Try telling me that Darkest Dungeon does not look incredible

Darkest Dungeon/Gothic/Indie/kickstarter/Roguelike/RPG

News by Matt S. I thought I would briefly mention yet another spectacular-looking Kickstarter, because I suspect Darkest Dungeon is going to scratch a certain itch that a lot of gamers have. What we have here is a gothic horror-fantasy hybrid RPG that promises to be hard… and hardcore. Think…

News by Matt S. Have you heard of developers, Supercell? What about Clash Of Clans? I thought that one would ring a bell. The game that took the crown for “poster child of iOS gaming” has been doing very well for its parent. According to a report on Gamasutra, we…
