This is a fun tactical cRPG with a good story, engaging mechanics, and a cool nature-based magic system! It's got a pretty steep learning curve since it's less of a think-on-the-fly game like XCOM and more of a puzzle game where trial and error teaches you the optimal way to complete the level. If you have the patience for it, becoming good enough to beat the game on hard is incredibly satisfying. In my opinion Druidstone a must-play for fans of the genre and holds some surprises in the way of formal experimentation that should be pleasing to veterans.

Really fun turn based dungeon crawler / puzzle game. If you've played the tabletop game Descent: Journeys in the Dark (Second Edition), this is an extremely close approximation of that system in video game form. The combat is deterministic, so it emphasizes strategy and puzzling out how to best use your limited actions to accomplish the mission goals. Some missions have no combat at all and are literally just puzzles, but that's the exception. I love Descent, so this was right up my alley, and I had a great time. Thumbs up, way up.
