That’s when the DLC first rears its head. My ill-fated first attempt to tackle The Crimson Court started going downhill during week three of the campaign. What was already an extremely challenging game has become considerably harsher and unyielding, so much so that even gluttons for punishment may balk at the prospect of fighting the new vampiric menace. Every layer of the tactical RPG is now laced with poison and jam-packed with barbs that pierce and tear with every bite.

Districts: New prestige buildings that offer permanent, estate-wide bonuses.The Crimson Court has transformed Darkest Dungeon into a turducken of cruelty.

A new wandering boss known as The Fanatic, a vampire hunter-esque madman who will hunt down any of your heroes bearing the curse.

4 new, unique Courtyard Bosses with some of the most complex and devious mechanics yet.

Heroes can be afflicted with something known as the ' Crimson Curse,' which turns them into a Vampire.

New enemies found in the other regions.

Massive, sprawling maps with locked doors, prisoner rooms, and progress saves.

A new location known as ' The Courtyard,' which will include new curios, traps, obstacles, and a complete faction of blood-crazed foes.

“Awash in blood and delusion, he bears the burden of a thousand lifetimes.”

Additionally, he cannot become virtuous, and only receives one unique affliction, Rapturous. The Flagellant, a new Hero class: a frontline healer that can apply strong bleed damage and receives buffs on low health and on the edge of death.A parallel campaign taking place during the main quest which sheds light on The Ancestor's early days, including new cutscenes.
