question about DDII

[JoeVonFo]

Hi guys

I was hoping someone could clear a few things up about DDII compared to DD.

So in Darkest Dungeon you were essentially playing one long run, where you'd use the same heroes (out of a larger roster ofc) over and over again.

Listening to a review of DDII I got the impression that it's more of a traditional roguelite, in the sense that you play a run, acquire some resources and spend those on some permanent upgrades. But after each run you start over with new heroes and new everything (with the bonus permanent upgrades).

Is this correct?

Or does it still have a similar structure to DD1 where you have your heroes throughout the entire game?

That's mostly correct. You can make Heroes semi-permanent by equipping Memories on them (which means they'll keep their Quirks for the next run); but if they die or you abandon a run, they lose all their Memories. But otherwise you're essentially starting over each time with a fresh batch of Heroes.

Thanks :)

That actually sound pretty cool.
Darkest Dungeon was a great game, but I honestly prefer the approach of each run being a "new" game.
