Picked this up on steam during their summer sale.
It's a turn-based strategy game of eldritch horror. You put multiple groups of 4 people together and run them through "dungeons", learning secrets about your "ancestor" in the process.

It's a pretty brutal/unforgiving game, but feels pretty fun to me. I certainly haven't mastered it, but am curious if any other TD folks are playing this, and what their group comps/strats are.

Ps. Use the antiquarian for gold!

new dlc came out recently and was watching it get played.

Watched the Head Boss get killed, was a very weird ending.

i usually make it to week 30 or 40 before getting reamed by not knowing the mechanics of a boss fight and losing 2-3 of my favorite heroes. pretty much have to google every big fight and learn who to take or youre screwed even on easy mode.

if youre a glutton for punishment try red hook's other game, dead in bermuda. its even harsher. youre basically guaranteed to die youre just trying to see how long you cam drag it out.

Yeah, I make it to the level 5 dungeons, then bad things start happening. I feel I made it reasonably far in the first "darkest dungeon", then got absolutely wrecked by a boss that I couldn't figure out the mechanics on.

Now am rebuilding....

I'll try dead in bermuda, though I'm awful at all these games.

I stuck this campaign out and im on week 60, Im working on maxing my barracks , I have over 20 guys all lvl 5 or 6. It actually just gave me the option to revive one of my 3 dead guys and I passed because everyone on roster is better. just doing easy mediums to stack cash and max out my roster. Ive never used an antiquarian.

I use a lot of occultists pos 3 and arbalest pos 4. mix up bounty hunter, leper, grave robber, hellion in pos 1-2. some bosses require man at arms or more DOT so i keep a couple plague doctors for more blight and jesters for bleed spamming.

using occultists mark hex with an arbalest and bounty hunter in party is pretty OP, i rarely use vestal because the single target heal from occ is better.
