I've been eyeing the game for a while now. Is it frustratingly difficult?

But the frustration is the beauty of it. It's supposed to drive you mad.

If you like turn based rpg's, it's a no-brainer.

Maybe I should rephrase. Is it unfairly frustratingly difficult? Does it feel like the game is actively out to get you?

Yes and yes. Which is what makes it so great.

This kinda says it all. Comes up evertime you start right before jumping to the title screen.

It's a really amazing game if you're into horror and/or rpg's.

definitely worth 7 for the base game (if you don't mind difficulty in games)

can't speak on the DLC as I don't own any of it.

move all remaining groundhog mercenaries to the front lines. Have sheep troopers squadrons A and B flank the cows. They're using DC-17 hoof blasters.

This. The base game is great if you like cosmic horror stuff and turn based combat

Darkest Dungeon isn't hard, it just brutally punishes mistakes. The learning curve is high but not really worse than SMT (and with no bullshit insta-death). Expect to get your ass kicked for a few hours and then you should be ok. The game is brutal but fair, very rarely does something go catastrophic and it not be your fault (that wasn't true when the game was in Early Access but the devs got it right before final release).

Crimson Court DLC almost doubles the size of the game. It also makes an already punishing game even more punishing while also adding some extremely powerful options for players to invest time and effort in. Highly recommend it but don't enable it until you've got your feet under you.

Color Of Madness adds some content but not much and it's almost all late game. Suggest getting it and ignoring it until you're comfortable with the game.

Shield bearer DLC adds a new Hero class to the game. I don't feel it's really worthwhile, should really just be included in the base game tbh.

The game is nothing but one giant grind. It's not worth it for any price imo
