Darkest Dungeon, the roguelike with a dark atmosphere, developed by Red Hook Studios, is the newest in a long line of if you die you stay dead games coming out in recent years. Following in the footsteps of games like Magicite and FTL: Faster than Light, Darkest Dungeon sets itself up like something from Lovecraftian Horror, with madness thrown into the mix of death and illness. Can this dark approach to the genre set up a new formulae for future games?

I really wish authors would spend more time explaining and detailing things rather than being so focused on throwing a list together for yet another opinion piece. There's a ton you can say about all of these games and their ties to Pen and Paper roleplaying. Other than Armello, all of the listed games are inspired by various PnP RPGs, including Warhammer for one of them. Obsidian alone got much of their start in classic D&D RPGs and Dragon Age was their own take on many of their past creations molded into one that was even turned into a PnP game.
