Description

Darkest Dungeon is a gothic roguelike RPG dungeon crawler about the psychological stresses of adventuring. You will lead a band of four heroes on a perilous side-scrolling descent, dealing with a prodigious number of threats to their bodily health, and worse, a relentless assault on their mental fortitude! Five hundred feet below the earth you will not only fight unimaginable foes, but famine, disease, and the stress of the ever-encroaching dark. Darkest Dungeon focuses on the humanity and psychological vulnerability of the heroes and asks: What emotional toll does a life of adventure take?

History

Darkest Dungeon was conceived as an antidote to the loot-piñata RPG experience which focuses solely on a character's numerical capabilities. Squad leaders and sports team managers have to contend with the human factors as they strive to maximize effectiveness--why not in RPGs? Combining this concept with a Lovecraftian-inspired grim setting, the game was born. Full development began in May 2013 after assembling a veteran team which had the artistic ability, system-based game design experience, and technical versatility to deliver a game that would meet the ambitious vision while also being entertaining to play.

Features

-Manage a team of heroes through the physical and mental stresses of adventuring. Try to stop paranoia, greed, anger, depression, and more from crippling the party.
-Affliction System: Make the most of character flaws and strategically construct your party to overcome hardship.
-Innovative turn-based combat with a nostalgic feel
-Striking hand-drawn 2d gothic art style
-Original score by Stuart Chatwood, composer for eight "Prince of Persia" games and founding member of multi-platinum Canadian rock band "The Tea Party."
-Meaningful consequences and permadeath deliver heightened tension and provide for truly heroic moments.
-A Lovecraftian-inspired story of greed, fallen greatness, and redemption.

I was watching the new DLC trailer for Darkest Dungeon and the end line made me think that he is the best narrator of all time.

"Action and consequence will invariably have their dreadful reunion."

That voice, that gravitas...

Second best I could think of would be the guy from Bastion. Perfect, deep, radio voice.

But apart from these two, I couldn't think of another great narrator.

I agree from what I've seen (or rather heard) so far.

Not so sure about Bastion, but maybe because the script there is inferior. Hard to distinguish between the actor and his lines. He'd have to read better lines for a more accurate comparison.
