Imagine a game where, thanks to your leadership, characters can literally become so stressed out they die.

Welcome to Darkest Dungeon, which has you control a band of heroes, each with different classes and skills, and explore various dark, dank scenarios filled with nightmarish enemies. Before you even know what’s happening, your characters start dying left, right, centre-left, centre-right and you guessed it, dead means dead.

The game literally forces you into triage decisions, with the mission taking priority over individual characters. But man, losing your only level 6 healer is not easy, by any means.
