It may have only taken me just under ten years (The realization that the game came out in 2008), but tonight I finally beat DROD: RPG. And even got the secret ending!

If Steam is to be believed I was terrible at doing so and am pretty much at the bottom of the ranks, but who cares!

Also, hey everyone!

At this point I should probably just restart the second half. I don't remember what I did at all and it would probably be easier than trying to take my current position to a winning state.

Hey, I was in the beta for it and helped with the writing and I still haven't finished it. Don't worry.

I think this was my fifth full restart of the second half.

I learned to save a lot this time. Restored a lot in the final few parts just to optimize as best as I could.

Good job on beating it! It's pretty tough!

Don't trust the Steam leaderboards, either there's a bug or they've been hacked, but they are wildly inaccurate. The highscores on this site are much better, all the Tendry's Tale's scores are correct at least.

Wow, good to see you gamer! RPG is, IMO, criminally underrated. Go play it people!

I like DROD:RPG a lot.

I also appreciate that Mike and company took a pretty simple little game as inspiration (Tower of the Sorcerer) and gave it the full Caravel treatment. This means adding a giant story, tons of game elements, hidden/bonus areas, networked stats, a level editor/publisher.

It's almost ridiculous. Everybody else just makes a little puzzle game. Caravel has to go epic.
