Mostly Pre-Recollect And First Era Related.Tips and Things You Need to Know Introduction The game has a very unique (not necessarily in a good way) progression path. ![]() And on top of that very gimmicky rogue-like elements, wich more or less just surving a purpose of being a rogue-like (and for lore, kinda). Mostly Pre-Recollect And First Era Related Down below I wil try to warn you of some mechanics and design choices, which are pretty counterintuitive, if you played similar games before, so you maybe won’t instantly get bored of pointless grind. The game is extremely punishes you for squad favouritism, with a sacrifice mechanic. In case you only just finished a tutorial and already checking guides (no blame for that in this game), you will be faced with a sacrifice mechanic. Basically, you can only heal your squad unit by sacrificing another squad unit of the same level or higher. You maybe thought for a second, like: “Hmm, interesting stuff, makes a game more challenging, and demand a very strategic and smart play”. ![]() And well, you will be partially right, unfortunately it’s take very long time to level up, mainly because you can only do 1 mission with a character a day. So you can be in a situation, when you just won’t have time to level up sacrifice material. And it will just drop down to a pointless grind and self-restrictions on gameplay. You should always prioritize equalising levels of “Daughters” in your pool (despite the fact, that you will get extremely fat stat boost for each level).Here is some tips regarding early gameplay. You only have to complete 1 synapse a day, so use that to balance exp gain. Early it is better to spend your vitae for buying “Daughters”.Skip synapses if you don’t want to overlevel someone for example. Skill upgrades are too expensive at the start. You can face tank with 2 shieldbearers and gungirl.When you have sufficient amount of squads to close as much synapses as you can, start to equip memories (and not hurting level equalising). Small guys deal almost 0 damage, and dungerous hunters can be bullied to death with a slam spam (and you will never see them on the timeline ever again). For the boss – it is better to switch 1 shield for a gun. Enemies, that are about to spawn (you will see the hands on the ground), will only move closer to you on spawning, unless you are standing just in the next square.I saw a guide about first boss, go lookup there the tactics. If you don’t want to recollect more than you need, lookup boss tactics.So you can camp spawn points at least 1 square away without fearing to take damage. Game is completly designed around absent knowledge (you will loose almost no matter what, if you fighting a boss with a wrong roster) and stat walls. Upon playing you will unlock extremely powerful buffs. In combat you don’t really have to waste AP for moving to enemies.Plus, you will be able to ressurect any Daughter of any level right from the start (or you can save them for boss). Othercide is really not as grindy as it looks because Daughters are meant to be disposable (hence the sacrifice mechanic) and it does a great job setting up checkpoints throughout the game so you never feel like you've wasted your time and lost progress.ĭream mode will probably make the game faster, but it will be because it will be made easier since you won't really have to worry about health (unless you mess up really bad) or consider sacrificing daughters, which kind of trivializes two core mechanics of the game.Just wait for them to come as close as possible and attack. It takes an average of 56h just to complete the main story, while Othercide takes less than half that time. ![]() Radiant mode (in DD) focuses on making the game progress faster (faster EXP gain), while Dream mode in Othercide focuses on making the game easier (HP regen).ĭarkest Dungeon is an amazing game, but it's extremely grindy and doesn't really respect the player's time. I'll try not to repeat what other have already said by mainly pointing out what I think is a disconnect between the two things you're comparing. ![]()
