DROD: The City Beneath is the third game in a series of turn-based puzzle dungeon crawlers. While the first two games only had small story parts and mostly let you out there on your own to solve the puzzles in each of the hundreds of rooms, in "The City Beneath" all puzzle rooms are connected by a very nice story with many different graphic sets throughout the journey.
While the game may look like a luck-needing time-constrained health-management action game at first glance and some parts of the game can even be played by rushing through and just killing all monsters you come to, the reality is that each monster follows a very strict set of rules and many rooms are much easier if you understand these rules, take your time to think and just make the few sufficient moves that kill the monster, pull the door switch and lead you into the next room. It is very intriguing and I really recommend it to fans of Adventure games, Role Playing games and Puzzle games who seek an easy-to-learn and never-too-hard challenge. The good thing is that if you really should have problems with a certain room, there's the official forums which are visited daily and around-the-clock by helpful people - and there's a good catalog of already discussed puzzles so no need to ask your own question every time if you are still get known to the DROD characteristics.
