DROD RPG 2: A Courageous Rescue

Praise for "DROD RPG"

DROD RPG is good. Really, really good. -- Terry Cavanagh, creator of "VVVVVV" on TIGSource

The DROD games are some of the best and most demanding puzzle/logic games around. They combine a simple interface with deep puzzles. -- PC Logic Games

"Tendry's Tale" redefines most RPG conventions. -- Adam Templeton, Daily Nebraskan

DROD RPG 2: A Courageous Rescue is a 2D puzzle dungeon crawl with resource management, RPG, and move optimization elements. It features an all new campaign with multiple difficulty settings, plus new graphics, music, game elements, quality-of-life features, and an upgraded level editor with vastly expanded scripting support.

DROD RPG 2 combines DROD's puzzle elements, strategy, world and story backdrop with player stats, weapons and armor, one-on-one monster duels, items, custom power-ups and treasure. It is a "Magic Tower" game that's similar in flavor to Desktop Dungeons.

As a puzzle/logic game, level layouts, items, enemy encounters, and treasures are all hand-crafted to bring you a series of engaging, well thought-out puzzles that are a joy to solve. Navigate through series of interlocking rooms, looking for the exit on each level. Spend hit points and resources wisely to power up and advance. Decide which pre-placed monsters to fight along the way. Battles resolve deterministically according to a clear set of rules. Get rewards from defeating enemies now or come back later when you're more powerful and can take less damage.

Combining DROD's straight-forward interface and flexible puzzle widgets with the staples of dungeon crawling and resource management makes for a unique, genre-busting gaming experience. Play this game to relax and contemplate, or take advantage of its huge depth and optional elements of challenge and replayability to optimize your score against other players. Along with a powerful level editor, modding capabilities and an enthusiastic player community producing novel puzzle content, this is a game you can enjoy for years.
