The martial subtitle “Sever the weakened limb; the protected foe. ”, also indicates that the new class is particularly suitable against heavily armored, defensive opponents.
The graphic shows a huge queue in the background that Indiana Jones would probably run away from immediately. Whether this is a new type of enemy or perhaps indicates gun poisons or the like is pure speculation.
Darkest Dungeon - The Game
Darkest Dungeon is a turn-based role-playing game with graphics and design in a Gothic style. The fights and dungeon explorations are challenging and present a lot of dangers. Unlike in most role-playing games, your characters suffer from psychological stress and encounters with monsters and demons. An excursion to the dungeons under your inherited castle has to be broken off earlier because your troop crouches in the corner and doesn't take another step.
After such an experience, you have to give your team better ideas in the tavern or sanatorium before they are operational again.
In June appeared with "Crimson Court“The first expansion for Darkest Dungeon, alongside the new one Flagellant Class also offered many other innovations:
- The courtyard: the new dungeon region
- A full faction of new deadly enemies
- 5 new bosses with some of the most complex and devious mechanics yet
- A new wandering boss: the fanatic
- Districts: 10 new buildings to improve your village
- Huge, sprawling maps with locked doors, rooms with prisoners, and progress saves
- Accessory sets to match the background story of all heroes with set bonuses
In addition, the game was adapted to the new class and better balanced. According to the fan base, it now offers a significantly more consistent and fluid gaming experience.
The announcement of the Shieldbreaker, be it a new class or an expansion, has definitely caused a stir and leaves fans waiting for more details to come soon.
