- Players interested mainly in business management may prefer a game centered on running an establishment rather than survival and exploration.
Our take on Deep Despair 2
The broad activity list suggests many possible play styles, but the described systems still center on survival preparation: gathering resources, making equipment and food, reinforcing a base, and entering dangerous dungeons. The page gives less emphasis to any defined progression path.
