Your adventurer can die immediately on the first hit after they fall to zero hp, or they could take five or more hits and still, miraculously be alive. Death’s Door, for those not in the know-how, is a last chance for your characters to survive at zero hp – the name says it all. Logic dictates, the folks at Red Hook Studios should’ve removed or heavily modified it. The aspect which makes this entire mode infuriating is the Death’s Door mechanic. At the foundation of Darkest Dungeon has always been a test of endurance – for the characters, in their repeated attempts to map out the Estate of the Ancestor while surviving its untold horrors and for the player, as he learns to cope with mechanics which often might leave him furious with the injustice of it all. It’s not a bad piece of free content to dabble in – but it is also absolutely not the kind of content I expected to ever see from this game. The narrator makes his return with a few blood-curdling lines, but I think voice actor Wayne June could’ve been commissioned to do some shoutcrafting along the lines of “The Vestal breathes her last under the eldritch horrors of the Occultist.” That would’ve shown some extra commitment to the mode. But curiosity won out in the end, and here I am, sharing with you my impressions – short as they are.
The Butcher’s Circus offers one thing I never thought to see in the Darkest Dungeon – a PvP mode! I could hardly believe it when I first saw the announcement.
