DROD RPG: Tendry's Tale

DROD RPG: Tendry's Tale is a 2D puzzle dungeon crawl with RPG, move optimization and resource management elements. You guide Tendry through interlocking rooms, solve hand-crafted puzzles, manage hit points and resources, and choose which monsters to fight as you search for each level's exit.

Story

Tendry is a member of the scattered Stalwart Army, trapped far beneath the surface. He may lack prowess as a warrior, but makes up for it with panache and humor. Help him survive battles and save his homeland of Tueno from the Underground Empire.

Rooms and combat

Level layouts, items, enemy encounters and treasures are hand-crafted as puzzles. You decide whether to fight pre-placed monsters, and battles resolve deterministically according to clear rules. Defeating enemies earns rewards, but you can also return later when you are stronger and can take less damage. The game combines DROD's puzzle elements, strategy, world and story backdrop with player stats, weapons, armor, one-on-one monster duels, items, custom power-ups and treasure. Its puzzle widgets and straightforward interface support both relaxed play and deeper challenges, including replaying levels to optimize your score against other players.
