Darkest Dungeons 2 fans will be happy to hear that Red Hook Studios is bringing back a fan-favorite character in its latest update. Darkest Dungeons 2 is the sequel to the iconic cult classic gothic roguelike video game, Darkest Dungeons, and is currently in Early Access while still getting constantly updated with new content.
Darkest Dungeon 2 is an incredibly immersive and atmospheric turn-based game that offers a unique and challenging gameplay experience. It has captured the hearts of many gamers with its beautiful art style, haunting soundtrack, and complex gameplay mechanics. Additionally, it challenges players to use strategic thinking and come up with original methods to get past its merciless obstacles, making it a highly rewarding experience for those who persevere. Players must form a party of unforgettable heroes in order to survive and navigate through a decaying and dying world. The game features many significant gameplay changes from its prequel. One such important addition is the brand-new Affinity System, which causes relationships between characters to develop or decline throughout their gruesome adventures.
Red Hook Studios posted a short YouTube video in which it presents its newest addition to the game, The Vestal, a pious sister of battle. The Vestal most recent update called Suffer No Sin and is available today on the Epic Games Store. The update brings the total number of playable characters up to eleven.
Unlike in the previous game, The Vestal has become a much more flexible character. The warrior nun is no longer limited to being just a healer who occasionally provides offensive support to the party. She now plays as a healer-tank hybrid, who is also capable of inflicting serious damage to the farthest opponents. The Vestal's healing abilities are directly tied to her Conviction ability. As her Conviction grows, she will be able to smash her opponents to pieces with her destructive holy power. Players will be able to acquire her full set of skills by visiting the Shrines of Reflection and learning her backstory.
The religious warrior can be considered a welcome addition to the game as some gamers criticized Darkest Dungeon 2’s short number of characters, as it had only 10, in contrast to the original Darkest Dungeon's 18 classes. Other criticisms involved the short length of the campaign and the lack of replayability. However, it seems like Red Hook Studios is devoted to improving the game with its frequent content updates.
Darkest Dungeon 2 is currently in Early Access and is slated to release on Epic Games Store and Steam on May 8.
