DRUIDSTONE DIFFICULTY SEEMS RIDICULOUS !
Pour le Français ? Désolé pas pour l'instant… Challenging, Unbalanced, Hard !
Druidstone Difficulty is actually one of the main subjects if you go to the Community Hub on Steam ! The Creators from Ctrl Alt Ninja have taken a new road, from their famous Dungeon Crawler Legend of Grimrock, to this Tactical RPG with a Steep Learning Curve !
Impossible to Win ?
Druidstone Difficulty… Frankly when you launch the game, it does look nice with cutie characters and funny dialogs 🙂 And then the first mission starts… And you retry it 5 times ! Because you want to Fulfill the Bonus Objective… But it Fucking Looks Impossible ! No kidding i literally spent 20 minutes on the very first mission to get it ! Is it a Tactical RPG or a Puzzle Game ???
NO IT'S TACTICAL…
- But the 5 first missions are a Pain in the Ass !
- Trust me… the beginning of this game is NOT Enjoyable !
- You literally have to Think “Puzzle Game” over Tactical !
- And that's why SO MANY players complained about it
- Because passed this stage… The game is Enjoyable 🙂
HELPFUL TIPS
Here are some Hints below
Please Share them to your Friends
- At the beginning Think “Survival“, NOT Experience
- By the end of the 5th Mission, you'll become Stronger
- So You'll have all the time to Replay all Missions later
- Play in HARD Mode ! though the start of the game
is really hard, it really becomes easier by Mission 6. - About Money… There is an Item you can buy early,
giving you Unlimited Coins by Replaying Mission 1. - Many missions have a Limited number of Spawns,
even if you think it never stops… There's a limit ! - If you can handle the Waves, you'll clean the map.
- When there is a Bottleneck (door, small passage)
Use this to lure and kill the enemies one by one ! - A few missions have Unlimited Spawns, Careful !
Replays are a Must
for Bonus Objectives
No Shame in Replays
- It's not Easy to get All the Bonus Objectives
- That's why you can Replay every Missions !
- Don't hesitate to Replay them twice, to get the
Bonus one by one if there are many to win. - Don't worry, You won't become too powerful !
The more you Replay the less XP you get 🙂
UNLIMITED SPAWNS
- a Few missions have Unlimited monster spawns
- It means the Mission is designed to “RUN“
- So if you're too slow… You'll be overwhelmed !
- Many players who like to take their time and play
relaxed, have complained about it on Steam… - I think it's a good idea to Break the Routine, as it
brings a sort of Timer Challenge to the mission. - Survival and Relaxed Tactics are quite different 😉
Druidstone Difficulty even bigger
When you think it's over… There's More !

REGULAR UPDATES
- We can really Praise the Developers Reactivity !
- It's not AAA Game, but there are 2 updates per week !
- They understand more than anyone else, the importance
of Good Customer Satisfaction, so they listen and Fix ! - This Keen behavior from the Team, is translated by
New Positive Notes and Feedbacks every day !
The Best Skills
- Always Position your Warden to use Guard !
- Don't underestimate your Basic Teleport Ability
- Focus literally raise spells to the next level !
- Regenerate allows you to go for Endurance Battles
- Crowd Control Spells like Forcefield, Sleep, Freeze
or MindControl are just a “Must Take” to Survive ! - Free Movements Abilities like Dash and Shift, are
very important for missions including “Timers“
Synergy of Skills
Choose Carefully ! (Click to Enlarge)
Frankly there are some situations…
Where i don't know how i got out alive !

Outnumbered
- At first most fights will seem very unfair !
…That's until you figure out how to Win 😉 - Sometimes you have to sacrifice a member,
just in order to buy yourself time to prevail ! - Remember that a Knocked-out member
can always be brought back to life ! - Though… Avoiding Knock-outs during the
mission, can be part of the Bonus Goals 😉 - From a mission to one another, you can
completely reorganize your Skills Sets.
Is it Cracked ?
- Like 99% of games released on Steam, it was on Day 1 !
- Will it hurt their business ? I don't know, all i hope is the
positive feedbacks are coming from paying customers. - In the past some little gems like Paper Sorcerer were
badly hurt by piracy… Resulting in Dev Giving up. - Anyway remember that you'll get the latest game
updates faster by paying, than to wait for new cracks. - As of 05/27/19, Druidstone is updated to 1.0.24, and
latest crack is 4 updates old ! (always better to pay)
SCREENSHOTS
- Don't let Druidstone Difficulty crush your motivation
- Passed the first difficult stages, you'll understand
the game mechanics and begin to enjoy the game ! - There are only 35 missions ingame, but trust me
these will take hours to complete on Hard Mode. - Like there was a sequel to Legend of Grimrock,
i really hope to see a sequel to Druidstone. - The Devs of Grimrock know how to keep us
entertained, and Druidstone is no exception - The game can be bought for 21€ ($24 ?),
and for its lifetime it's certainly a Good Price !
Pictures are better than anything
If you like what you see, you'll like it !
You're the Boss here !

Difficult !
If you like Druidstone, there are 2 other games you might fall in love with ! First is Age of Decadence and the 2nd (designed by the same studio) is Dungeon Rats. Both are Challenging Tactical Rpgs ! They have been created by the Iron Tower Studio, and they're like the “Dark Souls” of Tactical Rpgs 😉
Developers have to be paid for their hard work !
