Anyone else play this? It's a pretty great turn based puzzle game, and I think it still has an active community of mapmakers.
Fuck yes!
I just tried making a thread about it on /v/ yesterday, but it died.
The games should hit steam soon, perhaps they'll gain a bit of popularity then. DROD is the only game I ever played where I actually felt smarter after going through the levels, like I actually learnt some new way to think.
Wasn't there an RPG version of this game?
But I never found a download.

Yep, there's DROD RPG. You can find it on caravel games' website ortorrent
got the whole collection on GOG, and finished DROD 4 a couple of months ago, Im currently playing DROD 1 but I put it on hold for a while
this series is surprinsingly charming,

The original was made in 1996, technically the architect's edition and the iterations after them are post-2k, but seeing as how they're the practically the same game, and also how people on /vr/ would probably be more likely to have played it I took my chances.

It has a very personal charm to it that most early freeware games have, mostly due to it being the product of just a single person instead of a big team. If there's one complaint I hear about the game it's how dry it is. Definitely not the most immediate or welcoming game, unless it's already your kind of thing.

But that's nothing? The game is like, 20 levels, even more in later ones?

What can I say, I easily get burned-out.
I urge people to check this out and give it a chance. It took a while for me to be hooked, but I can say there's no game like DROD. There's a reason people keep making more content and demanding new games in the series

Well, yeah, I guess, I didn't play it, just the regular DROD games

Isn't the Architect's Edition an earlier version that got released later?
I think it should be considered retro. If it's not, then a lot of unreleased sequels, betas, lost games, etc. aren't retro either (such as Chip's Challenge 2)
Seems pretty cool, is it like Chip's challenge ? I loved that game as a kid

Not really.
It's a puzzle game, but there's a heavy focus on killing enemies. The game is turn-based and monsters only move when you do; you can move in eight directions, and also rotate your sword. Everything dies in one hit; you die if an enemy touches you, but they die if they touch your sword.
Got to tar level and it starts to be difficult.

If you're playing King Dugan's Dungeon, I hear the later entries have less frustrating levels. They didn't iron out the kinks in the first game. Journey to Rooted Hold is supposed to be the best one
