Retreating does incur the expected stress penalty, however, the progress is saved, meaning your heroes don’t have to constantly plough through the same rooms over and over again. Given their length, the game is very forward in letting you know that you’re not expected to finish them in one go. Departing from most of the game’s levels, the Courtyard comes with longer, hand-crafted levels. This naturally extends to the Courtyard, which acts as a new area. Thus, in terms of art, The Crimson Court is a great addition to what the base game has to offer. It’s worth mentioning that Wayne June returns to voice some nifty cutscenes and a handful of new interactions. It won’t be long until you’ll start despising mosquitoes even more and, as for the new bosses, they’re a great mixture of alluring and appalling. Instead of being predictable, the new monsters represent quite a unique, successful spin on what could have otherwise been some more of Dracula’s boring cousins. The DLC does center around blood and those who would suck, or otherwise consume it.
Now, the past years have made me be skeptical whenever I see something remotely vampiric being added to my media of choice. Stylistically, the Crimson Court takes a slightly different approach, however, without falling out of the game’s general aesthetic. As of last week, the game has received its first DLC, in the form of The Crimson Court, giving dungeon delvers more reasons to go back and have an absolutely wonderful and relaxing time pull what little hair remained out. Red Hook Studios have kept busy with various updates, the most significant of which is, perhaps, the addition of the shorter Radiant Mode.
In between its excellently dreary atmosphere and great class design, there are many more things that contributed to Darkest Dungeon being one of our best games of 2016. Making my way towards the Darkest Dungeon saw many of my characters go insane, maim themselves to death or get obliterated by the countless horrors that paved the way.
