60 of 95 · most liked firstSince I'm inbetween storylines I have once again managed to find a roguelite game that consumes me, and I can't recommend it enough. Drop Duchy. It's tetris, it's Catan, it's a deckbuilder, it's build synergy and it's like crack, at least to me. There's a basegame+Tribe dlc sale on steam rn too.
unlabelledView post →Since the world is on fire and recharging your mental batteries is important, I’m gonna give a Friday game recommendation! I’ve been really enjoying Drop Duchy recently - it’s a tetris/deckbuilder/roguelite mishmash that doesn’t seem like it should work, but absolutely does. I suspect witchcraft.
unlabelledView post →So Drop Duchy is kind of interesting. It's a deckbuilder where your deck is the buildings that you use in a Tetris style puzzle game to build a board containing resource pieces, your buildings, and enemy buildings. It recontextualizes Tetris because you need to think piece by piece not line by line.

unlabelledView post →To actually answer my own list now that I've thought of it. - Chants of Sennaar is a masterpiece of a puzzle game. - Drop Duchy is stupidly creative and not getting enough coverage. - Kingdom New Lands has me yearn for simple, small indie games. - Fez is unsurprisingly good. - Clair Obscure E33 -🥖

unlabelledView post →I have had serious post game depression after Expedition 33. Tried picking up a lot of games that I set aside for it, and nothing was hitting. But Drop Duchy has me ENGAGED. From a Tetris perspective, this board looks terrible. But I actually dominated. What a fascinating game.

unlabelledView post →So I was finally able to beat a hard run on Drop Duchy last night. I'm not always looking for highly challenging games, but there is something about the way you have to think to win in DD that is super interesting. The difficulty has kept me invested in the game (it's enticing). 😊
unlabelledView post →Game #14 of 2025 "completed". Drop Duchy. Beat my first run after about 5 hours. Plenty more to do though so Im not close to done! A clever mix of Tetris, Roguelite, Catan, and city building. It's all shockingly cohesive. A few minor qualms but I'm excited for more!

unlabelledView post →Look what Drop Duchy'd onto Game Pass? It's been on my wish list for a bit, gave it a whirl over coffee.. • puzzler • boardgame-esque • cozy aesthetic • rogue-like .. so why did I bounce off it? 🤔 Maybe it opens up, or is better on PC. I feel bad, but it just felt oddly sluggish and unrewarding.

I'll probably buy more too as I'm in that new game mood.
unlabelledView post →22nd game "completed" of 2025: Drop Duchy. 7 Easy runs, 12 Normal, 13 Hard - this feels like the right stopping point. There is extreme and nightmare 😬 (challenge modes as well), but I get the loop and have no desire to push my luck. This was a great experience. Simple, yet nuanced. Complex - - -
unlabelledView post →I kept thinking 'geez Drop Duchy REALLY reminds me of some old old game sensibility I haven't seen since then' and finally figured it out after 3 hours -- the 'battle' ending reminds me of the end-battles of Oasis (2005), with little symbols running around the map burning stuff. good times.

unlabelledView post →I think most people wouldn't argue about this game being marketed as a roguelike (other than roguelike traditionalists). In that case, is Tetris a roguelike? If not, what makes Drop Duchy a roguelike and Tetris not one?

unlabelledView post →I can't understate this: the approach to metaphor is immaculate in this game. It tells a thousand important stories with a single nonsense one. All of it driven by a fun engaging puzzle that has me side-eyeing Drop Duchy as "unnecessarily complex". GET THIS GAME!
unlabelledView post →Today's indie game: Drop Duchy (store.steampowered.com/app/2525310/...). I know what you're thinking: you wish there were a Slay-the-Spire-like where the core mechanic is Tetris crosseed with Carcassonne. Okay, no you weren't, but that's what this is and it works better than it has any reason to.
