Mod to increase RNG and turn combat into a gamble
I like the concept of a gambling videogame. Like IRL casino, but instead of actual money you bet in-game success. Victories in combat, finding better loot, getting more positive traits at level up, etc. And I really like how Darkest Dungeon is the closest thing to that. You can win even when all sems lost, or your expedition can become a disaster when everything seems to be in the hat

But I can't help but admit it, that the randomness of combat, exploration, and other RNGs here is a bit overrated. If you learn the game better, you absolutely can make battles and exploration more consistent and increasing the chances of success

As much as I like it, I kinda wish for a mod to make combat and exploration more chaotic, make RNG more chaotic. That way so it could both help and harm my units, and do this in total randomness

Tell me, does such mod exists? I would be delighted to try it out

How much balatro have you played.

lol i hadnt finished reading your post (and I havent played balatro) but that came to mind too hahaha

ive kind of been in a sort-of similar itch with this game, though, and i havent even beaten it yet. I want it EXTRA, i want MORE of everything. MORE RNG sounds good to me, or at least a cool mode supporting it.

I want 5 heroes on an expedition, size 2 heroes, 3 trinkets, more trinkets, less ♥♥♥♥♥♥ trinkets XD, more complimentary combos for even juicier theorycrafting. scale everything up a little bit. I dont really care, but this game seems like its a good starting point for so much more, even just through modding

one of those could be MOUNTS. so a hero still only be size one but ride an interchangeable MOUNT like a horse.

might require an expanded universe, which isn't too hard. like mounts make travel on 'the roads' easier/'faster'. Youd have hamlet(s) towns cities to travel between, perhaps doing various Darkest Dungeons, like 2 or 3. So one in the og Estate, then theres a faraway castle where we gotta go, and sometimes we travel between the two so mounts make sense.

Boom, DD1.5 looking good af
This all just sounds like Darkest Dungeon 2, Kingdoms mode included.

Sounds like you need to save up a decent chunk of money to fund all this development work.

I dunno what balatro mean, I just like randomness in turn-based games

seriously your post reads like someone who's played balatro - and i havent played or ever watched it! I just know its like one of the better RNG simulators to exist recently

maybe you'd like it? Balatro. A poker/solitaire roguelike or smth, idk

Right click the game, select properties, and add -enabledebuginput to the launch options. Then, when in dungeon, press X. Your DD has now become an autobattler, with heroes picking their skills and targets. You're welcome.

The combat is already a gamble wym?

If you're looking for a game that is 100% a gamble with literally zero skill expression ( I mean, you've already kinda found it by landing here) you could check out Dicey Dungeons. It's literally just gambling the game.
