Mountain.
The Affinity System
As travels progress, heroes bond with each other or grate on each others’ nerves, leading to desperately needed combat synergies or journey-ending dysfunction. Manage their stress and interaction to keep the team together until the bitter end.
Nightmarish Environs
From the burning Sprawl to the diseased Foetor, the long road to the Mountain will challenge your strategies and your endurance.
Explore five distinct regions, each with their own unique creatures and challenges.
A Moment’s Peace
Rest your weary, shell-shocked heroes at the Inn, where you can relieve their stress and try to improve their relationships with a variety of diversions and delights.
Face Your Failures
Journey to the Mountain and face down five terrifying manifestations of your weaknesses.
Signature Art Style, Evolved
Darkest Dungeon’s genre-defining art now improved with no expense spared on 3D visuals, animation, and visual FX.
A Feast for the Ears
The audio team from Darkest Dungeon is back. Revel in an all new narration performance by voice actor Wayne June, a brand new expansive score by Stuart Chatwood, and bone-crunching sound effects from Power Up Audio.

Absolutely love it! Despite the tedious start, just go in with the mindset to fail over and over again. That's actually the point, and part of the in-game metaphor. You'll win eventually!

Darkest Dungeon II offers a gripping and darkly atmospheric experience that builds on the strengths of its predecessor. This sequel shifts from the original’s dungeon-crawling format to a road trip-style adventure, where you guide a party through a perilous journey across a grim, apocalyptic landscape. The game maintains the series' hallmark of brutal difficulty and psychological stress, adding layers of strategic depth with its new mechanics. The dynamic, roguelike progression keeps each run unpredictable, and the relentless challenge ensures that every decision matters. The hand-drawn art style and haunting soundtrack create an immersive atmosphere that’s both beautiful and unsettling. With its complex systems and intense difficulty, Darkest Dungeon II is a must-play for fans of dark, tactical RPGs looking for a fresh and punishing experience.
