Will the campaign save Darkwater?

Is it fair to say the combat is simpler in Darkwater than Cursed City? Roll #+ to hit on d6. No special dice. Always three actions.

But I have seen a couple of the early missions in Darkwater and they seem pretty creative. They both had special goals and rules. I never played Cursed City, but it seemed like you grinded the same 4 missions over and over. In Darkwater it seems like every mission is unique in some way.

Anyway, I have ordered it. Just starting some conversation because I have Darkwater fever.
