Rewind is a remake of a traditional roguelike puzzler

The outdated indie darling is again in 3D

Desktop Dungeons, the beloved turn-based roguelike, is coming again with a brand new model. And whereas it may be tough going from a quaint pixel artwork presentation to a extra basic fashionable 3D model (albeit with good new illustrated character artwork), the primary draw was — and may nonetheless be — the puzzle-solving gameplay. Developer QCF Design introduced the 3D remake Desktop Dungeons: Rewind for Steam with an estimated This fall 2022 launch.

According to the crew, “the goal with Desktop Dungeons: Rewind is to bring a game we love to modern devices and modern audiences. For a long time we’ve felt that we’ve under-served players with the resolution choices we made for Desktop Dungeons back in 2011 (!!) and have had to stick with since. This is the perfect opportunity for us to address that, while adding new features to the game to make it smoother and more rewarding to play.”

You can, in reality, rewind

One of the primary new options in Desktop Dungeons: Rewind is the power to rewind your turns whenever you die, with a view to take higher steps within the run-up to the boss.

Success comes right down to realizing when to poke across the darkness, when to select fights, and when to double down — you’ll regain well being and mana by exploring shrouded dungeon tiles, so it pays to maneuver intentionally. If you play it proper, your hero will accumulate a lot of XP on lowly creeps and turn into highly effective sufficient to outlast the boss.

Of course, with totally different courses, gods, standing results, and different “oh huh…interesting” mechanics within the combine, it’s by no means fairly that easy. Over time, you decide up a play model and study to consider the entire little concerns that add as much as a profitable run.

Nowadays, roguelikes and roguelites imply quite a lot of issues to quite a lot of totally different folks, and loads of of us are bored with all however the perfect of ’em. I nonetheless have a gentle spot for Desktop Dungeons. In my thoughts, it’s a puzzle game at its coronary heart, particularly now with rewinds.

The unique game lives on to today (out of curiosity, I checked to see the final time I performed it; 2015), so Rewind isn’t changing something. It’s nonetheless up on Steam.

Interestingly, outdated game saves will probably be “fully compatible” with Desktop Dungeons: Rewind.

QCF Design says to anticipate “hundreds of hours of content, daily online challenges, the amazing soundtrack by Danny Baranowsky and Grant Kirkhope, all the DLC, and more.”
