Deadly Rooms Of Death
« on: November 15, 2009, 06:09:26 pm »
This one has been biting into my usual DF time for a while. It's a turn based puzzle where you go into a dungeon and kill everything in each room, where everything is a variety of monsters that behave differently and create different challenges. Take a roguelike, replace the random dungeons with well-made puzzles, strip away character equipment, reduce combat to instakill, fill the voids with tactics and you should arrive at something rather close to DROD.

Yep, tis well wrought stuff.  Tendry's Tale jumps out to me the most though for the RPGish bits.

YES! This is the game I've been trying to remember! It was so awesome, I'm gonna get this again.

Also, this game HAS to have the most ugly main character EVER. XD

Diamonds are combustable, because they are made of Carbon.

Isn't that the point? It's part of the story.


Oh man, me and me daddy used to play this when I was little(5-6ish), may his soul burn forever.
I have the first and second on this computer, it's a really great game series.

I first tried playing DROD a few years ago. I got to level 18 or so (on King Dugan's Dungeon) but gave up on it when a bug in the level design forced me to redo the entire level. It's been a while, so I started from scratch, and now I'm at level 15. This is way more fun than I remembered.
