About this game

You can upgrade your town, which harbors training, healing and equipment purchasing facilities.
Characters have various stats, the most important of which is Stress.
Stress leads to the gaining of negative traits and, if its levels are too severe, death.
Negative traits can be gained, along with positive ones and experience, at the end of a mission.
Managing Stress and negative effects is a significant part of the game.
They cost large amounts of money to be healed, so you must weigh expenses with benefits - try to heal everyone and you'll soon go bankrupt.
During battle, characters' positions matter greatly, likewise with their given skills.
Darkest Dungeon is a tactically demanding game, so it is easy for a mistake to end badly.
Its storyline and aesthetics are influenced by H.
Lovecraft , Mike Mignola's artwork and stories, and the gothic desolateness typical to Edgar Allan Poe .
Story exposure is indirect and sometimes elliptical: its main source is a narrator that constantly comments on your actions.
His previous ambitions led to the unleashing of eldritch horrors and it's up to you, his heir, to banish them.
Characters also comment, hinting at their own storylines.
About PlayStation 4
The PlayStation 4 (2013) cemented Sony's dominance of the eighth console generation, with a library exceeding 30,000 titles once indie and digital-only releases are counted. Most PS4 games remain affordable for collectors, but limited physical print runs — particularly from smaller publishers and later in the console's life cycle — are starting to see steady price increases as digital storefronts eventually wind down support.
Gamevaro tracks Darkest Dungeon for PlayStation 4 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Darkest Dungeon to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS4 release dates back to 2016.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
