About DROD RPG: Tendry's Tale

Tendry must escape underground captivity and help save Tueno from the Underground Empire. The handcrafted rooms place monsters, equipment and treasure in fixed arrangements. Choosing when to fight is part of the puzzle: returning after powering up can cost fewer hit points than taking the same enemy on immediately.
