About Darkest Dungeon® II

In Confessions, turn-based combat uses a token system, while relationships can create battle synergies or disrupt the party. Manage stress and use inns to improve bonds during travel. Failed expeditions still yield resources for later attempts, and the Altar of Hope unlocks upgrades and new strategies. Hero stories also reveal skills and paths.
