About this game

The Ancestral Edition includes the Darkest Dungeon core game plus the following content packs: The Crimson Court, The Shieldbreaker and The Color of Madness.

Darkest Dungeon is a challenging gothic roguelike turn-based RPG about the psychological stresses of adventuring. Recruit, train, and lead a team of flawed heroes against unimaginable horrors, stress, disease, and the ever-encroaching dark. Can you keep your heroes together when all hope is lost?

The player inherits a gothic estate from an Ancestor who, in his pursuit of ambiguous ambitions, excavated the dungeons beneath his manor and unleashed terrible creatures upon the surrounding lands. Now the new owner must recruit adventurers and mount expeditions into the corrupted grounds to cleanse them. As the player explores deeper, they uncover their Ancestor's memoirs detailing the horrible deeds he committed in pursuit of knowledge and power. The path leads eventually to the Darkest Dungeon itself, the source of all the corruption, where something ancient and world-ending stirs beneath the surface.
