All those diseases, negative quirks, and mental illnesses are there specifically to make you work harder and curse bad luck. The game is balanced specifically so that it's hard, but not unbeatable. The difficulty is actually a main selling point of Darkest Dungeonwhich is often described as a 2D Souls -like game, precisely for its steep difficulty curve. Before diving into mods to make the game easier, be sure to also check out our guides on how to get through the base game. Keep checking back on them though, as these modders have been giving regular updates and will likely have full release versions working soon.
With all of these mods listed below, it's probably best to start a new game, as any of them have the possibility to break your current save.Ī few of these particularly the new classes were made for early access builds and haven't been updated yet for the full release - they will work, but have issues. Don't worry - there are even more ichthyic and porcine horrors to be found than developer Red Hook ever intended! The game may be freshly released, but the months of early access availability means there's already a steady supply of mods available to tweak your experience.
