Crimson Hook Studios has unveiled the primary paid DLC pack for Darkest Dungeon 2: The Binding Blade, to not be confused with the Fireplace Emblem recreation that had Roy from Smash Bros. in it. The DLC is coming a while in December, and can add two new playable characters: the all-new Duelist, and the long-awaited return of Darkest Dungeon 1’s Crusader.
I used to be shocked we by no means acquired the Crusader amongst Darkest Dungeon 2’s early entry drip of characters. He was a very sturdy and versatile choice for any social gathering, occupying that D&D Paladin area of interest of tank and harm seller and assist/healer.
On high of that, I all the time noticed him as a little bit of a mascot for the sport alongside the Highwayman. The Crusader’s Darkest Dungeon 2 iteration appears to largely fall consistent with his unique skillset, a minimum of in accordance with The Binding Blade’s promo materials:
“This battle hardened knight is fueled by a radiant Holy hearth and can Smite his foes the place they stand. The Crusader is a nicely rounded entrance rank hero who can stand up to punishing blows, assist his staff with therapeutic and stress restoration, and rend his opponents together with his righteous blade.“
However the Crusader will not be alone in The Binding Blade: the DLC additionally introduces the Duelist, a full-on classico swashbuckler with a cape and rapier. The character idea definitely lends itself to excessive harm, and the Duelist has the flexibility to disregard enemy resistances, however the brand new character additionally appears to have some distinctive assist features as nicely like negating allies’ cooldowns.
The Binding Blade can even introduce a brand new roaming miniboss and playable backstory segments for the brand new characters. The pack has not but been given a worth, however it’s at present out there to wishlist on Steam and Epic.
