When activated, The Crimson Court can be accessed through one of your previously saved games, or you can start a brand new campaign. Darkest Dungeon: The Crimson Court, Red Hook Studios If you’ve ever wondered what Marie Antoinette would’ve looked like as a blood thirsty insect-human, this is about as close as you will get. The Crimson Court DLC adds a sinister new campaign that takes place during the early years of the Hamlet, complete with blood sucking, powdered-wig-wearing courtesans and esquires. If you haven’t played the oppressively difficult core game, you can read Robert’s PC review here or Jerry’s opinion on the PS Vita release here. Right now, however, it’s just kind of a slog through Darkest Dungeon’s oppressive love taps.The team at Red Hook Studios has blessed us with the first DLC for 2016’s gothic Kickstarter success, Darkest Dungeon. Hopefully, in the future, it will be much more balanced and live up to its potential. Red Hook is actively updating the expansion content based on player feedback, and have been since its release. The expansion isn’t all bad, with the additional content and mechanics themselves being interesting and unique additions to the game. As end-game content, the process of completing it can become a grind, which takes away from the tension Darkest Dungeon carries so well with its initial design. In combination with the base game, it can make progression exceedingly hard, if not outright impossible for some. It’s in that same vein that, if you played the original game and thought that it was too difficult, The Crimson Court expansion probably isn’t for you either. If you’re the kind of person that complains about games being hard, or unfair in their mechanics, then Darkest Dungeon probably isn’t for you.
