What is Darkest Dungeon II about?

Some time after the temporary defeat of the Heart of Darkness, a scientist known as the Scholar begins experimenting with an eldritch force called the Iron Crown. The experiments spiral out of control, unleashing a catastrophic realignment of the planet that plunges most of humanity into madness and tears open the way for eldritch beings to invade the physical world. Worse still, the Scholar finds himself trapped in an endless cycle of repeating events. His mentor, the Academic, appears bearing the flame of Hope and tells him that the only way to undo the ruin he has wrought is to carry that Hope to the distant Mountain where the Iron Crown lies, and to finally confront his own guilt. Gathering a band of broken but determined survivors, the Scholar sets out on a perilous journey across a world consumed by horror, seeking redemption at the source of the evil.

Should I stream Darkest Dungeon II on Twitch?

0/100 · Closed off· 2 viewers per streamer on paper

Probably not. The two English streams here hold all 3 English viewers — once you take them out there is nothing left to reach.

The two English streams here hold all 3 English viewers between them. Take them out and nothing is left to reach.

Almost nobody here is available to you — either a couple of streams hold the room, or nobody is watching in English, or the category is empty, or you would be buried.

This reads the room as it is right now — how much of the English-speaking audience is reachable and where you would land — not how many followers you would gain. That depends on you.

Where to buy

All plain links straight to the official stores. Some will become affiliate links later, and they’ll be marked with a ♥ when they are — you’ll always be able to tell, and the unmarked ones will always be there.

Is Darkest Dungeon II too saturated on Twitch?

Not crowded, but not open either. Only 2 people are streaming Darkest Dungeon II, and the two English streams hold all 3 English viewers between them — so the room is quiet because that audience is already committed, not because it is waiting for you.

  • “My main gripe with this games is that it doesn't respect you, the player, or your time. DD1 was hard, even unfair, had moments of "haha, x3 crit + bleed + gonorrhea" but it respected you. Let me put an example, you enter a boss for the first time? - It's the a…”

  • “Underrated, Goated, just not Darkest Dungeon 1, nor it's systems and progression, DD2 is much harder and a more pure combat experience, much more you go into a run you do good for a few hours, everything falls apart you lose everything and start over”
