The Drop

The Drop is an attractive roguelike with accessible gameplay that serves as a sort of sequel to 'The Reconstruction' (also available on Uptodown), continuing that game's story and characters.

Although in the first game you had to choose between various characters, in The Drop you can also choose to create a character from scratch. You'll choose its race, class, name, and attributes, just like in any roguelike worth its salt.

Similarly, you'll need to make an important decision at the beginning of your adventure: do you want to start in normal mode (where your death won't be permanent), or 'hardcore' mode, where dying even once means game over.

Gameplay will be familiar for any fan of the genre. The Drop uses turn-based combat, so you can choose to use your turn to move, attack, or use magic. Everything plays out from an intuitive interface that allows you to play most of the game using just three buttons.

Visually, The Drop stands out. In fact, its graphics have much improved over the saga's earlier installment - keep an eye out for the lighting effects produced by using magic, they're really beautiful.

The Drop is an excellent 'roguelike' with all of the ingredients necessary to satisfy even the genre's most demanding fans. In all, you'll have more than fifty or sixty hours of playing time thanks to its randomized dungeons.
