There is very little to criticise about Darkest Dungeon. It does lag at times, which can be frustrating, and the battle system could be a tad faster (although this would take away from the gruelling experience that they’re clearly meant to be). Perhaps the biggest problem for me is the RNG system, where too much of everything is influenced by a random invisible throw of the dice. Especially on harder levels, when suddenly your heroes seem to decide that actually getting a hit in is not all that important. It is a small nitpick, but it adds some artificial difficulty that the game really did not need.
Although this review possesses a rather negative tone, I did enjoy my time with Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIII. It is a surprisingly easy game to pick up and play, and I rarely found myself bored during the 25 hours of game time. Saying that, XIII fails to be the best at anything it attempts to do.
