Darkest Dungeon is a hard-core RPG about the stresses of dungeon crawling. You will lead a band of four Heroes on a perilous side-scrolling descent, dealing with a prodigious number of threats to their bodily health, and worse, a relentless assault on their mental fortitude! Five hundred feet below the earth you will not only fight unimaginable Foes, but famine, disease, and the stress of the ever-encroaching dark. Darkest Dungeon focuses on the humanity and psychological vulnerability of the heroes and asks: What emotional toll does a life of adventure take?

This game is AWESOME! It's in Early Access on Steam but is perfectly playable (I wish I would have waited, if only to ensure I wouldn't overplay it and burn out before release). The best description I have seen is "Adventurer Manager + XCOM, set in the world of Warhammer Fantasy if it was created by Lovecraft.

It's very Lovecraftian, from the premise (you are the heir to a once mighty estate, given the task of reclaiming your ancestral manor) to the gothic artwork and dialogue that set the tone. The roguelike aspect comes from expendable adventurers that might die, or might be reduced to worthless wrecks from stress accumulation earned by exploring horrific caverns and crypts and battling the horrors within.

It is excellent. Highly recommended.
 
I only played a little in open access, didn't want to ruin it for myself. Loved it tho, it's very cool.
