So, we are planning an alternative game mode (RADIANT), which will have balance changes and rule tweaks aimed at bringing the completion time down to approximately 40 hours.
While a portion of this endurance test is simply Darkest Dungeon as we intend it, we also would love for more players to be able to see the story through. Game length also exacerbates some of the grindier elements of the game's design. "One of the most common critiques of the game is that the significant length to completion (approximately 80+ hrs on average, though this varies widely) can lead to some players abandoning their campaigns, especially after a particularly nasty party-wipe with a valuable trinket loadout. Here's Red Hook to explain what Radiant is and why:
The shorter 'Radiant' mode will be added in a future update. Lovely! All this plus details on yesterday's patch (controller support!) below. They've also revealed a smidgen more of its upcoming vampiric DLC, The Crimson Court, by showing off the grizzled vampire hunter who may well come after your party.
So, good news: developers Red Hook Studios have announced plans for a mode which won't necessarily be easier but will cut the game's length down from 80-ish hours to around 40. Darkest Dungeon is the year's best dungeon crawler, sez we, but I must confess I find it a bit of a grind at times.
