The humorous Rogue-like roleplaying game Dungeons of Dredmor is getting another expansion soon, called “Conquest of the Wizardlands”, which will cost a mere $2.99 USD.
According to developer Gaslamp Games, ”For the past four months, a secret strike team of game development commandos has been secretly crafting arcane components into something for you… something about wizards. Something about their lands. Yes, this summon you must join the Conquest Of The Wizardlands.”
The new downloadable content will include the following features:
-
Explore the Wizardlands! Trade Wizarding Graffiti with your friends and enemies alike to gain access to the fractured extra-dimensional domains of the Wizards using an innovative retro-inspired magic password system.
-
Harness the expanded storage space of your very own Pocket Dimension where interdimensional gnomes probably won’t steal all your crafting-junk.
-
Encrust your Equipment with our powerful new Encrusting System! Upgrade weapons and armour with powerful crusts, offering special abilities and horrifying instability effects as crust is encrusted upon crust!
-
Tackle new foes from the terrifyingly fun Baron Samedi to the small and annoying Cloud Gremlins who shoot small and annoying lightning bolts at you! Beware the Monstrous Rutabaga, scourge of the Vikings, who will run you down at unexpected speed with the monstrous dash ability.
-
Drunkenness!
-
New trophy screens, including a rewrite of the achievement system for off-line play (and people not using Steam)
-
Two new weapon types: Daggers and Polearms! (No really, they’re not Swords and Staves anymore!)
-
A whole WHACK of new Skills: Daggers, Polearms, Bankster, Communist, Paranormal Investigator, Magical Law, and more!
-
Minibosses!
-
A small, pleasant handful of usability fixes! (Which everyone with the core game will get for free, naturally.)
-
Enhanced sneakiness, monster sight cones, and alertness levels for more roguish gameplay! The only thing missing is a box you can carry around to hide in — unless you count an extra-dimensional box (see the first item in this list).
-
Diggle Hell. It’s a real place.
Dungeons of Dredmor was released on the 13th July 2011, and earned an 8.8/10 score from Strategy Informer’s review.
