Introducing Kingdoms - a FREE stand alone campaign game mode coming to Darkest Dungeon II later this year.

Watch the Kingdoms announcement trailer below!

[previewyoutube=RkTnnAJjJrA;full][/previewyoutube]

This new game mode challenges players in a desperate race against the clock to find and defeat a monstrous threat before it overwhelms and destroys the Kingdom. Journey across the land to gather resources and battle evil incursions, all while defending a network of safe haven Inns.

Acquired resources are used to upgrade heroes and also the Inns themselves, which can be improved via extensive upgrade trees. Players will embark on unique quest lines and fight back against three new monster factions: The Coven, Beastmen and Crimson Courtiers. Kingdoms can be played independently of the games original Confessions campaign.

We announced Kingdoms earlier today as part of the Triple-i Initiative. To help celebrate the announcement, Darkest Dungeon II is currently 33% off.

In other news, Darkest Dungeon II had it's first free themed update since launch - Chirurgeon's Table - just one month ago. In addition to a new location, two new minibosses, 6 new champion enemies, and completely overhauled torch and Infernal Flames, we are happy to announce that this update also contained both gamepad and Steam Deck support! These features have been frequently requested since launch, and we were happy to get them into our players hands.

Our team is excited for everyone to experience the first of many updates we have planned for Darkest Dungeon II, but we have grand plans for the road ahead.

We are steadily working towards hero origin skins, mod support, and other quality of life improvements. Additionally, we are also focusing on new features that will help improve some of the areas that receive the most lukewarm or negative feedback. Specifically we want to continue to improve the sense of agency and dynamism (reduce some areas of RNG) plus add more variety and replayability. We look forward to sharing details with you as these features approach completion.

We love this game, and will continue to keep making it better and better.

Thanks for your support.

The time has come to face your failures.

Darkest Dungeon II is available now on Steam!

A limited time bundle called The Iron Crown is available which includes both Darkest Dungeon and Darkest Dungeon II for 25% off. With Steams complete my bundle functionality, existing owners of the first game will be able to purchase the sequel at the discounted price.

Note: Steam Cloud Save is not yet implemented for the 1.0 release. We plan to add it in the very near future. Apologies for the inconvenience.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1940340/Darkest_Dungeon_II/

Darkest Dungeon II releases here on Steam in just under 1 week!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1940340/Darkest_Dungeon_II/

Many of you got a glimpse of the game during Steam Next Fest. We want to send a massive thank you to those who played our demo in February and sent us feedback. Based on your comments, we made a number of improvements to our driving system, the Valley and first time user experience - along with a huge swath of new content and features.

We wanted to take this opportunity to discuss what you can expect on May 8th, and beyond.

At launch the game will feature 12 playable characters with a complete narrative featuring 5 acts. Each act is a challenging expedition in which you assemble a party of four heroes and then navigate a series of deadly regions in a quest to reach the Mountain, which houses an imposing end boss themed to that particular Confession. The final two acts and our blight-fueled 12th playable character, The Flagellant, will be new to our 1.0 release. You can also expect to see corpse art, hero palettes, weapon kits, radiant and infernal flames, achievements and a plethora of other features on May 8th.

Were not done yet, either. The original Darkest Dungeon was well supported post-launch with the addition of town events, radiant mode, and multiple new enemies. Our approach is the same with Darkest Dungeon II. The 1.0 Steam launch represents a new phase of development for the game. Looking forward, we have a number of free updates planned that range from content to quality-of-life. Weve already committed to new monsters (the Collector and the Gaunt Chirurgeon - more on that enemy here), playable hero origin skins, and of course, ongoing balance and tuning based on your feedback.

Modding support is also something the team is very passionate about. As many of you know, modding has been an incredible part of the Darkest Dungeon community and it's something that we are eager to bring to Darkest Dungeon II. Weve got a lot of great ideas to facilitate your ability to get creative! Like we did on the original Darkest Dungeon, we are planning to devote time to developing modding tools after our 1.0 release.

Finally, we are excited to announce that our community of existing DDI owners will be able to purchase Darkest Dungeon II at a discounted rate for a limited time! Full pricing and bundle information will be available on May 8th.

We are thrilled to be back on Steam, and look forward to hearing your thoughts. For those of you who were with us for Darkest Dungeon Is journey, you know we always read the forums and value your input.

We hope to have your support on May 8th.

Mr Peppers Vestal Rework by Mr.Pepper

This rework aims to make Vestal able to run different builds rather than the same 4 skills, whether it is range support or a more offensive role in the frontline.
Vestals base stats have not been changed, she however now has access to 2 new skills which replace Hands of Light and Illuminate; Banishment and Lights Blessing. Divine Comfort is now limited use and gets refreshed between each wave in Endless.

The Rudiment by Lafos, ouroboros-art, CLeo1714

The Rudiment is a man-made monster with a humans soul, who almost lost all of its memories except for one, an old song. A warrior in life and a protector in death, the Rudiment is waiting for a chance to meet its Creator, its Father, whose voice summoned it to Hamlet. Maybe its to protect him as Rudiment or as a human, to get revenge for its painful transformation. Because of its past, The Rudiment can still behave like any other humans, even though it sometimes leads to some misunderstandings.
Depending on the task, the Rudiment can be a nice melee damage dealer or a great tank and supporter who is capable of protecting one ally during a whole battle and wreak havoc on the ranks of enemies. However, if the Rudiment is on guard, its strength is not the same as if its task is only to eliminate enemies. And remember, the Rudiment is still a monster and a huge threat, therefore it can also damage allies and put stress on them.

Mafes Vanilla Refactor: Hellion by Mafe

This mod is aimed to bring a new breath to the Hellion class, based on Mafe's personal vision for her.

A) General aspects and mechanics:
-New Mechanic: Berserker Rage: When Hellion gets below 50% of her total life, she enters a state of pure rage where she deals and receives 20% more DMG. In this state, all of her skills get additional effects.
-However, after Hellion gets above 50% of her life again, she will hinder her rage and return to normal, with a 4 rounds and incurable -2 SPD and -20% healing received debuff.
-At combat's end, no matter health, she will return to her normal state without penalties.
-As a consequence of this, her entire skillset was revisited to fit this behaviour
-An unique Riposte that cannot miss or deal DMG but that buffs her allies
-New barks and some hidden references on those
-Lifesteal! After using Adrenaline Surge, all of her skills will heal her for a % of DMG done (on skill that deal DMG, of course)

The Land Dweller by Snorlaxxo, Hestrir

It is unclear where she comes from. It is unknown what brought her to existence. Perhaps it was the ever-spreading corruption, or something else entirely. But in the end, nothing changes the fact that she is here.
Even if her body oozes adhesives, is being a monster truly that abhorrent?

Here Be Monsters - The New Shadow by Shay, Cryptix, Mafe, Chogex, Wellington McSkellington , MetalGy, Uncanny Gemstar, Zap, Jol Balrok, MoonKanin, Adon, Neostalk , 54NBB

"As evidence of your heroes' exploits begins to spread, dread behemoths, championed through might and malice, heed the urge to hunt them down..."

Here Be Monsters is a series of mods that will add new enemies to Darkest Dungeon. This instalment introduces four new regular monsters and one new miniboss. These are part of The New Shadow, a larger expansion to HBM that will be releasing soon. The regular monsters are exclusive to Champion level dungeons, while the miniboss is a roaming encounter, much like Thing From The Stars, providing greater challenges and new unexpected encounters to your endgame missions!

Mr Peppers Jester Rework by Mr.Pepper

This Rework aims to transform the rank 3 dependent Jester into a Dancer. He will bring support through buffs, debuffs and shuffles but is also a real offensive power!

Jesters base stats have not been changed, but some of his gimmicks have been tweaked. Final buffs are now bigger (60% instead of 30%) but only last for 3 rounds instead of 7, this means this move should be considered even for non boss fights (especially since it stress heal allies on kill). Jester also now has a unique riposte that inflicts no damage, but buffs finale each time he is targeted. In endless all the battle limited skills refresh each wave.

Anemones Blighted Grave Robber by Anemone, Adon

Anemone's Blighted Grave Robber: a mode-shifting rogue, building up for one grand attack, while decaying enemy ranks with an array of supportive ranged attacks!
If she is injured or at risk, she can force an ally to guard her and hide them from sight temporarily, giving both a chance to breathe!
And of course, she herself can fade from the frontlines to prepare an even stronger attack!
Using a reworked Toxin Trickery, that is a free action and usable three times a round, she can swap between her blighting Cloak mode, and her armor piercing Dagger mode!
Swap through modes with a stiff drink, to plan for the perfect attack. Distract your foes, fade out of sight, and get ready for the kill!
But beware! Too much of a good thing could have... long term effects.

The Meister by EngineerBean, TrijE, ShallowIris

"A marvel of technology!"

A weak boy at a glance, Meister is a master technician from the east. He was once a beloved retainer of the Emperor, but mysterious crews took everything from him. From the arcane relic of his country, his companions, to his majesty, his dearest friend. Instead of indulging on his blood-stained past, he stepped into the abyss to avenge the fallen ones, with only vendetta on his mind.

Meister destroys whatever stops him from his vengeance, using the mechanical beast made with his masterful craftsmanship. Moreover, he can support companions by spraying gunpowder to expose enemies to critical strikes, or utilize his prosthetic arm to stun them. Medicine is also not a field he lacks; his skill in acupuncture can revitalize even a hero on the verge of their demise.

Mafe Refactor for the Fanatic by Mafe

This mod reworks the fight of the Fanatic boss added with the Crimson Court DLC.
Changes:
-Fanatic is now always alone, as his Pyre was removed. His own custom audio stuff and his background got also removed.
-He now behaves like a Zealous Berserker: Forcing you to pick which heroes will be marked for Retribution, and fighting you with unmatched brutality the closer he is to death, and the more he gets hit.
-Fanatic no longer depends on Infestation level to spawn.
-Fanatic is eternal! Killing Countess wont stop him from showing with this mod enabled.
-On death, Fanatic may drop one of four new trinkets unique to him, plus some Crimson Court trinkets set.
-New skills and some hidden interactions has been given to him.

[h3]Madness - sublimity of the intelligence, or so it has been said.[/h3]


The Mimic Miniboss by Chogex, Wellington McSkellington, NBB

The Mimic mod adds an heirloom chest curio that spawns a new miniboss fight, in a similar vein to TheAmazingGregor's Mimics! mod.

The 4 core regions have a ~13% chance to contain a mimic heirloom chest curio instead of a regular treasure curio. Interacting with this heirloom chest will spawn a fight with the Mimic miniboss. The eldritch monstrosity uses its lure to take over targets affected by saliva secreted by its bulbous tongue.

Fuelled by his diabolic blood, the Hexer can empower himself or share it with his allies. He can even use his blood to melt down his enemies directly and weaken them to further exposure of his malevolence.

Black Reliquary Open Testing by https://twitter.com/ReliquaryMod

Beyond the Estate, far off to the east, there is a land which contains the cradle of timeless evil and dormant power. Our talents are needed to disrupt a swelling terror deep beneath the crags and sands. In its wake we will struggle and suffer, but there are few others who could face the darkness through its veil of sandstorms, and march on to confront the Black Reliquary.

Black Reliquary is a complete overhaul mod and replaces the entire story campaign, while restructuring the game's combat and progression. You will be put to the test against more clever and dangerous opponents in a world which is both familiar and fresh. This project utilizes every tool available to bring in an exciting new experience, going beyond what other mods can do because of compatibility limitations. You'll fight against new enemy factions and in a unique dungeon region (more regions and enemies to come as the mod develops.)

This BETA 0.1 release of the mod features the first portion of the story, fighting within the Catacombs region of the new map.

Miniboss: King Baldwin by Chogex

This is a simple mod which adds a miniboss encounter versus King Baldwin and his right hand men. The fight is tough, but straightforward and does not require the party to be built around defeating it.

Expect the fight to be about as difficult as Collector. King Baldwin does not have the same kill potential, but is more likely to cripple your party. In return, there are riches beyond imagination

This mod adds a single new basic enemy, the Cultist Gunner, based on the cultists seen in Blood (1997). He is a backline damage dealer that specializes in shooting down marked heroes with the occasional dynamite sprinkled in.

You'll find him everywhere the vanilla cultists appear, including an ascended version in the final areas of the game.

This mods aim has been to reduce the feeling of grind in the fight by allowing the player to deal more damage, while creating more opportunities for interesting decision making.

All of the Garden Guardian's parts have shared HP (like Flesh).
Shield takes little damage, Head is weak to direct damage and Arm is weak to DoT damage.

Most of the Garden Guardian's skills have had their damage, crit and acc lowered to account for the other changes that are listed in the full mod description.

Gemstars Cut: Shieldbreaker by Uncanny Gemstar

This Shieldbreaker rework is intended to be a general nerf and refocusing of the class. Shieldbreaker is known for being about to counter nearly every type of enemy, with multiple counters to prot, guard, high action economy, stealth, being shuffled and against rank specific enemies, and so forth.
This rework makes her much more heavily focused as anti-prot and anti-guard, stripping away unnecessary features in favor of making her a more specialized role instead of a generalist.

He has various methods of dealing damage - high accuracy, high crit, or piercing arrows to spread status effects and damage. He also carries attacks that leave enemies crippled with powerful debuffs.

The Levantine Invasion is a short Vvulf-style Hamlet invasion mod that takes place over a single quest involving the Levantines, a faction from the upcoming Black Reliquary Overhaul.

After week 50, and once the player has at least four level 6 heroes, there is a chance that the Hamlet will be assaulted by a Levantine battalion which needs to be repelled. This task force from the distant east is lead by a Janissary commander, who must be eliminated to disperse the remaining Levantine infantry. Much like Wolves at the Door, ignoring this assault will result in the hamlet sustaining damage to its buildings, and retreat leaves a random hero behind.

-New barks based on his poetic side, tied to his Disease.

The Courtesan: Full Class Conversion by by Roderick

The runner-up in the voting, the Courtesan at last has arrived at the Hamlet! This backline support specializes in keeping her allies alive and debuffing foes whilst in human form. But when one needs damage rather than healing, she can transform into a potent backline, laying waste to enemies with short, but highly potent DoT.

Mr Peppers Abomination Rework by Mr.Pepper

The main objective of this rework is to push Abomination to alternate between his forms depending on the fight, even rewarding transforming mid combat. Human form is focused around utility with a stun, pull and stress heal while Beast has damage, but also brings counters to many situations (shuffle, stealth, mark, stun...). The days of transforming Abomination for a single skill are over. However once transformed Abomination can't return to his human form till the combat ends, forcing the player to play aggressively if he doesn't want Abomination to become afflicted.

The Choir Hunter by MoonKanin, Rehtael, Shay

"A wandering sister in search of knowledge."

Based on the Choir Hunter from Bloodborne, the Choir Hunter can be used to torment enemies or to keep your allies fighting. Having the abilities to inflict bleed and stun while being able to clear enemy stun in return for massive damage and simultaneously heal allies makes them a strong addition to any party.

Mr Peppers Antiquarian Rework by Mr.Pepper

This Rework aims to remove Antiquarian dodge cheese gimmick and instead solidify her in a support role, capable of acting like a solo healer. She mainly interacts with her own party, by curing negative effects, giving stealth, reshuffling other heroes or even buffing damage. She is also able to mess with the enemy party with shuffle and stumble, debuff or simply blights.

Since antiquarian will not be able to prevent as much dmg as she used to (through dodge buff and Acc debuff) she has been given a +5 dodge and +1 speed at every levels. This should help her to survive more easily despite having the lowest hp in the game and to outspeed her own teammates to make her support skills more valuable. Antiquarians passives have not been changed.

The Owlwing by 54NBB, Sasiji, MetalGy, RefinedTurtleFlesh, Cat

In recent days, after nightfall, there are several subdued criminals or their bodies at the entrance of the police station in town. A few frightened witnesses claim they saw a hybrid monster, both owl and human, that delivered these criminals...
A few days later, the monster found you on a fateful night - a man who said that his work coincided with your great cause, and that he was willing to join.

Owlwing is a Damage dealer used to hurting and finishing weakened or exposed enemies. He has the tools to inflict these debilitations by himself, as well as bonuses to fighting while stealthed. When out in the open, he can riposte as well.

The Esquire Class Conversion by Roderick

By popular vote, the Esquire has arrived at the Hamlet! Corrupted to his very core with the Crimson Court, he has come with an insatiable thirst for blood, and cares little as to where he gets it. With saber, smoothbore, and the monsterous form he keeps thinly veiled, he has plenty of reliable means to draw out his sustenance.

The Esquire is a highly mobile transformation class, that specializes in high damage and manipulating the enemies' movement.

The Magus by Psyberry

Hailing from a faraway City, the Magus has a strong connection to the planet. She can hear its whispers and tap into the dormant energy it provides.
Though she has a kind heart, her entanglement with the planet itself brought with it awarenessand at times corruptionas the planet itself suffered under the effect of the Heart of Darkness.

The Magus is a suitable support class with excellent diversity in the roles she can fill. As the quest goes on, she gathers more and more power with her Magna Vis ability. Keep in mind that massive/immediate healing is the only support role she may need some backup for.

Gemstars Cut: Crusader by Uncanny Gemstar

This crusader rework is intended to be a boost towards the supportive options available to crusader, as well as making him generally more flexible. While a consistent option in base game, he feels somewhat lackluster at performing offensively or supportively solely, outside of the very powerful Holy Lance. This hopes to rebalance crusaders support skills to be more useful compared to vestal, and to buff his less-used skills. Additionally, to make holy lance less powerful and more internally consistent.

Chos Hero Reworks by

This is a collection of mods in a single mod that reworks every single hero in one big mod.

The main goal of each rework has been to bring skills within a hero's skillset closer together in power. Most used skills have seen nerfs and less used skills buffs and/or entire reworks.

Some of the more notable changes include:

* Antiquarian can't find antiques at lvl 5; instead her skills and stats gain significant buffs
* Big DoT skills have had their scaling changed from ~50% dmg increase to 100%, which is more in line with how small DoTs scale (1-3 vs 4-6 in vanilla reworked to 2-4 vs 4-8)
* Some Marks now tick down at the end of a round rather than each action
* Highwayman attacks twice each round
* Abomination works like all other heroes, no more transformation

The Boatswain by Reebalt

"You cannot turn back time, but you can do your job better from here on out."

Boatswain demands the most out of his crewmates but gives twice as much in return. In spite of his harsh way of being, if you look close, you can still see sparks in the eyes of a man who went through more than anyone ever should.

Boatswain is a mobile, aggressive support class that specializes in shuffling the enemy team, making sure that the main damage dealers can deliver killing blows to the right targets.
He can also dish out damage on his own when situated in the front row as well as bolster a party's survivability via buffing and guarding.
His most powerful skills revolve around stressing the party out, thus consider bringing adequate trinkets or appropriate classes to fit his team.

The Commandant by Comrade, 54NBB, Hunting Slime

The Commandant is a veteran of a thousand battles. From the trenches to the brutal urban cities, he has seen the best and the worst that war has to offer, accumulating medals and scars to prove it. Now, empowered by war itself and with the power to shape the very blood soaked soil of the battlefield, he has come to the Hamlet, seeking rumors even greater sources of power to harness and serve his country.

The Commanant is a mid rank offensive support focusing on offense and battlefield manipulation, able to reshape the enemy positioning at a whim, wearing them down in a constant barrage of steel and gunpowder while empowering his allies through a variety of means. As a commander is more than a mere common soldier, the Commandant lacks easily accessible damage and sustain and is not suited for direct combat. However, with proper preparation and set up, he can bring the pain with a barrage of cannon shell, wiping out the enemy in one master stroke.

The Great Monster Mash Mix Up by Dies Horribly

Something is not right with the stars. Forces beyond our ken are building, causing the horrors of the Estate to grow ever more restless and dangerous. What's worse, the miasma of the Farmstead is seeping out, bringing the crystalline corruption with it! Why? Why did we have to breach that damnable seal!?

This mod is what the name implies, a monster mash mod that mixes up the vanilla enemies (including snakes and, once the Farmstead is entered, Husks) into a myriad of brand new hand-made monster parties that now populate the basic four dungeons as well as the Endless Harvest. The mashes included are tricky, stronger, and much more varied than the old faithfuls, but without straying too far from the core themes. Loading screen tips will be provided to keep you from being caught entirely off-guard.

Female Abomination Skin by Dinosaur Nerd

This is pretty simply an abomination skin that allows for equal opportunity employment
for she-beasts seeking to earn gold and glory in the darkest hamlet alongside other
brave adventurers! This does not alter gameplay in any way, and is simply artwork.

I created this to practice my own artwork and try to improve shading in particular,
though I also wanted to practice some anatomy and such. It was quite a task to try
to mimic the red hook style of artwork, and hopefully this captures the right aesthetic.

The Baron Class Conversion by Roderick

Having grown tired of the usual audience within his own court, the Baron has departed from the swarms of corrupted nobles, and arrived at the Hamlet, bringing with him his latest dramas and sadistic games.

This mod takes the Baron boss from the Crimson Court, and converts them into a fully playable hero class you can pick up from your stagecoach. The Baron is a mid-rank support that can be built to either debilitate your enemies, or provide risky, but rewarding buffs to your allies. Or a mix of both.

Wanted by no one and with no place of belonging, she wanders the land begging and stealing to survive, stumbling upon this cursed land by accident. Dont let her young age fool you, she is more dangerous than she looks.

The Orphaned Thief functions much the same as a Grave Robber, dancing back with stealth and lunging forward for massive damage. She comes equipped with a few new skills and can debuff enemies with her spectral cat.

The Corsair is an all new class mod for Darkest Dungeon. An infamous pirate warlord, the Corsair has arrived to expand her criminal empire and claim whatever riches may lie here. She is a nimble and powerful damage dealer, with a variety of exotic weapons and tactics at her disposal allowing her to inflict devastating damage and bleeds. She compensates this by being rather frail, having a relatively low HP pool. She has fully original assets, including sprites, animations, and sounds.

"The notorious Corsair is a terrifying combatant, dancing between enemy blades untouched and lashing out from the shadows. She dashes across the battlefield like a ghost, setting herself up to inflict devastating damage with her arsenal, disrupting and weakening her opponents to her deadly blows!"

"A hulking juggernaut from beyond the stars, ready to fight. The golem wields the ancient armor of a long dead hero to terrifying results, able to destroy any enemy in her path with splintering strikes and able to shake off even the mightiest of blows with her bulky armor."

The Golem is a front line self sustaining tank. Because of her strange biology the Golem is immune to diseases, has a high resistance to blight and bleed, but will receive no healing from any source other than her own abilities. This comes in form of her innate disease, that will be applied the first time Golem uses any move and cannot be gotten rid of afterwards, Metal Body.

His body might be fragile, but it is an indestructible vessel for his own soul. Over time he learned to control the same power which cursed him.

The Janissary by Snorlaxxo, Shay, Cat, terkmc, 54NBB

The Janissary is a weathered soldier who made the long trek from the southeast to aid the Hamlet. He claims he was sent by his Sultan as an act of goodwill, but is there more to his story than he lets on to? However inscrutable, we know that we will not turn down help from someone who so readily masters and shares the art of war.

Janissary can help any party from either the back- or frontline. In either position, he can play his instrument to cure stress partywide, growing stronger the more he uses it. Put in the backline, his arquebus delivers devastating attacks to the enemy back rank. His braced gun will shred through enemy armor with great accuracy, and bombs will thin the herd by debuffing and damaging their middle ranks.

In the frontline, he is a supportive tank who can deliver partywide buffs. The buffs are enhanced on guarded allies, and he can guard many allies at once while delivering a sharp counterattack.

The Mutants by bradalermann

The Mutants are heroes from a different universe, pulled to the Hamlet through Eldritch means. It's unknown how it happened; however there are rumors the Occultist left a certain totem in the Reliquary and the Caretaker unknowingly activated it when praying.

The Mutants are formidable heroes, having mastered the skills of ninjas past. They are able to maneuver the battlefield, and turn the tide in their favor. They attack from the shadows, are adept in precise attacks, and occasionally break the tension with some boisterous celebration.

"Born of an unnatural incident, raised by a talking rat, and often nicknamed after famous painters, the Mutants delivered vigilante justice to the streets of a vast, bustling city. In their universe they fought gangs, aliens, and monsters, but their greatest foe was the "Shredder," an evil warrior who led a ninja gang called the Foot Clan. It's rumored these Foot Clan have followed the Mutants, but their whereabouts are unknown."

"An unfortunately fortunate remnant of my celestial endeavors."

The unfortunately fortunate survivor of the comet. Having been on the edge of the farmstead, she was spared the full brunt of the comet's blast, but was not entirely unchanged. Her body is twisted, but her now-petrified heart stays true to the caretaking of others. Today, she is steadfast in her goal of helping our heroes now that she has no home or family to return to, and is desperate to escape the harsh memories she is sometimes trapped within.

The Babika by Uncanny Gemstar

"Too many young men go to die. I will handle this."

The Babika may be an old woman who has not seen war firsthand, but she has been hardened by a long life of loss and strife. She offers both a motherly supporting hand, and the scorn of a mother's wrath in the field. She will stand in the way of attacks, willing to endure pain herself to spare her younger allies, carries medicines and a gentle touch to soothe their pain, and can bark out battle strategies to keep the team in order thanks to her experience. On the other side, enemies are mowed down with gunfire, her outdated firearm packing both an impressive punch against armored foes and having decades of practice to hit dead on the mark. She can clear out enemies hiding in the dark with a flash of powder to suddenly reveal them, the shock of which may be quite potent. Or, if the foe be particularly unruly, she can physically reprimand them herself, delivering a smack that many a young soldier has been forced to endure.

The Anointed is a brand new class mod for Darkest Dungeon. A wildly fanatical bird man, he is religious hero who channels his devotion into respectable heals, damage, and debuffs, and has arrived at the Hamlet with the simple purpose of purging it of evil.

The Anointed comes with original artwork, sounds, and animations, and fully custom barks for reactions to the many things in and outside the dungeon!

The Stargazer by Shay, Arcapepper, JolBalrok, Adon, Cat

"The space between worlds is no place for mortal men..."

The Stargazer is an all new class mod for Darkest Dungeon. He is a frail but powerful damage dealer, an astronomer who has been touched by an unfathomable astral force, granting him abilities that can only be described as magic. By tapping into this force, he opens himself to phenomenal cosmic power, which can possess him, body and soul, tearing away at his psyche. As a result, one is never fully in control of the Stargazer's actions, and if pushed too far, he may lose control. He has fully original assets, including sprites, animations, and sounds.

"Imbued with cosmic forces beyond his comprehension, the Stargazer bends space and time to his will, flinging his enemies across the battlefield with volatile energy some would call magic. His true strength is beyond his understanding, however, and he is never fully in control of his own actions."

Dragons Duelist by dragon, 54NBB, Dismas

Inadequacy gives birth to aspiration- and desperate longing.

The Duelist is a high dodge low hp frontliner. She specializes in movement skills, debuffs, and consistent damage- and has riposte and guard to back her up. She is weak to dots and her resistances are fairly low- especially her deathblow resist.
Keep her hp high or you could lose her in an instant!

Bone Courtier Class by ooh ah, Uncanny Gemstar

With wine running as freely as blood and daggers gleaming bright in the darkness the courtier is sure to spread madness around any confrontation. With his assortment of ales and trickery the Courtier is motivated to drive out the fiends and take back what was his all too long ago, even if it means his own demise.

The courtier is a fragile back line stress healer and support hero who is also capable of dealing significant damage to most enemy ranks. Much like his hostile counterparts the Courtier thrives in the darkness, and uses this power to help his allies sustain themselves when the torch runs low.

The Bone Courtier Class Mod includes all new artwork, animations, and sound.

Here Be Monsters: The Fungal Satyr by Shay, Adon, Uncanny Gemstar

Here Be Monsters is a series of mods that will add new enemies to Darkest Dungeon. This instalment introduces the Fungal Satyr, a corrupted fungal zombie like the legions of others in the Weald. Unlike most, though, these monstrosities are nimble and deceptive, skittering madly about the battlefield and ambushing unwitting adventurers with their blighted claws. Appearing in Veteran dungeons and higher, the dreaded Satyrs will pose a new, troubling challenge for those foolish enough to wander into the Weald

The Drowned Consumer by Uncanny Gemstar

"The slithering eels of the cove have grown fat on the bodies of drowned sailors..."

This mod adds the Drowned Consumer monster to the cove, a robust foe who may prove more deadly than they first appear. With large deadly teeth and powerful jaws, and a collection of bones picked clean and gnawed viciously among its knotted coils, they may assault the tender bodies of scaleless humans and their tender minds with the horror of their grave stockpile. However, while surprisingly large-bodied, their scales are small and weak compared to the other fish-folk, making them somewhat more susceptible to the bleeding they so readily inflict on others. If one is lucky, they may leave behind their malformed fang, which is well suited to cutting into waterlogged bodies to draw blood.

"Though the pack is dispersed, mourn not for it's leader. For the spirit of the hunt never stays dead for long."

The White Vvulf is a Darkest (Lv 6.) Bossfight that takes place in the Farmstead. This boss fight will test your mettle, you will most likely not succeed on your first attempt. There is no punishment for retreating during this fight. It is highly recommend to bring a hero with a stun ability.

The Exterminator by Comrade, Snorlaxxo, 54NBB

A professional in disease control and prevention, the Exterminator was summoned to the Hamlet to take care of a seemingly mundane rat infestation, only to find that the corruption in the sewer reaches far beyond the material plane. Bounded by contract and his own code of duty, the Exterminator is here to stay until the root of the infestation has been removed and the ground cleansed of its remains.

The Exterminator is a mid rank offensive support with a niche of anti DoT and disease, being able to ward his entire team with great resistance while disrupting the enemy with a variety of debuff, disruption and stun. Though his direct damage isnt great, over time, the accumulated blight damage of his fumigator can wear down an entire team at once, and the weakened can be finished off with a stomp of gun stock.

Diseasy Does It by Dies Horribly

As it turns out, while you and your loyal band of doomed adventurers were toiling for the sake of the Hamlet, an infinitesimal evil was brewing under your feet. Pestilence and malaise have always been a perilous aspect of this hard-knock life we live, so it was only a matter of time before unfamiliar plagues from forgotten corners of the land swept through our beleaguered community.

This gameplay mod adds 1 new quirk, as well as 20 new diseases for your unfortunate heroes to catch sick with. It also enables Sky Taint to be contracted by random means. The diseases I added are intended to mesh elegantly with the ones already present, while also spicing up both the variety and the danger of encountering illness.

Vinnys Blackest Enemy Overhaul by vinnyp316, Cryptix, Chass, 54NBB, Woona

After countless cycles of bloodshed and death, the heart of the world has been corrupted beyond any sane humans wildest imaginations. The types of these creatures have morphed, planting and harvesting core components of their being. The brains of these creatures have been lobotomized and refashioned, giving them intelligence far beyond what was once had. And of most import, the flesh and soul of many of the strongest creatures on this plane have been shifted, giving them powers beyond compare, and taking away just as much. It is time for the true test of mettle, the final cycle. Welcome... to the Blackest Overhaul.

Every boss in the game has been tweaked, every enemy slid in a more interesting direction, and moves of these foul creatures have been given a tune up. The changes are so numerous it would be impossible for them to go over everything, so make sure to check the full mod page!

The Abyssinker by ZIMIK_w, Yilin

No more pain, sleep forever.

He was a night watchman guarding a lighthouse on the seashore, but overheard of a plot by anchored pirates. To silence him, the captain tied him to the deck and put him to death for questioning about what he had heard.
It was on this day that the curse of the ancestors manifested itself with unparalleled power, and the greedy pirates were eternally punished, and he, who was innocent, was also implicated.
After the shipwreck, he slept on the cold bottom of the ocean for many years. In the end, he miraculously woke up, only to become unholy like the crew around him. But unlike them, he still retained his humanity, he took what he needed from the sunken pirate ship; his cloak was the original pirate ship's sails, also took the first mate's machete and the bow light, he returned to the bay, and began to enact his own revenge.

Similarly to Vvulf, the Carnifex will wait until you have a full party ready for him once his conditions have been met, with the Apprentice version requiring Lvl 1 Heroes, the Veteran requiring Lvl 3 Heroes, and the Champion requiring Lvl 5 Heroes. Similarly to the Crimson Court introduction event, refusing to fight the Carnifex will lead to the entire Abbey closing its doors until he has been defeated.

Alexs Assortment of Accessories by Alex_anitos

Alex's Assortment of Accessories adds the 78 class-restricted trinkets from the Butcher Circus DLC into the base game but with different stats/design, obtained from more powerful brigands who wander in the 4 regions. To avoid trinket bloat, the trinkets are only dropped by the Butcher Circus brigands, who spawn only in vet/champ dungeons. Watch out!

Tyler: Thats weird, why is there an extra character?

Chris: I dont know, I was testing out the stress from the Final Boss and there appeared to be an extra file in the heroes folder.

Tyler: Just bury it deep in the files, it will be a nice easter egg for some hunters.

Lost and seeking a family, this 13-year old orphaned sailor boy is looking for a hold in this world and people he can call family. However, he is not defenseless and his terrible crab form instils respect when he feels threatened.

The Oceanborn specialises in healing with medicine and rum, as well as in defending his fellow adventurers by shielding them with his crab shell. He is a transforming class, which means that while he is in his human form he can heal his allies and mark enemies. However when the Oceanborn transforms, he becomes a huge crab and can guard his fellow adventurers with his guarding skill and damage reflection.

The Man O War by Cryptix

The Man o' War is not from these cursed lands. No, he originates from another dimension, known as the Iron Kingdoms. Brought to the Hamlet by an accursed monster known only as the Hand after it slaughtered his entire platoon, the Man o' War was possessed by a particular need for vengeance against the creature, choosing the fight alongside our forces while he seeks it out, or dies trying. Simple as his motives may be, the mighty technology he brings from his world will solely turn the tide of our war against the darkness.

Here are this weeks mods:


The Iron Buddha by Uncanny Gemstar

The Iron Buddha is an unyielding tank, able to take damage alongside the bulkiest of classes. In the front of the charge, he wields his Dao, a curved blade from his far off homelands. He can slash through enemies with ease, causing bleeding wounds that are difficult to heal, or strike to interfere with the enemies own strength. When he needs to get from the backlines, he can lunge forward and summon a swathe of plum blossom petals, distracting his foes and drawing their attention. When in the back of the ranks, he draws his shortbow and fires off shots with uncanny accuracy, having foreseen their impact in his minds eye. He can summon forth petals to manifest among gusts of wind while firing volleys, confusing the enemies and disrupting their crafted formations. Additionally he can draw forth from two sources of strength in battle, the rigid might of his solid Iron armor around him, or from his own unyielding inner might. Woe to those who face him in battle, and may their next lives be free of the pain they will experience.

The Wanderer by MrGuySenpai

The Wanderer is a glass-cannon damage dealer who excels when taking time to prepare for the perfect strike. While he has zero base crit chance on his weapon and most skills, he gains a stacking, battle-long crit bonus for each non-attack skill he uses. In exchange, upon critting his crit will be disabled for 2 turns, unless the Forbidden Technique is used. As well, his cursed blade thirsts for blood, and will heal him for 10% max HP whenever he gets a kill on an enemy

"An implacable force on the battlefield, the Blackguard relies on terrible black magic to toy with life and death, dragging his foes into an early grave.

[h3]Greetings Circus-goers![/h3]

The release of the Butchers Circus is a month behind us, so we wanted to give an update on whats coming up next for the DLC as well as details on how the Circus Seasons will play out. We are hoping to have this patch ready within the next couple of weeks, and we will have more specific dates once we have a release candidate containing all of these changes.

Season Structure

Since launch, weve been planning on adding a Season structure to the ladder to help keep the competition fresh. The next season will start when this patch is released, which we hope will be in the next week or so. Once we have a confirmed date we will announce it here again as well on social media and our discord!

Here are the specifics of how the Seasons will operate moving forward:

• Each season in the Circus will last 6 weeks. During this time, players will have the time to climb the ranks to the Darkest League. At the end of the season, participating players will unlock pieces of an exclusive banner for that season. There will be one piece per league, and a player who achieves a higher league will earn all pieces from lower leagues.
  
• After the season, each players rank will decay based on the highest achieved rank in the preceding season. For instance, a player who reached Darkest League Tier I may now be in Veteran League Tier I (the exact decay may change from season to season depending on how many players reach each tier).
  
• The season rollover will also give us an opportunity to introduce potential balancing changes in the event that the metagame needs a shakeup.
  

• New Banner
  In addition to the Season banners discussed above, we also created a new banner as a gift to
  everyone for bearing with us through all the desyncs we hit during the release window of the
  DLC.
  
• Party Builder
  A common quality of life feature requested since release was the ability to save party presets to
  make it easier to mix up your strategies and experiment with different builds. Coming in the next
  patch you can now save up to 5 predefined parties. These saved parties will retain their skill and
  equipped trinkets and can be customly named.
  
• Controller Support
  For all of those that use the gamepad to play the base game, you can now enjoy the Circus
  without having to swap back to the mouse and keyboard!
  

[h3]More arrive, foolishly seeking fortune and glory in this domain of the damned.[/h3]

Here are this weeks mods:

The Arsonist: by Nathorus, Shay, Ocean, EbonyBetty, RedDye, Golden Yak

The Arsonist is a mid-ranged damage dealer who shines best in ranks 3 and 2 that can employ various ranged and melee abilities. Although very agile the Arsonist can be a bit fragile at times, this can be neglected with the use of his support skills that prolong his life and fix his positioning. The Arsonist as his name implies, loves using fire to burn and kill his enemies. His molotov cocktails have a special and powerful actor dot that does damage to enemies after they attack in battle while his powerful incinerate skill can clear the entire battlefield but at the risk of his own safety.

Banished Hunter: by Dragonborn

A once proud Hunter now betrayed by those that once saved and employed him. With feelings of regret of what he has done, he now seeks vengeance."

Welcome to the first class in a series of class mods called Class Variety Project. Banished Hunter is a versatile melee/ranged damage dealer aimed to compliment existing classes.
Offers a set of skills and trinkets that allow many different builds so he fits well in any party. Lore wise, he has heavy ties with my upcoming enemy monster faction called The Purity Order.
As the skin suggests the faction and Banished Hunter are heavily inspired by Bloodborne.

This installment introduces the Treasurer, an elusive lowlife in the employ of the nefarious brigands that terrorize the hamlet. While not particularly threatening in combat, the rapacious Treasurer is a difficult target to apprehend, and if left long enough may even run away altogether. If defeated though, the chest he guards will produce a plethora of treasures and valuable trinkets for our estate!

Singleplayer Circus Trinkets: by Chass

A nonintrusive mod that adds all 103 Butcher's Circus trinkets to singleplayer.
Doesn't require any DLC - you don't even need to enable the Circus on your save.

- 103 "Ringmaster" rarity trinkets, painstakingly ported by hand from the Butcher's Circus, with some slight rebalancing and changing due to certain mechanics not working in PvE (for example, enemies cannot go to Death's Door and be Deathblowed).
- An additional section for the Nomad Wagon where you can purchase Ringmaster trinkets on a weekly rotation - for a hefty price!
- No "trinket bloat", as these trinkets cannot be found in battles or loot, so don't worry about the huge influx reducing the chances of getting other types of trinkets.

Other Worldly Infestation by GoblinMan IsCool, Iris Heart, and Smarmy Mormon Jesus

The thing has no name, for it needs no language. Nevertheless, those who would submit to its wordless will are rewarded, in a fashion. The creature's blessings are as repulsive as they are robust. Twisted, half human monstrosities stalk the flesh-ridden halls, protecting their gestating god.
Other Worldly Infestation (Eldritch Expansion) is a mod that plans to expand upon the eldritch visuals already in the game by adding more of it and forever putting it in a state of eldritch flash, adding new eldritch themed skins to hamlet NPCs.


https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2071538649




The Creeping Mist by Void slime

A thick fog has came in from the moor onto the estate. While Traveling the depths of the estate, be prepared to run into thick mist that you will need a torch to find your way through.

This mod adds in the mist obstacle and blood trap to all dungeons, mainly to add in variety to the standard dungeons. Alongside this, it also features brand new curios and some changes to pre-existing curio interactions as well, adding a new layer to what you might already be familiar with.

The Scarecrow by Chass

Ever wanted to play as one of the Scarecrows from the Farmstead?
...
Probably not, honestly. Here's a mod for it anyway. This mod DOES NOT require any DLC, not even Color of Madness.

The Scarecrow is a support class / damage dealer, one of the enemies from the endless Farmstead given new life as an ally. He has a wide variety of abilities allowing him to function in multiple party compositions, and is able to fulfil many roles. He comes with 4 basic palette-swap skins, and the unique ability to gain the Refracted affliction outside of the Farmstead.

The Sepulchre by Cryptix

A holy spirit trapped in runebound armor, or a mad wraith driven to consume souls? Only the ancestor knows the truth, and he's not talking. Nevertheless, armed with a hand crafted harvester scythe and the powers of death itself, the Sepulchre can weather the tides of battle with its abilities, and grows stronger over the course of a dungeon thanks to its signature ability Offering. This is the first of the Misfortunate classes, a group banded together over their shared past with a mysterious creature known only as the Hand.

Here are this weeks mods:

The Phantom by O'Nightmare! and Hooded_Lay

This class is based on the typical Rogue/Thief archetype, if they were embraced by religion. Stealth and mark play work together with shuffles as a setup for the Phantom to deliver powerful critical hits, besides him coming with his own little arsenal of tricks and the assassin's favorite: venom, from a snake's fangs to his weapons, to be used whenever you deem it fit! A concocted item which adds a damage dealing debuff, similar to blight, to all his attacks.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1445902568





The Zenith by Dem and Adon

The Zenith approaches the Hamlet with an unwavering smile on his lips. He's an acrobatic fighter who cuts with his charm and his spear. With an oath in service to the god of honor and brotherhood, the Zenith inspires calm in his allies through bravado; helping to distract them from the horrors of adventuring. When required, he can set aside his jovial attitude and manifest the power of the Golden Janissary Style. This combat style affords great flexibility powering up combination moves to prepare for a devestating final attack that strikes out against eldritch and unholy enemies with righteous fury. His dedication to being an inspiring sun for his allies comes at the cost of his durability. He is an unarmored, mobile dancer who moves through the ranks of his allies. The Zenith's hedonistic personality will neither amuse the pious nor inspire trust in people with impressionable spouses.

• Fix for the MaxPrestige achievement, it should no longer falsely trigger.
  
• Fixed - On results screen, opponent corpses use the visual variant of your heroes, not theirs which resulted in visual errors for some.
  

• Mac and Linux users should use the pretbclinuxmac Steam beta branch to avoid crashing on startup.
  

We are still working to get improvements to the connection stability for players. This hotfix hopefully addresses some of those issues but also contained 2 common softlock and crash issues we wanted to resolve for those being affected. We will have more updates in the next day or so for other issues as we work through them.

Thank you to everyone playing and reporting their issues.

Here are this weeks mods:

The Bloodclot by Uncanny Gemstar

The Bloodclot is a highly variable and self sufficient hero. From the front, he savages enemies at close range. He pierces shell, bone, and armor alike with vampiric fangs that ravage those weakened by blight and bleed. He rips and consumes his foes flesh with mutated flesh that hungers for blood to sustain himself. With the strength granted by his curse, he tears targets to pieces with his claws, heightening his frenzied ability to consume his enemies. In the back rows, he rains hell down on the battlefield, no shuffling mosquito or retreating cultist able to escape him. He lobs balls of his own cursed festering blood at foes, opening their own wounds, or sprays accumulated bile to clear his thoughts. His most dangerous ability is utilized through Litmus, drowning the enemies in the very malignancies they inflict upon him. His body is ravenous and bottomless, and can consume the suffering of his allies, curing them of their ailments while bringing out his own.

Doomsday - Miniboss Mod by Dem and Adon

Fight a terrifying new menace. Encounter Doomsday, a new monster in three new challenging dungeon encounters! If you can defeat this powerful creature, you have a chance to earn crystal shards, rare trinkets, or new quirks that may help you in your Color of Madness adventures. Will you be able to defeat him before your heroes meet their doom?

In addition to new dungeons, there is a small random chance to encounter Doomsday in the Endless Harvest Quest or in LVL 2, 3, 4, or 5 Dungeons in the Weald, Cove or Sunward Isles (Optional Mod). Random encounters do NOT occur in the Ruins, Warrens or Crimson Court. You will see a visual indicator that means there is a 25% CHANCE at the encounter in that area.

The Eucharistan by Cryptix

Once a mere priest of the abbey, the Eucharistan was inflicted with a terrible disease of the blood, uncurable by even the holy miracles of light. Downcast and questioning his faith, he found himself lost outside the Hamlet, eventually stumbling upon the courtyard. While trapped in the den of depravity and misshapen mutants, he was infected with the Crimson Curse, which interacted with his own diseased blood in a way never seen before: the Eucharistan completely rejected his own blood and replaced it with the Blood itself, becoming a living font of the valued elixir. Brought before the Countess half mad with pain, he was taught to utilize his new abilities and become the front line of a new infection vector, one wrought by faith and fury

Having lost his ship and crew to the malevolent seas by the Manor, this shantyman has washed ashore in search of vengeance. With fiddle in one hand and a bottle o' grog in the other, the Privateer aims to venture into the Darkest of Dungeons.

This all new class mod comes with 5 skins, 7 unique abilities, 3 unique camping skills, 10 class trinkets, customized effects, a town event, and much more!

The Privateer is a mid-row support and stress healer who can be played in a number of ways.
Put him in the front ranks and down some rum to make your Privateer a heavy hitting damage dealer, or throw him in the back ranks to heal stress and wounds alike!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1965654832





The Rescuer by Dem and Selafio

Educated as a military medic in the mountains, the Rescuer and his faithful Saint Bernard and Pyrenees seek to aid those in need! Trained in medical sciences, he can heal health or stress, and cure medical conditions (bleed, stun, horror, blight). Using Nitrous Oxide heals group stress, but risks stunning himself. He has a unique rejuvenating hypnosis technique that can cleanse "battle-limited" skills from a teammate. In addition, the hounds can help with attacks, counter attacks, and bleeds. The Rescuer's self sacrificing nature is also his greatest weakness: his personal health is extremely low! With the right trinkets, his healing could match a Vestal's. The Rescuer may become your faithful companion.

[h3]Take time to deliberate, but when the time for action comes, stop thinking and go in.[/h3] Napoleon Bonaparte

Greetings Hamlet Dwellers!

Today we wanted to give a glimpse into some of the mechanical changes as well as the release date for The Butchers Circus. Grab a friend or a foe and prepare yourselves because the Circus arrives at the Hamlet on May 28th.

In just a few weeks, all players who own Darkest Dungeon on Steam can join the fray! We cant be more excited to have a release on the horizon as weve been heads down deep on Darkest Dungeon 2 and Circus development and havent had the pleasure of being able to present something to our community in some time. Soon, we can welcome you inside the big tent for us all to celebrate what we think is an interesting new way to play Darkest Dungeon.

As a little preview, lets go over probably the biggest difference players will see when jumping into the ring: changes to turn order and initiative.

Normally in Darkest Dungeon, at the start of each combat round we roll all combatants initiative to establish a turn order. This initiative is the combination of the characters speed plus a die roll. We dont explicitly show who will act next because we like there to be some amount of unknown information that represents the chaos of a fight. Instead we use gold pips on the actors to show who has yet to act. However, in the Circus, it works quite a bit differently.



At the start of a match there is a coin flip, whomever wins the flip acts first. That is of course quite valuable, so the loser gets a special team-wide buff that lasts for the entire first round.

The starting player then gets to choose which hero to use first. Thats rightno initiative!

After that hero acts, play passes to the other player and they in turn get to choose a hero to act. Action continues to alternate back and forth between players in this way until all heroes have acted. Then a new round begins.



Although we are fans of some good old-fashioned RNG (as you well know), relying on the base game initiative system would introduce too much randomness into the outcome of a single PvP combat match.

This new mechanic introduces a huge new layer of decision making into combat. Do I go for immediate damage with Crusader or Leper? Or do I set up some marks with my Houndmaster or Bounty Hunter so that my Arbalest can score big kills? Should you activate the hero most vulnerable to being stunned first, even though ideally youd like to leave them for last in order to combo or do a saving heal? It creates an interesting cat and mouse dynamic for the first half of the match as you attempt to outmaneuver and activate your chosen strategy while interrupting your opponents.

Along with the initiative change, weve also made other combat changes to enhance the PvP experience, but well leave you to discover those in the Arena. Its a whole new battle out there! However, rest assured that the single player campaign and combat will continue to function as they always have.

Add The Butchers Circus to your Steams Wishlist today and be notified the minute the DLC releases on May 28th! In anticipation of the release, we also invite you to join our Discord and speculate wildly with our welcoming community!

Darkest Dungeon: Senua by Balgin Stondraeg

After what seems like an eternity lost in madness a newcomer claws her way back to reality and drags her sorry carcass into the Hamlet. While her grip on sanity is tenuous at best she draws strength from madness and she will ride that whirlwind of destruction into oblivion itself. Sometimes, if she is lucky, she'll still be standing amidst the wreckage. A solitary figure left alive to mourn for the fallen.

A Senua has entered the Hamlet. What is a Senua, you might ask? Is it related to Senuna the obscure Celtic goddess? Perhaps. Is it related to Senua from Hellbade: Senua's Sacrifice? Absolutely! She even bears the severed head of her lover on her quest into darkness but if ever there was a character suited to Darkest Dungeon then it is she. With her hallucinations and delusions she should fit right in among the other denizens of the Hamlet.

[h3]Everything that happens before Death is what counts.[/h3]
-Ray Bradbury, Something Wicked This Way Comes


Greetings Hamlet Dwellers!

The rumors are true tents are being pitched, banners raised, and the Hamlet is rife with competitive camaraderie. The Butchers Circus has arrived!

On April 2nd we announced that we will be releasing a new FREE DLC for Darkest Dungeon on Steam. This new DLC will add a whole new way to play: PvP battles against friends and foes alike!

Weve always toyed with the idea of a competitive version of our combat system, and as we began to shift production to Darkest Dungeon II, we just couldnt give up on the idea. Thanks to the success of the game, we hired a few extra hands to dedicate to this DLC while the rest of our studio continued work on Darkest Dungeon II. The results of this experiment are almost ready to unveil!

Here are a few tidbits of what to expect with The Butchers Circus DLC.

We are adding a whole new sub-hamlet screen, The Circus! You can easily switch between the Circus and Hamlet screens much like you do when going to select your next quest. Once in the Circus you can choose to challenge a friend, visit the prize booth to see what rewards are next for your progression, or enter the main tent and join the matchmaking queue to face off against other players.



The party select screen (pictured above) allows you to quickly select and kit out your party. An important note: the heroes you use to enter the ring are not the ones you have on your roster in the Hamlet. You can experiment and try out PvP parties without fearing the loss of Dismas or Reynauld as they attempt to assault the Darkest Dungeon! Going to the Circus is no risk for your campaign.

The Butchers Circus will have its own version of skills, class balances, and other various combat mechanical changes that are separate from Darkest Dungeons main campaign. Those changes do not extend into the single player game. The next blog post will cover more details on those changes weve made to create an exciting and competitive environment.

While we have you here, lets go over some Frequently Asked Questions weve seen from the community since weve announced the DLC.

Q: How much will this DLC cost?

We are giving it away for FREE, permanently.

Q: Are there in-game purchases, loot boxes, or microtransactions?

No. All rewards are gated behind player progression, pure and simple. No pay to win, no pay for visuals.

Q: Whats the catch how will you make money on this?

Thanks to the success of Darkest Dungeon, we are excited to share this with the community and we hope you enjoy it! (The Butchers Circus does require the core game to play, and DLC heroes also require the associated DLC to unlock.)

Q. What platforms/stores will this DLC be available on?

At launch we will only be on Steam, and only on Windows. We will be adding Mac and Linux support soon after. Other platforms and storefronts are TBD. Honestly, it depends a bit on the reception of the DLC!

Q. Can I use any mods or modded characters in the Butchers Circus?

No. In order for us to have any form of anti-cheat in place, that means that everything related to the PvP mode (facing other players) cannot be modded.

Q. Can I use The Flagellant or Shieldbreaker in the Butchers Circus without owning the Crimson Court or Shieldbreaker DLCs?

In order to put those characters into your party you will need to own their respective DLCs. That said you can still be matched against players who are using them, even if you dont own them yourself.

Q. Will this have any sort of anti-cheat?

Yes! The service we are using for this DLC that handles our matchmaking, analytics, and progression system will also be running our anti-cheat system. Because this service is using various analytics tools to help us we will need to update our EULA agreement to let people know about how we comply with GDPR requests.

Q. Is an internet connection required to access this DLC?

Yes. For now you will need to have a connection to the internet in order to even get access to the Circus menu screens.

Q. Will there be bots to play against?

Yes, we will have bots! If you get anxious with playing other people and want to experiment in your own time, you can play against bots. Since we require an internet connection to access the Circus menu screens, that means at launch there wont be any offline bots. This is a feature we hope to add post release.

Q. Will the hero corpses be making their way back to the main campaign?

No. The corpses are very important for this mode and we havent evaluated their impact on the main campaign. While many of our fans over the years have requested hero corpses, since we arent looking to modify the base game with this DLC we have chosen to keep them inside the DLC.

Q: Is this Delaying Darkest Dungeon 2?

Nope! The Butchers Circus staff were hired specifically to work on this, and we didnt do it at the cost of also making progress on DD2. So enjoy The Butchers Circus guilt-free. Or if you arent the PvP type, rest-assured that the sequel remains under production and we look forward to sharing more news on it when we can!

The Bloat by Kranot, Sasiji, and Kenthril

Bloated, Diseased, Disgusting, surprisingly capable and friendly. This describes the Bloat best. A fat Happy man from an unknown region of the world that carries within him every plague imaginable. But instead of being a decaying corpse some strange pagan fetish keeps him alive and well. He values Friendship, good stories and a good meal.

As the Bloat is a very cautious man who tries to not get his amulet broken he has developed a very specific fighting style. He sticks to the middle of back rows and spreads his diseased sludge through a custom slimesprayer. He also utilizes the many side effects of his myriad of diseases to his advantage to stick insects on foes or cover himself in a crust of mold. Gameplay-wise this probably translates as: Ranged off-tank blighter with some buffing thrown in.

Swine Chieftain (Here Be Monsters) by Shay, Sasiji, and anonymous_koala

Here Be Monsters is a series of mods that will add new minibosses to all 4 vanilla dungeons. This first one adds the Swine Chieftain, a rare enemy that will only appear in the Warrens. With him come a drove of marauding Swine, as well as the living battering ram of their army, the dreaded Grond. While he and his lackeys will prove an arduous challenge, the treasure and trinkets he may drop, including two rare unique trinkets not available anywhere else, will be a handsome reward for a task well performed

Joke Trinkets by Pseudonomenclature

The Jester is still pretty ticked off about being nerfed time and time again throughout the game's development, and has taken it to be some kind of cruel ironic joke. Well, now they have countered with a few Jests of their own, this time at the expense of that all-too-dreaded game balance! This is all incredibly stupid.

This mod adds 11 new very silly and dubiously balanced trinkets to the game! They can be obtained with a 10% chance as loot from CURIOS (if interacted with by a Jester) or from DEFEATING ENEMIES (if you have a Jester in your party).

The Apostate by TheHolyChicken, Anti', and anonymous_koala

"The narrow-minded fools refuse to accept that the Flame is but half the story..."

Denounced by the Church for "straying from the Light", these former Vestals now seek out those texts declared forbidden and apocryphal in their search for the Truth. Many question their morality, but none doubt their tenacity

The Apostate acts as a formidable group leader who empowers allies as their wounds mount. Despite renouncing the healing practices of the Vestal, she still has the uncanny ability to keep others from succumbing to death, albeit through very different techniques. When provoked, she is capable of unleashing power that devastates any who stand in her way.

The Windcaller by Power

The Windcaller is a Buff/Debuff focused Support Hero, built around Pushing and Pulling both friend and foe alike. With strong gusts of wind she can disrupt enemy positioning, weakening them in the process and leaving them vulnerable. Should your opponents do the same, she can simply Slingshot your heroes to the frontline, or Whisk them away To Safety in the backline. If your team can handle it, she can also grant a huge buff to Dodge, Speed, and Crit chance, at the cost of Shuffling your entire party in a Wild Whirlwind.

She works well in stationary teams with fixed positioning, able to easily reposition heroes back in their proper locations should they be shuffled or moved. But she also works wonders in teams built around dancing and moving around, taking advantage of strong buffs and offering a unique party-wide shuffle to buff up your heroes. Whether it's keeping a Leper firmly planted in the frontline with Storming Slingshot, or shuffling your Grave Robber around to spam Lunge, she's got plenty to offer to any team while avoiding overstepping onto the roles of vanilla characters.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1751539235




The Alchemist by Shay , Alexrkseth, Kenthril, Loki Laufey, and Rothag

The Alchemist is a group project mod that adds a brand new hero to Darkest Dungeon. This hero is completely custom, with all new sprites, skills, sounds, and animations, as well as a complete set of unique trinkets and color palettes.

The Alchemist specializes in draining the life from her opponents to channel into her allies, equally capable of healing or inflicting damage and debuffs. As she deals damage, so does her healing output grow stronger, making her a flexible combatant. Her unique summon abilities, the Homunculus and the Lab Rat, are capable of providing additional support via either guarding her allies or ravaging her enemies.

"The Alchemist, despite her unsettling nature and abominable appendage, finds herself often saving the lives of her comrades. Her research and many experiments have rewarded her with great restorative abilities that can be further empowered through offensive action. In addition, she is accompanied by her lab-grown assistants that fiercely protect her, and whoever she calls an ally."

The Rightful Heiress by kaxen

Disgusted by the line of suitors claiming to be an improvement to her station in life, the Heiress returned to the cursed family estate with a fire for battle despite her own inexperience. Fortified by wine, she seeks to wade into the nightmare despite the hopelessness of the undertaking.

Heiress is a more offensive version of The Rightful Heir, boasting decent damage and mark proficiency, with few support abilities, while still having a signature ability of heir to collect and store more heirlooms while in a dungeon. Heirloom bonuses increase with the amount of heiresses in the party, and does not conflict with heir's ability, if you run both of them in same party.

The Clobber by anonymous_koala and Sasiji

Clobber is the Weald's guardian, who after years of watching his home be corrupted by the Hag's fungus, brigands, bloodsuckers and pretty much every enemy faction in the game at this point, decided he had enough and is ready to CRUSH the evildoers. Other things included in this mod are 12 new trinkets, a new district, a custom town event, and a new mechanic: chaining together rapid punches until Clobber is exhausted, through his "Punchout" skill!

Bits and Pieces; A Monster Trinket Mod by Power

This is a trinket mod called Bits & Pieces, which adds in a whole bunch of rare unique trinkets to a bunch of different enemies, with the trinkets they drop mimicking the stats/abilities/flavor of whatever enemy dropped them. Adds in 28 trinkets so far to 25 enemies, and I'm still planning on adding more trinkets to it, along with doing trinkets for DLC enemies as well later on.

Abyssal Horror Miniboss by Slightly_Seal and Dismas

The Abyssal Horror Miniboss mod is a roaming miniboss that can appear in champion(lv. 5) Cove quests.

There's a town event that occurs once the player has 4 lv 5 heroes and is past week 12. This town event triggers a medium length plot quest in the cove that has a guaranteed encounter with the Abyssal Horror. After completing this quest, the Abyssal Horror has an 8% chance to appear at any champion Cove quest.

A mod army that is!

One of our Discord server moderators presented to us a fun idea to showcase some mods each week on our server. We agreed and decided to take it one step further and share them here as well. The main purpose is to put (usually) lesser known or new mods of all and every kind up on showcase for people to see.

Here are last weeks and this weeks mods:

Steam Build #24353
This update contains some significant changes to Endless Harvest brought about by feedback and observation.

It’s important to us that Endless Harvest is an exciting, tense experience. Some of the balance and structure in the first deployment make it possible to advance through what we consider an excessive amount of kills (1000+!) which results in a drawn out experience lacking some of the tension and excitement that we feel is vital. These changes have been made to try to keep the experience “punchy”, while still retaining that incentive and challenge of bettering your kill counts...without requiring a dozen or more hours for a single deep run. We hope that you find them to be good changes for the long term health of the mode, just as we do!

Introducing Color of Madness Endgame Conditions!

• Once you have progressed beyond 200 Kills, the shimmering space-time of the corrupted Farmstead takes on an endgame condition, called a “Reflection.” These are mutators that increase the difficulty of the quest in different ways from that point onward.
  
• Unbearable Reflection:
  
  
  
  • Heroes: +33% Stress Dmg Received
    
  • Heroes: -33% Stress Heal
    
  • Monsters: +4 SPD
  
  
• Reflection of Decay:
  
  
  
  • Heroes: -50% Healing
    
  • Monsters: +15% PROT
    
  • Monsters: +25% Stun Resist
    
  • Monsters: +25% Debuff Resist
  
  
• Sanguine Reflection:
  
  
  
  • Heroes: -8% Deathblow Resist
    
  • Monsters: +7.5% Crit
    
  • Monsters: +3 SPD
  
  
• Reflection Obscura:
  
  
  
  • Heroes: -20% Stress Damage Received (a boon!)
    
  • Heroes: -20% Healing
    
  • Monsters: +10% PROT
    
  • Monsters: +25% Damage
  
  

• Japanese Localization added for Darkest Dungeon, The Crimson Court, and The Shieldbreaker. (The Color of Madness is coming).
  
• SOME SAY THAT CRITSMAS WENT TOO FAR. (Critsmas was when we increased crit %s AND added the OnCrit Buffs for each hero.) They are basically right. We have tweaked a number of crit values (skills, trinkets) down a bit to account for those OnCrit Buffs that were a late addition. Crits are still net+ from pre-Color of Madness release.
  
• Total Scouting chance can now be seen as a tooltip on the Quest Provision screen.
  
• Shambler loot increased
  
• Champion Bone Courtiers should drop their special Chalice more often now
  
• Moved Laudanum glossary entry to base game (from CC)
  
• Fix to crash when killing siren with controlled hero with reflect damage.
  
• Swinetaur brain improvements: hooked PIG SPEAR back up (it went missing!) and improved logic of Trot Retreat
  
• Added buff/debuff+ icons to quest length duration buffs/debuffs.
  
• Fix to double riposte overriding corpse crit clear.
  
• Fix to centered icons swapping sides.

• reworded Help strings referencing Retreat Flag to say "Retreat Icon (which looks like an "X")"
  
• Fix for quest generation that was creating too many quests in individual dungeons
  
• Town buffs and debuffs now use the new Buff+ and Debuff+ icons.
  
• Add ability to modify combat speed in the rules file.
  
• Fix to removing mortality debuff camping skills and the has had heart attack flag cleared.
  
• Riposte now won't trigger attack additional effects.
  
• Game now saves every time you sell a trinket.
  
• Fix to dead hero save load exploit.
  
• Fix to heart attack save load exploit.
  
• Mini-map will no longer auto center when scouting if you have the map_follow_party option set to off.
  
• Adjusted Torch Tooltip zones to account for when there is a light meter or not.
  
• Fixing loading issue where some spine_fx were missing (blood_splatter specifically)
  
• Fixing loading issue where some spine_fx were missing (blood_splatter specifically)
  
• Fix to swinatuar brains and trot retreat fixes.
  
• Fix to journal crash if you uninstall dlc.

• Fixes spawn monster effect rendering in front of summoner during summon.
  
• Fixed retreat raid button from popping up during teleport
  
• Updated localization

• Adjusted Infestation - Players have consistently reported some dissatisfaction around the number of Bloodsucker spawns in dungeons during periods of High Infestation. In order to better preserve each dungeon’s identity, High Infestation has had the following adjustments:
  
  
  
  • Overall amount of hallway Bloodsucker encounters reduced, so as to not overwhelm a dungeon’s native population.
    
  • Egg Sac curios appear at High Infestation, allowing players an opportunity to opt-in to a Bloodsucker fight and farm Blood and Invitations.
  
  
• Fixed a typo on CC Bleed Res Debuff 5 (ie. Champion monsters will now correctly apply bleed resistance debuffs to some of their attacks.)
  
• Fix to countess not showing skill names on transforms

• We have been concerned to see feedback that some players believe the Shieldbreaker flashback battles are never-ending and therefore the SB isn’t given as much value as she deserves. We’ve implemented a few things to help communicate that there are only 7 flashbacks and they only need passed once. (Not once per recruited SB.)
  
• Added a tutorial for flashbacks.
  
• Flashbacks now have a 50% chance of happening on a given quest.
  
• The Shieldbreaker will now bark to warn the player of an impending nightmare before resting.
  
• Once the 7 flashbacks have been completed, all Shieldbreakers get a free restful sleep buff each time they camp!

• Fix to being able to retreat from a flashback.
  
• Fix to immediately switching to room after not ambush camp and be visible sitting.

• Reflections (see above)

• Remove plot quest required quirk heroes (shard recruits) from being calculated in hero level requirement for town events (vulf).
  
• Added refreshing of skills in curio rooms
  
• Abomination has an exception for his transformation
  
• Shard dust refreshes skills when used
  
• Remove roster limit quirk heroes ( shard recruits ) from being included in goals.
  
• Adding colour_grades to monster art files. In particular Galaxy and Spire.
  
• Geologic Study hall should no longer increase stacking of Tapestries and Antiquarian treasures
  
• Fix to torch settings persisting after death in time and space.
  
• Added Kill Count to Wave UI
  
• Lowered Thing roaming icon on quest select screen to reduce overlap on 4th position quest icons above it
  
• FIXED bug where once you've finished endless, game would reroll quests everytime you start it
  
• Remove map references from help menu in wave raid.
  
• Remove quest modifier buffs when you die and go to time and space.

• Fixed bug w/ crystal overlays
  
• Sleeper's caretaker goal should now function correctly
  
• Increased Crystal Aberrations stun resist 400 from 200 (This is to prevent it from surviving until wave reinforcement, resulting in bugs)
  
• Fixed and issue around reloading a save during a turn where multiple Crystal Aberrations self-destructed resulting in one of the crystal surviving and causing an assert with wave reinforcements.

• You can disable new Virtue loss at high stress and return to legacy system through an entry in Rules.json ("virtue_can_lose_from_stress" : false)
  
• Added tag based quirk evolution duration buff.
  
• Added a cure disease effect
  
• Add variable to disable buff description.
  
• Ability to have additional mashes based on quirk tags
  
• Fix to mod support bug where hp dot duration percent mods where not being applied.
  
• Added ability for multi target effects to have individual rolls on targets

• Corrected some Korean Localization bugs
  
• Added missing strings for all languages
  

With this build we added the new Korean Localization provided by BADA Games. This new localization has replaced the old Korean and is selectable by choosing Korean (한국어) in the language select. Korean B or 한국어 (B) is the old localization which is still being re-worked by the original translator firm.

Thank you for your patience while we corrected the localization, and we hope you enjoy the new version.

Greetings Hamlet Dwellers!

We have been delivered the second Korean translation, done by BADA Games, who created the original fan translation.

We are currently working on getting it implemented. Part of that work is a new font that was voted on from a poll BADA circulated to players. We hope this new font will be more legible and more to your liking.

Once we have this translation hooked up we will post again on how to access it before it gets pushed live. Both BADA and us would like to hear your feedback on the quality of the new translation.

We still have the original translation being revised as well, and we plan to provide that as an alternate once it's ready.

다키스트 던전 유저들에게 :



오늘 한국의 현지화 개선에 대한 계획에 관해 업데이트되었습니다. 여러분 중 많은 분들과 마찬가지로, 우리는 번역이 내부적으로 우리가 설정 한 고품질 목표에 부합하지 않는다는 사실을 듣고 극도로 좌절하고 실망했습니다. 우리는 또한 한국 플레이어들이 원래 의도했던 것보다 훨씬 오래 번역을 기다리고 있음을 인정합니다.

이 권리를 달성하는것은 우리에게 우선 순위입니다.

우리의 계획은 다음과 같습니다.

우리는 사용 된 현지화 회사에 연락했으며 추가적인 자원과 감독을했습니다. 기존 현지화는 관리 할 수있는 한 빨리 개선 될 것이며, 업데이트 된 버전이 출시되면 귀하의 의견을 환영 할 것입니다. 아직 현지화 업체로부터 예상 대기 시간 를받을 수는 없지만 이러한 상황이 급박하다는 점에 깊은 인상을 받았습니다.
우리는 두 번째 현지화 회사와 계약을 맺고 게임의 개별화 된 완벽한 현지화를 진행하기 위해 녹색 조명을 제공했습니다. 이 두 번째 팀의 구성원은 원래의 팬 번역을 ​​만드는 데 관여했으며 커뮤니티는 그 번역이 상당히 훌륭했다고 생각합니다. 그들은 우리에게 약 2 주 정도의 견적을주었습니다.
게임 내 한국어 현지화를 모두 구현할 계획이며 궁극적으로 어느 번역이 게임에 적합한 지 선택할 수 있도록 사용자 의견을 환영합니다.

레드 훅 (Red Hook)에서는 개발 노력을 고도로 연마하려고 노력합니다. 우리는 이러한 철학에 맞춰 한국의 현지화를 계속하기 위해 노력할 것입니다. 동시에 두 가지 번역 작업을 통해 가능한 한 빨리 훌륭한 한국어 경험을 얻을 수있는 최고의 기회를 드리겠습니다.



Dear Darkest Dungeon players:

Today we have an update for you regarding our plans to tackle the Korean localization improvements. Like many of you, we were extremely frustrated and disappointed to hear that the translation was not up to the high quality bar that we set for ourselves internally. We also acknowledge that we kept Korean players waiting for the translation much longer than we originally intended.

Making this right is a priority for us.

Here’s our plan:

• More Activity Log fixes
  
• Fix to save crash in endless wave
  
• Nomad Wagon and Stagecoach crashes
  

Steam build 23886
Darkest Dungeon

• Fixed a crash and issues around using the Default Party Order button
  
• Attempting a fix for the issue with Campaign Activity Log’s resetting or losing weeks.
  
• FIxed an Error around Missing Mashes

Dear Darkest Dungeon players:

Alongside today's large core game update and DLC launch, we also released Korean language translation. This was long overdue and we were very excited to do it.

We are getting immediate feedback that the translation quality is not good, and we can understand how this is disappointing. It's disappointing for us to hear, too!

We paid for professional translation, so we were not expecting this problem.

We are committed to improving the quality of the Korean translation, and are beginning our investigation into how to do that. (Apologies, none of us in the team are Korean speakers.)

We hope that our Korean fans will understand that we hear your feedback and we are taking steps to improve the translation.

In the meantime, if you have specific comments about which areas are problematic, please email us at feedback at redhookgames dot com. That would help us fix it.

Our sincere apologies,

--Red Hook Studios

Darkest Dungeon started out as an Early Access game with frequent updates, but has since gone on to have a number of free updates throughout its life as a “Finished Game.” We are pleased to announce that we are deploying a large balance update to the core game on Tuesday June 19th, to coincide with release of the new Color of Madness DLC.

Over the last couple months, we’ve taken a comprehensive look through all classes in the game since it had been some time since we previously did so. Related to that, we also wanted to assess combat as a whole and see if there were any general balance adjustments we could make to improve the game.

In making these changes, we consulted extensively with members of the Darkest Dungeon player community, and ultimately went through over three complete rounds of changes, complete with playtesting and fierce debates. Special thanks to Marvin Seo and Clair de Lune for their assistance with this update, in particular with class and trinket adjustments. They were the source of many ideas, and also provided endless enthusiasm for stress testing (har har) the changes themselves.

Clair was also instrumental in compiling the final changelist, by referencing things against the live game. Thanks for saving me some work!

It’s the nature of the beast that not all changes will be loved by all players. We know that, on occasion, something you love might be altered in a way you don’t like

The working philosophy for this giant balance update was that we wanted to shore up *weak* classes/skills/trinkets more than we wanted to nerf strong ones. Yes, there are some nerfs, but I think you’ll find that those changes are much less frequent than buffs. Where possible, we tried to correct dominant strategies by providing alternatives that are similarly exciting.

We are pleased to roll these changes out and hope that each of you find the majority of them to be exciting and welcome!

THE MUSKETEER!
First, a bonus! As many of you know, we created a Musketeer class (a mirror skin of Arbalest), and this class was a Kickstarter exclusive for two years. We’ve decided to now release the Musketeer for free to all owners of the game. It’s a “FreeLC”, meaning you just have to download the DLC and add it to the game.

On Steam, you can get it here starting June 19th:

The Shieldbreaker DLC - Now Available!
Hailing from the distant windswept dunes of the east, the Shieldbreaker arrives in the Hamlet! Deadly as a viper, her iron will has been forged in the heat of the blazing desert sun. Though outwardly demure, her emancipation from the barren wastes came at a price so terrible, it haunts her dreams even now...

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 hero with solid damage dealing capability, 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 shield.

Darkest Dungeon

Greetings Hamlet Dwellers!



The Darkest Dungeon Diorama that was promised as a backer reward is now for sale for anyone to purchase on Fangamer while supplies last.

The Diorama was manufactured by Panda Game Manufacturing, costs $25 USD and has over 40 figures and 4 background vignettes. This edition contains Vvulf and his Raiders, which will be exclusive to this printing only!

This set contains the following character classes: Crusader (Zealous Accusation pose), Plague Doctor, Highwayman (Point Blank Shot pose), Vestal, Grave Robber, Hellion, Occultist, Leper.

For our first run we selected the iconic Ruins as the dungeon location featured in the backgrounds and for the monster tokens selected. From Bone Rabble all the way to fiendish Bone Bearer, all the skeleton monsters are represented with at least 1 token. The Necromancer and Shambler are also contained in this set. We also included a handful of curios to help spice up your scenes, including a looted adventurer's pack (damn you Reynauld!).

Want more information on Fangamer's shipping policies as well as question about international shipping? Find those here on Fangamerr's Website.

We are excited to have these finally out for sale as they've been a real treat to work on. We hope they do well and if they do we will consider doing a second run focusing on the other dungeon regions and the other heroes and poses.

If any of you have already received your copy from your Kickstarter pledge or purchased a copy from Fangamer we'd love for you to share your set up with us on twitter/facebook!

Fixed stun surprise softlock

• Fix to curio staying in the background bug.
  
• Rolled back Russian Translations.
  

We're excited to announce that today we've added full Chinese translation (simplified) into the game. This has been something we've been working on for a couple of months. Red Hook is excited to continue to bring DD to new audiences. We hope you enjoy it!

This translation includes many contributions from the Chinese community, and we are grateful for your support and efforts to improve the game!

We've also added some community improvements to Russian and French translations as well.

Over the course of Darkest Dungeon's lifetime, members of the community have stepped in to help us improve the quality of the game's translation and it's something we continue to be grateful for! However, there is always work to be done as we have continued to add content to the game and there are other languages yet to be supported.

In this effort we've been working to make it easier for community members to contribute to the game's translation. With the help from Unknown Worlds (makers of Subnautica) we have a website tool that makes it easier for you to help contribute and improve the games translation, as well as begin supporting new languages.

Anyone can go to this website and make an account and begin submitting improved translations to then be approved by moderators of each respective language. If you want us to add a new language for the community to start contributing to let us know and we will open up a new language to begin being translated. As an example it was through the help of the community and this web tool that 90% of Simplified Chinese was translated. We would love to support other often requested languages like Korean/Turkish and we are asking for your help as every time we've turned to the community the quality and translation is unparalleled as our players understand the tone and themes of the game better than anyone else.

As always, we'll be keeping an eye on any feedback and bugs.

Build #20340

Here is an update about Crimson Court and some related topics, including progress towards supporting Chinese and Korean languages in the game.

Crimson Court: 175,000 Copies and Counting

Thank you for supporting Darkest Dungeon!

Last night, overzealous gremlins took a large foam bat to Jingles the Jester, leaving him dazed, reeling, and about to break.

Today, after great popular demand, Jingles is able to once again bring down the house with a rousing Finale (though still not as earth shatteringly-quickly as he could during his popular setlist from two+ days ago).

Finale:
--Base damage bonus: 50%
--Crit chance restored (though still lower than previous incarnations)


Notes from the Jester's roadies:
1) As stated in yesterday's patch notes, we still intend Finale to be a powerful skill--but one that will take some effort and tactics to set up. We will continue monitoring and tuning as necessary. Our design philosophy for every hero is that there should be circumstances where that hero is extremely valuable. One of the most interesting comments we've seen about the Finale nerf (and wholeheartedly agree with) is that if a single skill nerf seems to ruin the overall utility of a hero, then that can be less of an indicator of that skill being flawed and maybe more of an indicator that the rest of his moveset is lacking.

2) The tuning of one skill should not be interpreted as indifference towards any other tuning adjustments that could or should be made. Sometimes it's more convenient and relevant to touch parts of the game that are tangential to other tasks going on. Right now, generally our focus is on fixing up remaining Crimson Court bugs but Finale was something we felt needed a more interesting setup.

Darkest Dungeon

• Increased max available Quests by 1: more choices!
  
• First pass on tuning curio interaction delays, bark times, and other stuff to help speed up delays.
  
• Shrieker steal event will now only happen after week 40 and will only happen once per campaign.
  
• Jester’s Finale Skill Redesign (and Related)
  
  
  
  • Finale was too effective at one-shotting mobs without any real downside or lasting cost. Skill has been redesigned to preserve the intent as a powerful big mob finisher, which takes time and setup to achieve maximum power.
    
  • Finale
    
    
    
    • Battle limit of 1
      
    • Finale cannot crit
      
    • Finale accuracy increased greatly
      
    • Dramatically reduced base damage.
      
    • Finale leaves a 12 round DEF debuff, to represent exhaustion.
      
    • Other jester moves (“Dirk Stab”, “Inspiring Tune”, “Battle Ballad”) give a 7 round +20% stackable damage buff to Finale.
      
    
    
  • Solo
    
    
    
    • Accuracy increased
      
    • Battle Limit 2
      
    • Gives a 7 round +50% stackable damage buff to Finale.
      
    
    
  • NOTE: we want Finale to still feel awesome and vital, but it was wrecking the balance. We’ll be monitoring feedback on this redesign and will tune more if necessary to ensure it’s a valuable skill...but not toooooo valuable.
    
  
  
• Puppet Theatre cost increased and damage bonus decreased
  
• Reducing new Buff/Debuff Narration VO to be much more rare.
  
• Fixed Monster attacks that could give incompatible quirks and crash the game.
  
• Fixed Quirks being able to evolve while you are treating them.
