The story:

In this game, Beethro Budkin recounts an epic tale of adventure to his nephews about his grandfather, Gunthro Budkin, and his exploits in the dangerous nation of Rasarus. Gunthro is a third-generation smitemaster, and a rather ugly man. Smitemasters are hard-bitten, muscled veteran dungeon exterminators that slay hideous beasties in dark places for a living. You know Gunthro will get the job done, and you'll happily pay him to clear your basement of giant man-eating dungeon roaches.

When the Rasarun king is slain by an officer of Tueno, Gunthro is recruited by Rasarus to defend his country and reclaim its honor. However, as Gunthro searches deeper, he will find that things are not quite as they seem.

Experience the unique turn-based puzzle dungeon-crawler adventure that is DROD!

The engine is seriously flexible, also. People have made holds (level sets) for DROD that recreate multiple other classic puzzle formats and a puzzly take on the Metroid franchise, among other things.

This puzzle game is easily one of the best ever with only Portal and Braid competing with it. Some of the puzzles are a little tedious in the other games but the designers seemed to make a conscious effort to make the Epic Blunder more accessible to new delvers, yet still provide some new stuff for smitemasters like myself. I cannot believe this game isn't already on Steam.

Yeah it's great, but can you modernize the prices of the previous games?

Okay, slightly biased, as I did one of the voices in Gunthro and the Epic Blunder sample. :-)

Sigh. I've been in love with this game for over 15 years. It's the best pure puzzle game I've ever played - and I've played a LOT. The fact that it still hasn't been Greenlighted makes me wonder what's wrong with the whole system. :(
