https://youtu.be/6CZkWXPo8BY As we all know RPG stands for: Roguelike Puzzle Game. DROD tasks the player to balance health, keys and other resources to navigate through rooms filled with monsters, locked doors and puzzles. The lack of any animation is almost made up for by the over the top performance of the voice actors. In the end though, the game lacks any real motivation to drive the player onwards due to it's overly simple combat and lackluster puzzle/room design.
プレイ目安:15時間くらい 難易度:★★★☆☆ ※日本語なし ドカンとRPGと銘打たれていますが、RPG風パズルという表現が適切でしょうか。 往年の作品『魔法の塔』のシステムが直接の参照元であり、簡略化した『ザナドゥ』とも言えるかもしれませんね。絶望的に知名度がないので、今回は紹介寄りのレビューです。 [h1]ゲームフロー・特徴[/h1] ランダム性のないRPGのようなイメージであり、敵キャラも決まった場所に配置されます。敵に体当たりすればこれまたランダム要素なしに勝敗が決まります。この繰り返しでマップを探索して攻略ルートを構築する流れで、端的に言えば最適化を楽しむゲームです。その性質上、1回くらいはやり直しを前提にした設計になっているので、リスタートがストレスに感じる方はこまめにセーブをした方が良いかと。従前の作品との差異は純粋なパズル要素がある事で、これは単純すぎず複雑すぎずで内実も伴っています。スコア目的でなければ全部解かなくてもクリア可能であり、攻略の多様性があるのも好ましく映りました。UIも凄いって程ではないものの、ショートカットキーやミニマップもあって概ね快適です。(特にCtrl+方向キーは便利) 尚、英語が良くわからないので断定はしませんが、ストーリーはおまけと考えて問題ありません。そこが気にならなければ、言語依存度は低いのでプレイに支障はないはず。 [h1]気になった点[/h1] 先に少し触れましたが本作のシステムは先例もありますし、ブラウザゲームで結構な数の類似作品が存在した為、独自性についてはあまり評価できません。当時なかった要素もあるとは言え、時代の変遷に対しての進歩は小さかったかなと。 後はグラフィックとサウンドですね。いかにも洋ゲーチックな作風で、まぁ客観的に観て水準以下でしょう(少なくともグラフィックは)。喋るGをペット(?)にするような謎世界観も相まって人を選ぶのは間違いない所です。 [h1]まとめ[/h1] 洋ゲーっぽさが気にならないのであればお薦め 絵柄が苦手であればまず『魔法の塔.Jr』(現在はフリーウェア)からプレイするのが吉。本作の総合評価は佳作としましたが、これは先述のグラフィック諸々の要素が伸び悩んだ為であり、ゲームプレイの満足度は高かったです。「見かけなんて関係ねぇ!」って猛者は是非トライして欲しいですね。
DROD RPG is a really fun and unique optimization game. It's a concept that seems like it would be tough to make work - essentially a single puzzle that spans many hours and hundreds of rooms. However, the game is very well designed to generally keep things challenging without forcing you to go back and repeat a ton of content - at most you'll need to go back a few rooms, maybe to the start of your current floor. Generally, even if you scrape through a boss with only a little bit of health left and most of your keys gone, you'll be able to beat the next floor still with careful decision making.
[Note I first played the game after its original release in 2008, and have played it for numerous non-steam hours since] A unique game which is both challenging and very fun in its own way. Endless replayability with some absolutely top-notch usermade levelsets, as well as a brilliant base game. Incorporating both RPG and puzzle elements, this iteration of the DROD franchise is definitely worth playing. 17 plucky Tuenans out of 19.
Сравнительно небольшая игра, в корой от оригинального DROD только визуальный стиль и движок. Сама игра скорее dungeon crawler где нужно найти оптимальный путь прохождения - в каком порядке убивать монстров на карте и какие улучшения покупать. Ни разу не мозговой штурм, достаточный для прохождения путь подбирается на 3-й раз. Сюжет забавный, но для тех кто не знаком со вселенной будет мало интересен. В целом 7/10, любителям неспешных головоломок будет в самый раз
Great game indeed. Have to figure out the best way to get through all the doors and monsters. Using least of health and keys. Friendly interface with unlimited undo in the room and fast save/load helps you concentrate on solving. While your action is mostly just move in the 8 directions with occasional opportunity to use som a helper item it still provides plenty room for thinking.
Really great. If you buy this game, be absolutely sure to try user-made level sets as many are *even* better than the base game!
Good game!
It's a good RPG and a great side story to DROD that shows how things are on the side of one of Beethro's enemies. I love Tendry's Tale for that, and I hope that they can maybe give something else like this in the future
10/10 roaches
