These Video Game Enemies SUCK!

So, Darkest Dungeon is a game in which the aim is to make it through challenging areas in one piece with your body and mind in one piece. It is also a game in which every single living creature, level design, and even inanimate objects wants to make that goal as difficult as possible.

Where most games focus on danger being created by enemies that damage your health, here you have to worry about your psyche as well, because here foes can raise stress levels of your party so much that they might deliver a devastating heart attack or drive you utterly insane.

Enter the Madman who, much like trying to organize a group event with over five people attacks you with stressful remarks over and over again. His cries of despair that sound like if Death Grips dropped the backing music, will tear groups apart at the seams and leave even hardened adventurers quaking in their boots.

No matter, you might think to yourself, I’ll help this fella along and by that I mean I’ll cave his !*$% skull in, but here comes another charming feature of this utter bastard, and that is that his dodging skills seem to be bloody on point. I’ve never met a chap who has lost his mind who also moves like a bloody ballet dancer around my attacks, and I tell you this for none It’s !*$% infuriating.

Sure there are other enemies in this game that will also drive you mad in both a metaphorical and literal sense (shout out to the swines that also cause you not only stress damage but also give a high chance to poison you as well, and by “shout out” I mean screaming f**k off very loudly), but the Madmen appear so frequently and so early that you’ll learn to loathe them in short order.
