I'm surprised there isn't a thread for this game - it reminds me of DROD a lot, even if the gameplay is completely different.



Drain Storm is a game released in 1997.
I would describe it as a turn-based roguelike (roguelite?) with projectiles that's surprisingly fun and mechanically interesting.

There were almost no articles and no videos about the game, so I attempted to create a video review, that can you can watch here.

I wonder what happened to the original author - I spent some hours trying to track him down to ask if he still had the game's source code, but I think it's impossible to find him with the information that's available.

Yusss... I have downloaded this game on the same day I downloaded DROD:AE and had it burned on the same CD. The game was brilliant and if I remember correctly from the website the author wanted to make a sequel.

I wanted to make a game like this. Play this game, it's that good.
