Other issues

One of the major components of this well-established series is the way in which it subverts and satirises modern American social mores and issues. This game is no exception and one aspect of the game play centres around the contemporary issue of police brutality towards African-Americans. The game offers a character creation facility which allows the player to create darker-skinned characters which will result in the police acting with increased hostility towards and even attacking such characters. There are further references such as a mission in which the player enters a police station and sees the cells filled with African-Americans and the police using racial slurs. Some players may find this element within the game distasteful or even offensive.

Advice for consumers

The game was rated PEGI 16 for arcade style violence with blood. Not appropriate for persons below 16 years of age.

Brief outline of the game

Five hundred feet below the earth you will not only fight unimaginable foes, but famine, disease, and the stress of the ever-encroaching dark. Darkest Dungeon focuses on the humanity and psychological vulnerability of the heroes.

Content specific issues

Although the game’s characters can utilise a plethora of different weapons and magic spell attacks, each one will cause similarly sized blood splashes to be seen. Characters do not react realistically to the violence as they are primarily static and do not have the fluid movement normally associated with human game characters. The life span of all characters is governed by a health gauge which will slowly diminish with each successful hit. When it expires entirely the character dies and disappears in a cloud of black smoke.
