DROD is a relatively unknown series with a small, dedicated following. I played the first DROD game on a windows 98 shareware disc back in 2000, and if not for that, I don't think I would have ever heard of it.
It is a turn-based dungeon-crawling puzzle game, and on each turn the player can either move one tile, or rotate their sword around them by one tile (out of the 8 surrounding tiles). It seems simple at first, but the game constantly introduces new mechanics and enemies to keep things interesting.
The overall aesthetic style of the game may not be for everyone, but it's unique and has a lot of character.
I'd suggest starting with the fourth game: DROD: Gunthro and the Epic Blunder, since it's a bit more modern and accessible (I'm reviewing this one because it's the only game in the series I've actually finished thus far)
