What players say

Players call DROD one of the best puzzle series they have ever played, with unique mechanics that feel fresh despite the series' age. It offers hundreds of hours of content across official DLCs and a huge user-made level collection, though a few puzzles and the secret-room hunting can feel tedious. The game saves after every move, making it easy to play in short bursts.
