Darkest Dungeon II belongs in the roguelike conversation because its relationship system, route choices, confession bosses, hero memories, and run-based structure reframe the series around repeated expeditions. The run structure is what matters: it asks players to build a plan under uncertainty, then live with the consequences when the run turns ugly.

Why it matters

Darkest Dungeon II matters because it shows a sequel willing to rebuild its roguelite frame instead of simply adding more rooms.
