DROD 4: Gunthro and the Epic Blunder, a prequel to the DROD series that proves to be the DRODest of all the DRODs, is available for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X, for only $9.99. At the same time, we're introducing Linux versions of DROD 1 + 2 + 3 and DROD RPG: Tendry's Tale.
DROD 4: Gunthro and the Epic Blunder is designed as an entry-level offering to the DROD world, with both new players and veterans in mind. The level layout is designed to be more forgiving, with multiple hub areas to explore. The game starts easy, has a smooth learning curve and an integrated online hints system. If DROD has seemed too difficult for you to get far into, then you should be pleased by the design that went into this game, making for a delightful blend of fun and challenge. Each room is a unique, hand-crafted puzzle that you solve by clearing out all the monsters. Game mechanics are turn-based, and by making moves as fast or as slow as you like, you can experience the action and solve puzzles at your own pace. The game features all-new puzzle elements and enhanced level crafting abilities that add more depth to the previous offerings in the franchise.
If your eyes yearn for some good old-fashioned programer-art as much as your brain desires a puzzling challenge and your heart needs a new adventure, make sure to pick up DROD 4: Gunthro and the Epic Blunder for only $9.99, on GOG.com.
