This DLC unlocks a new location to explore called The Courtyard, providing gorgeous, narrated cutscenes and hours of challenging gameplay. When activated, The Crimson Court can be accessed through one of your previously saved games, or you can start a brand new campaign. Darkest Dungeon: The Crimson Court, Red Hook Studios If you’ve ever wondered what Marie Antoinette would’ve looked like as a blood thirsty insect-human, this is about as close as you will get. The Crimson Court DLC adds a sinister new campaign that takes place during the early years of the Hamlet, complete with blood sucking, powdered-wig-wearing courtesans and esquires. If you haven’t played the oppressively difficult core game, you can read Robert’s PC review here or Jerry’s opinion on the PS Vita release here. Doom truly has caught up to you, and you've dragged the whole world into it.The team at Red Hook Studios has blessed us with the first DLC for 2016’s gothic Kickstarter success, Darkest Dungeon. There are people in this world, people you see, people who need your help, people who remind you of what is at stake.

That new sense of humanity doesn't stop with the party members, though - the world feels so much more alive this time, even as suffering weighs the air down. They feel like real people - and they're so easy to get invested in.

Likewise, if some of your teammates hate one another, well, it may not go so well for you. Now, their affinity towards one another affects combat - teamwork makes the dream work, after all. Before, you were meant to see them as expendable chess pieces, and their interactions were slim if they were there at all. It's in the relationships that build between the characters, whether negative or positive. Not just because I was losing well-trained party members - the people I needed to press on when the light dimmed, and the horror grew - but because I'm a sentimental person who can get attached to anything. Death in Darkest Dungeon was always difficult for me.
