Nasty buzzing insects appear in Hamlet, the game’s safe haven, unveiling the expansion’s first wrinkle. That’s when the DLC first rears its head. My ill-fated first attempt to tackle The Crimson Court started going downhill during week three of the campaign. What was already an extremely challenging game has become considerably harsher and unyielding, so much so that even gluttons for punishment may balk at the prospect of fighting the new vampiric menace.
Every layer of the tactical RPG is now laced with poison and jam-packed with barbs that pierce and tear with every bite. Right now, however, it’s just kind of a slog through Darkest Dungeon’s oppressive love taps.The Crimson Court has transformed Darkest Dungeon into a turducken of cruelty. Hopefully, in the future, it will be much more balanced and live up to its potential. Red Hook is actively updating the expansion content based on player feedback, and have been since its release. The expansion isn’t all bad, with the additional content and mechanics themselves being interesting and unique additions to the game.
As end-game content, the process of completing it can become a grind, which takes away from the tension Darkest Dungeon carries so well with its initial design. In combination with the base game, it can make progression exceedingly hard, if not outright impossible for some. It’s in that same vein that, if you played the original game and thought that it was too difficult, The Crimson Court expansion probably isn’t for you either. If you’re the kind of person that complains about games being hard, or unfair in their mechanics, then Darkest Dungeon probably isn’t for you.
