Such a baffling game. You can really feel how much effort and care they put into the game, only for it to crash and burn so spectacularly. I may have developed some sort of post-irony Stockholm Syndrome with this game because I have such a fondness for it.
I love all the embarrassing monologues, the out-of-place scenes and head-scratching plot points and by god are there a lot of them.
Major props to the devs for actually going back to try and improve their story and gameplay. Hopefully 1.V is worth checking out.

I got it in my head as a kid that Age of Empires always make campaigns based on real historical events, so when I was in 3rd grade I told my teacher in front of the entire class that knights from Malta found the fountain of youth because of this game. They called my parents.

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.
