Darkest Dungeon®: The Crimson Court is the first expansion for the award-winning grim and gothic RPG by Red Hook Studios. Crimson Court is a parallel campaign experienced alongside the main Darkest Dungeon content that will provide you with new challenges and variation at every difficulty level. The narrative grounding sheds some light on the Ancestor’s early days, and will be presented in the same style of cut-scenes you’ve seen elsewhere in the game.
The Shieldbreaker DLC adds an all new recruitable hero into Darkest Dungeon. She is a powerful tactical combatant, able to pierce armor, break guards, and poison foes. The DLC also includes several new monsters and a new consumable item type: the Aegis Scale!
The Color of Madness DLC opens the Farmstead region which has become the site of a fallen comet! What madness awaits those who venture forward to find the out fate of The Miller and his farmhands? Battle your way towards the crash site and venture between time and space to find what lies at the epicenter of this new creeping crystalline aberration!
