Pros

A new purpose for your end game.
Nice theme.
Crafting items seems fun.
You can play that aoe build you wanted to play for so long.

Cons

Loot + darkness degen makes a bad combo.
Micromanagment for torches ,granades etc looks super annoying.
Even near the wagon visibility is annoyingly low.
Forced to play good clear speed builds.
Forced to have good movement speed or good movement skill.
Forced to follow the wagon instead of being able to full clear.

Overall league score: 4/10

you should work for ign or gamespot with your scoring ability. there's a lot of info that is still missing and all we have is a trailer video.

Game is sooooo easy

Says the guy with 11 challenges complete.

Can't tell if trolling or oblivious.

In darkness, beast and man alike clamour to survive.

...but, but we also have new but-ugly recycled supporter packs!

*Dies at delve depth 58, respawns at the checkpoint at depth 30 in the darkness; dies again*

Joke aside: Whakawairua Tuahu league!

Second joke aside:
- nice addition to the game: it didn't exist yet and allows for maxing builds and testing new gear quite well, especially in standard.

- does enforce not so much speed clear but highest dps possible builds, so might be an issue for regular players that wanna try new builds into lategame (if you get stuck at say depth lvl85 so you wanna do lower lvl depths again; is that possible or do you need to reroll?)

- new skill gems; VERY nice
- new uniques for new build combo's: VERY nice
- league doesn't offer much that standard doesn't to MF characters cause they die quicker in the delve: hah!

- crafting is potentially nice; with the options shown even i could craft items that normally take exalt spamming (a.k.a. rich trader only crafting) but the ingredients could be rare. If it has the same rarity as previous leagues content it will be bait and useless to regular players.

- overal impression: not my cup of tea this league, but i will play it for the new skills added.

agree

but i don't see any PROS in this league.

ah and i am TOTALLY rolling #% increased Light Radius instead of Resistance

We are the darkest dungeon now, guys... looks promising! Also, cant wait to try new skills and dominating blow

I hope optimization will be better and I could play with more than 10 fps with dynamic resolution...
Hope it will be challenge for builders, not for computers.

For me it looks like a lot of micromanagement + forcing meta builds (once again).
3 new skills - nothing interesting.
We'll see but I'm pessimistic about the league.

How deep can we all go?
