Does it end?

[MAGIC]

So I'm thinking about getting, but does the game have an end? are there many play hours?

[Raven Guertena]

just finish the darkest dungeon ((that dungeon is literly called like this)) and the courtyard

Huh?

It does, but it is really difficult to reach, as it tells you to do more harder missions in the Darkest Dungeon. Of course after that you're free to mess around. The long term play is basically finding dumb things to do unless if you have Crimson Court DLC to finish their campain. After that you can do the Deus Vult runs.

There isn't multiplayer right? I'm having a hard time understanding

[Orici Vintarion]

to be honest i never finished the game .... everytime my party goes awol nuts..... dies of heart attacks steal ♥♥♥♥ scimming out.... the "heroes are just to much alike normal persons :P*

Yes, the game has an "ending". You finish the 4 story dungeons(Called Darkest Dungeons), and that finishes the main story. You are free to continue clearing out normal dungeons afterwards though.

The main game and the Crimson Court DLC have "endings" however, the game itself doesn't end, you can continue playing afterwards for as long as you like (including visiting the Crimson Court DLC area), also the final DLC which will be released (hopefuly) next month is aimed towards more end-game content.

Finishing the game (and Crimson Court DLC) will give you more than enough gameplay time than i can honestly calculate, you get your money's worth IF you learn how to play (check more info, tips and guides on the game for this) otherwise you will have a hard time and will most likely quit the game.
I have 50 hours in-game and i have yet to reach late-game, start the Crimson Court DLC (it's a though one, don't rush it), fully upgrade my Hamlet and Districts, even max out my non-cannon-fodder heroes.

Finally, no, it doesn't have multiplayer.

Story has endings as mentioned. Only 2-5% reach that according to global statistics. So odds are you end before the game does and then youtube the endings.

- Radiant difficulty no DLC about 30-40 hours.
- Standard difficulty no DLC about 60-80 hours up to 100 hrs on playstyle.
- Any Difficulty with Court part of CC DLC active from start as newbie will feel like work is better, way better, regardless of what your work is.
- Any Difficulty with CC active as pr. peoples recommendations anywhere 50-150 hours depending on a lot of things.

The feeling of never being truly safe, having the game throw a curve ball and the need to act acordingly.
Also there is just so much to learn and to improve in ones strategy....
If you want to be the very best and can accept that you are utter ♥♥♥♥ at the beginning, then this is for you.

250+ hrs and counting, I've finished the game on all difficulties with the DLC and have played a few modded playthroughs, and I gotta say, that DD is a game that hooks you in once you get the hang of it. There are times when you get absolutely destroyed and quit the game for a while (most end up quitting the game completely at some point), but for me there's just something about DD that reels me back in.

The game is a lot of fun and a part of that fun for me is feeling hopeless and miserable. If you can't deal with loss and have always played your games in such a way that you redo missions when you fail them, you're not going to have a great time adjusting to DD's brutal auto-saving system.

As someone mentioned before there's almost always room to improve and things to learn, even for someone who has sunk hundreds of hours into the game and played through it multiple times.

300+ hours of playing here. What keeps me coming back is that the game throws challenges at me and I am always learning something new. Every character can be built different ways and depending on how you build those character influences the party and the mechanics that party has, but no matter what you do you are never 100% safe, RNG-Satan and RN-Gesus are constantly fighting a battle for your sanity.

MODS and the DLC's' also add a GREAT deal amount more to the game. There's some sadist whom invented MIMICS (monster chests) that are an absolute pain to deal with. The big pay off for the game is something akin to what DARK SOULS offers, a sense of "♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ i just survived that! HELL YEAH!" And then RNG-Satan laughs at you and crit kills your Vestal and your party freaks out. Frustrating? Yes, but worth it.
