Darkest Dungeon 2 Gets Free Kingdoms Update, Turning It into a Roguelike Strategy Board Game
-
Darkest Dungeon 2's free Kingdoms update turns the game into a turn-based strategy boardgame where you defend a world map.
-
You shuffle 8 heroes between inns, which are under siege, and send parties out to complete quests and track down bosses.
-
Battles play out as in Darkest Dungeon 2, with permanent death for fallen heroes. Lose all heroes or inns and it's game over.
-
There are 3 enemy factions - the Coven, Beastmen, and Crimson Courtiers. You can fight them separately or together.
-
The update aims to balance the hero roster management from DD1 with the party commitment of DD2.
