I wish I liked this game more. Everything about the visuals, sounds and music are a step above the original. The biggest flaws relate to the dumbing down of the gameplay, and the shift from a large-scale campaign to a run-based roguelite with some meta-progression smattered in there.

They somehow have fewer characters than base Darkest Dungeon and they are sorely missed (backline always feels like it's missing something). They only released 2 new characters (1 from the most recent DLC) overall with several fan favorites still MIA.

I definitely had more fun than I expected, but It's definitely a miss for me... Catch it on sale, because I don't feel it's worth $40 AT ALL.
