✨ Core Functions

  • **Just right acceleration**: Increase the overall combat speed by about **35%**, making the game rhythm more compact and smooth.
  • **Preserve the sense of impact**: **The speed of the critical hit animation remains unchanged**, ensuring that those refreshing fatal blows are still full of power and will not become light and airy.
  • **Optimized experience**: Aims to provide a balanced solution that speeds up the game process without making animations appear abrupt or unnatural.

🛠️ Installation and activation

  • **Installation**: Extract all downloaded files into the `\DarkestDungeon\mods` folder in your game directory.
  • **Enable**:
  • Start the game, in the main menu or archive selection interface, you will see a **little blue hammer icon** next to each archive, click it to open the "Mod List".
  • Find "**Reasonable faster combat**" in the list and click the **small check**✅ next to it to enable this Mod for the archive.

💬 Author's words

The author was initially unhappy with the speed of the other "Faster Fight" mod, as it caused animations to look weird. Therefore, he made this mod to find a better balance between speeding up and maintaining the look and feel of the animation.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
