"The bounty hunter was one of our first 'aha' moments working on this game," said Bourassa. I talked with game designer Tyler Sigman and artist Chris Bourassa from Red Hook Studios about how the team is putting this game together, as well as one of their newest additions: the bounty hunter, a mix of Batman and Boba Fett who exploits one of the most important facets of Darkest Dungeon's combat.īy clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's I've prepared a quick video, embedded below, covering the basics.įor those looking to dive deeper into the many secrets of Darkest Dungeon, read on. If you're not already caught up on this Lovecraftian dungeon crawler, fear not. Such is the cruelty of Darkest Dungeon, a game about managing the stress of being an adventurer for hire. This landed her six feet under at the hands of a mace-wielding skeleton, but her sacrifice resulted in my team surviving the battle. In her panicked state, the good doctor refused to follow orders and stay out of harm's way. A few unlucky critical hits and a stressed-out plague doctor were wreaking havoc on my team. Other dangerous foes like the Cultist Acolyte, Madman and Pelagic Shaman who can deal severe stress damage or heal their allies are also good targets for Stuns, since it robs them of a turn they could spend causing problems.There were several moments playing Darkest Dungeon when I was certain all was lost.
Stunning them buys heroes extra time to kill them. Foes like Drowned Thralls and Gatekeepers act on a timer, meaning that once they pass two turns, they deal a devastating party-affecting move. While it's annoying when used by enemies, Stun is actually a great status to inflict to give players a chance to buff up their heroes and knock their opponents down. Others like the Sycophant, Webber and Maggot hit for much less damage, but still drag the fight out by Stunning, which costs a hero them a turn and gives time for reinforcements to arrive. Enemies like the Chevalier, Bone Defender and the Gargoyle have hard-hitting moves that also Stun heroes in addition to knocking them back through the ranks.
Instead, it's caused by an opponent's attacks, both routine attacks and heavy-hitting. Unlike the other two status effects, Stun cannot be dealt to a hero outside of battle, meaning that a curio or trap won't trigger it.
