Massive Darkness: Dungeons of Shadowreach | Should You Back It?

Description provided by Cardboard Starship on YouTube:

Massive Darkness returns with Dungeons of Shadowreach, but is it worth backing? In this video, I take a deep dive into what’s new, what works, and what still doesn’t from Massive Darkness 2: Hellscape. I’ll cover what makes Massive Darkness 2 a fun, loot-driven dungeon crawler and why the one-shot mode is its biggest strength. I’ll also break down why the campaign mode falls short, how the new difficulty modifiers attempt to address balance issues, and whether they actually improve the game. If you're considering backing this Gamefound campaign, I’ll explain why you may want to avoid going all-in and what pledge level I recommend for the best experience. If you’re looking for a true campaign-driven dungeon crawler, I’ll also share some alternatives that might be a better fit. Let me know in the comments if you're backing Dungeons of Shadowreach or sitting this one out.
