Swordplay and puzzles combine in this thinking man's dungeon crawl. It's simple to learn, with just a handful of commands to master. This game's rogue-like exterior belies clever puzzle design and unique play mechanics that provide amazing depth. Each room is a hand-crafted puzzle that you solve by clearing out all the monsters with your Really Big Sword without letting any reach and kill you. Monster types each have their own AI, with deterministic movement patterns. Puzzle elements and terrain types help and hinder you in solving each puzzle. You start by learning basic mechanics and fighting techniques, and then the difficulty steadily ramps up as each room you face presents a fresh challenge with a logical solution. This game features a novel play style, with story- and puzzle-driven voiced dialogue delivered inline with hardcore puzzle solving that involves a mix of strategy, tactics, lateral thinking and linchpins. As developers, our goal is to present you with a novel experience where game mechanics are paramount. DROD will give you that "just one more room" feeling.

The story:
In this game, Beethro Budkin recounts an epic tale of adventure to his precocious nephews about his grandfather, Gunthro Budkin, and his exploits in the dangerous nation of Rasarus. Gunthro is a third-generation smitemaster and a rather ugly man. Smitemasters are hard-bitten, muscled veteran dungeon exterminators that slay hideous beasties in dark places for a living. You know Gunthro will get the job done, and you'll happily pay him to clear your basement of giant man-eating dungeon roaches.
When the Rasarun king is slain by an officer of Tueno, Gunthro is recruited by Rasarus to defend his country and reclaim its honor. However, as Gunthro searches deeper, he will find that things are not quite as they seem.

If you have never tried DROD, you're missing out. In addition to the main games there are (approximately) one quadrillion user-made levels which are mostly worth playing. For the price of this game you're getting hundreds if not thousands of hours of gameplay.
Gunthro and the Epic Blunder is an absolute joy of a puzzle game, and I would recommend it to anyone who's patient and willing to figure out some mind-bending puzzles. The soundtrack is lovely, and the mechanics are simple to learn, difficult to master. It's a great beginner's introduction to the DROD series, but it doesn't hold your hand for too long. The difficulty ramps up slowly and consistently.
My only complaint is that the story is a little light, and it doesn't really have a resolution (which ends the game on quite the sour note!). If you give it a play, try not to get too invested in the plot.
Okay I don't know about "best puzzle game ever", but it's definitely one of the "best puzzle games you've never played".
DROD doesn't adhere to the more elegant design ethos of modern puzzle games, it's a bit more messy and meandering. But that's okay, because the puzzle design is still top notch, it feels totally fresh and original despite its age, I can't believe I hadn't heard of it before. It's easy to see why it's had an active community for over 20 years!
Absolutely disgusting amount of gameplay even before you get into the fan-made levels. You will never finish everything.
If you can get past the intentionally ugly thing staring at you in the upper-left corner of the screen the entire time while you work out puzzles, this game -- and its DLCs -- will captivate and consume you for hundreds of hours.
Tons of user-made content too, including a 2400+ room hold larger than all five games in this series combined, which just released after 10 years:

plenty good

This is a great game. I got it on GOG first, played for about 3 hours, then got it here along with the 3 original games during the Steam autumn sale. I've always liked puzzle games, though they usually don't hold my attention for long. They either focus on being hyper-casual or insanely convoluted. DROD strikes the right balance between being simple enough to understand the mechanics and challenging enough to keep you engaged and relieved when you finally solve a room. The story, while not anything revolutionary, has made me laugh a few times and helps keep my attention span. I would definitely recommend this. It can run on practically any computer, so check it out!
i got this game 50% off (and the dlc for between 70% and 50% off) and it feels like it would be a good value at 200% price lmao
If you like steven sausauge roll, baba is you, monster expendition or just sokuban generally, i dont think I can recommend this enough. It really makes you feel you're figuring stuff out, and gives you the genuine aha moment that i love in these kinds of games.
of course, I am only 5 levels deep into the first dlc, at about 15 hours. It seems that there are hundreds of hours of content here, especially with all the mods (holds) that are on the forum. I feel like i've barely scratched the surface and I imagine i'll play this a lot in the upcoming weeks, and maybe ill actually finish it lol
Classic puzzle game with high but satisfying difficulty
