No twitchy reflexes needed--relax and contemplate each situation until you are ready to act. No difficult interfaces to learn and memorize--you simply move in one of eight directions or swing your sword. This unique game focuses on your ability to solve puzzles with logic and intuition. To reach the bottom of the vast Dugan's Dungeon, you will expand your tactical repertoire and maneuver your swordsman masterfully among hordes of roaches, eyeballs, serpents, tar, and worse.<p> The game has been around since 1997 with a growing cult following. People demanded a level editor, and in this version we finally have it. This release is called "DROD: Architects' Edition", because you get to be the architect and craft your own devious puzzles. At the end of beta-testing, there were already several level collections available, and there will be plenty more. We have a nicely-developed player community at http://www.drod.net. If you create your own levels you can post them on the forum, and people will rate and critique your efforts. | DROD 1.6.2: Architects' Edition | new | DROD |
