    [​IMG]Cliqist takes a look back to the Kickstarter and Early Access phase of Darkest Dungeon:

    How Darkest Dungeon Stayed True to Its Kickstarter Promises

    It entered the crowdfunding realm on March 14, 2014. It covered its $75,000 goal in less than 24 hours. A year later, it was seen regularly on Twitch.tv's top 10 streamed games despite only being in the infancy of its Early Access life cycle. No, this is totally not a cheesy intro to an article, but merely a list of facts applying to Darkest Dungeon - an astoundingly evil and mind-bogglingly fun dungeon crawler that will surely make you rip your hair in frustration.

    I get the shivers just by saying the name actually, thinking about the swine monsters, the drums (the stressful type, imagine that), the necromancy, the heart attacks, the corpses and all those awful diseases I've never heard of before... And yet, Darkest Dungeon manages to lure me into playing more and more each day, as if I'm some sort of sadist addicted on torture and despair. I guess it also helps that I'm a sucker for highly stylized visuals, especially ones depicting dank dark dungeons narrated by the most perfidious narrator you'll ever have the pleasure to listen to.

    However, if you've come for a review I'm afraid this is the wrong place. Instead, wouldn't it be better if we took a returning glimpse at the original Kickstarter campaign, how it all lead into Early Access and what the current (final) state of the game is in relation to the original pitch?

    Yeah, that sounds like a great idea. Let's get cracking.
