Delve Deeper is an excellent game. It's smart, unique, easy on the retro-loving eye and, now that the Treasures and Tunnels DLC has been released, pretty huge too. Fresh off the indie forges of Lunar Giant and costing less than one (rapidly devaluating) dollar, Treasures and Tunnels extends the game with 10 new levels -including the brilliantly named Big Orc Candy Mountains- and 25 brand new relics; that is 50% more Delve Deeper maps, 30% more treasure and absolutely no extra fat. Oh, and apparently each level is custom-tailored to be tackled by different teams of dwarfs, whereas each new relic is designed to influence both new and old maps.
You can download Treasures and Tunnels via Steam; it does obviously require that you own Delve Deeper. As for the people still wondering what Delve Deeper is (besides -as already mentioned- excellent and a game), let me just say it's a turn-based, strategy/RPG affair with lovely pixel-art graphics and board-game influences. Here are a couple DLC piccies to further entice you:
It looks great. Pity I don't have any Windows machine right now. :(

@ Barts: What? And you've left the Witcher 2 play itself in the dark? Tsk, my friend, tsk indeed.
ReplyDelete@ Elderly: No, no, no worries. You'll stay here and the good nurse will take care of your knuckles.
Great stuff, I love delve deeper, it is an excellent game - looking forward to adding towers and tunnels too.
ReplyDeleteIndeed Dan, indeed. I will try and have a major write-up on the thing ready within this summer.
ReplyDeleteI bought this and tried playing it a few times but the number of popups and all the text I had to read just to begin the game put me off. I think I moved a dwarf down a tunnel before giving up!
ReplyDeleteI suggest you persevere and give it another try oh xeer2000. I know I did start getting into the thing only after I read the manual and -for me at least- it was absolutely worth it. BTW, you've got a lovely blog there!
ReplyDeleteHmm. I've seen that game around but didn't actually get around to trying. Reminded me of Dwarf Fortress, at least from what I saw. Perhaps I'll give it a try sometime.
ReplyDeleteWell, it does have dwarfs in it dear Ithmeer, but Dwarf Fortress it is definitely not. It's a totally different beast; one that focuses on tactics and board-game like techniques. I suggest you give it a try. It's great, it is.
