About This Game

DROD RPG 2 is a 2D puzzle adventure dungeon crawl with resource management, RPG, and move optimization elements. This sequel to "DROD RPG" features an all new three-chapter campaign with adjustable difficulty settings, plus new graphics, music, game elements, quality-of-life features, and an upgraded level editor with vastly expanded scripting support.

This is a "Magic Tower" game like Tower of the Sorcerer, Desktop Dungeons, and Tactical Nexus.

DROD RPG 2 combines DROD's puzzle elements, strategy, worldbuilding, and story backdrop with player stats, weapons and armor, one-on-one monster duels, items, custom power-ups and treasure.

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 Steam 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.

Absolutely amazing Magic Tower game, just like the original. Great music, great voice acting, and a lot of content with the optional challenges. Go play the original if you haven't already, then come play this. Highly recommended for fans of the genre.

This game was a total joy to play. It has all of the classic DROD charm, but with a significant amount of polish. Here's what I liked about the game: - The mechanics are extremely simple and easy to grasp, but the puzzles are deep and challenging. - There are several challenges that add a ton of replayability. Each run feels entirely unique because you have to adopt a new play heuristic depending on your end goals. - The new music tracks introduced in this game are among the best of the DROD series. (Please put the soundtrack on the Steam store!) - The characters, especially Tendry, the stock keeper, and the crypt keeper, are very likable. - The game has a highly adjustable level of difficulty. - The game is broken into chapters, each with an appropriate and manageable length. Unlike DROD RPG 1, softlocks are uncommon, and much easier to avoid. Here's what I didn't like about the game: - The story is a little light, and leaves the player with more questions than answers.
