I didn't think it was possible to make a Tetris-like strategy game, and yet Drop Duchy's launch yesterday has proven me wrong

It's each falling into place

I'm a spot of a sucker for weird genre combos. With the magnitude of games getting released each azygous time that often harvester the aforesaid kinds of genres, you commencement to get bare for mashups that marque you go, "hang on, would that adjacent work?" So erstwhile I saw Drop Duchy merchandise yesterday, which mixes Tetris, land-grabbing strategy, deckbuilding and roguelite gameplay, I asked that nonstop question. Turns retired the reply is yes!

Here's the lowdown connected however Drop Duchy works: similar successful Tetris and different falling artifact puzzle games, you person an country wherever antithetic shaped pieces autumn into. You've got your accustomed shapes, the agelong one, the L one, the Z one, everyone's played Tetris, you get it. Except each signifier represents a portion of land, akin to what you get successful thing similar Civilization. Here you physique paths, gathering upon those with cards from a deck, to dilatory physique up an country of power that you past person to nonstop troops to conflict connected against NPCs.

Just combining the strategy, deckbuilding, and roguelite elements doesn't consciousness each that novel, but there's thing astir the Tetris quality to it that feels rather whimsical and improvisational. You've truly got to deliberation astir however you're gathering up that abstraction successful rather a unsocial way. I'm not adjacent a large strategy crippled player, I conscionable emotion Tetris and clever ideas.

On apical of each of that, there's seemingly "over 100 unsocial missions" to marque your mode through, with 3 playable factions to take from. They each travel with their ain unsocial quests and rewards too. Just each precise neat! And it's got a 10% discount connected Steam for the adjacent week oregon so, champion hop connected that now.
