DROD RPG: Tendry's Tale

A great spin-off

I'm a long-time DROD player and this is a great side-line addition to the main *logy. It not only goes to show how versatile the game engine is, but recreates a genre which has been under-represented in the last decade at least. What you'll find here is a tactical game based on the classic tile-based resource optimisation - your own health and armour values + deciding who to fight and in what order is "all" you'll need to work out to solve each level. This will of course not be easy and with the addition of multiple usable items affecting each confrontation, this journey ends up being a true challenge even for the best of minds. Worth mentioning is the interface using modern graphics and threaded throughout is a spectacular storyline. This may lull the player into a false sense of security though so beware :) The game is extremely enjoyable and relaxing - yet will get as involved and more mind-bending each time you dare to push on :) Cheers!

Unmechanical: Extended

An amazing experience

And experience is probably the best way to describe it. As smudge17 points out, the controls are very simple (though I recommend using 'e' instead of 'space' if moving top left using the arrow keys whilst dragging isn't possible). In any case, this really reminded me of a pov in a classic Amiga/Atari demo from the early 90s - it is an artistic/physics masterpiece. Gamewise, it caters for exploration (which is not usually my cup of tea), but the puzzles encountered, though not tough, are very fun to play through. Exploring how elements interact without guidance is a great asset to the game in that respect. The soundtrack is one of the better ones I've listened to in a long time - very atmospheric and aptly so. Focusing on the components as I have is unfair in a way though - the game is an experience which may not suit all, but I've no doubt only very few players would be inawed by the overall game.
