And, yes, it will not always be entirely your fault. And yes, you will likely a lose a lot of units. But how does Darkest Dungeon run on the Switch, and how does it compare to the other consoles? Before heading any further, it is worth a warning to those that have never played: Yes, the game can be difficult. This was, of course, known with its releases on PC and other consoles.

The game itself is fun, with extremely high replayability due to the randomized nature of the game. This Darkest Dungeon is a very good game.

… Expandĭarkest Dungeon is a very good game. If you persist and learn from your failings you might have an awesome time with this like I did! This is easily one of my favourite games this year - I love spending time questing through this game-world and managing my party (and I am certainly not a 'hard core' RPG player). Initially this game seemed really brutal and unforgiving, but the learning curve is pretty fast and there is a glossary in the options and pop-up explanations of everything in-game. I am 25 hours in now, but I'm still encountering new monster types and quest types and there is still much more I want to accomplish and experiment with. The key to success is in making small, incremental gains each quest - earn a bit more money than you spent, level up a couple of characters a bit, make optimal use of that new item you just found. The game has some really cool mechanics (item and torch management, stress recovery management between quests) but the combat and exploration itself is not too complex. There are lots of customisation options and so many combinations to experiment with when setting up your party (I think there are 14 different character types to recruit and all play quite differently). I love the fact you can play it in short bursts and every time you set out on a quest you chose what you feel like doing from 8 or 9 alternatives that vary in difficulty and length. I love this game! It has a really atmospheric grim and 'gritty' feel thanks to the lovely hand-drawn graphics, creepy music and gruff I love this game! It has a really atmospheric grim and 'gritty' feel thanks to the lovely hand-drawn graphics, creepy music and gruff narration throughout.
