Day 3! I'm not doing too badly I think, haven't missed a day yet! Though this is a late one, blame my cousin for being born 14 years ago today.....
Desktop Dungeons is a game that you can play a full session of in about 15 minutes, and is great as a short time waster/something to do whilst you drink your choice of hot (or not!) beverage. You start by choosing a class to play as (anyone who's played some form of RPG will know what I'm on about) and you get put into a randomly generated dungeon to fight your way through and kill all the monsters! Simple enough...
Or is it? You start at level one and as such you can only effectively fight characters who are level one too! Maybe level two if you're careful about it. Monsters of various levels between one and ten are strewn throughout the dungeon and you need to fight them in a way that lets you level up to match the levels of the remaining monsters. I probably haven't described that well at all, but it's late so cut me some slack please :). Just play the game! Its pretty self explanatory in the end
As you complete dungeons with various classes you unlock new classes to play with, so there's always something to do. There's a lot more to the game than I'm getting into here because A) There's a lot to it and B) I'm very tired. Again, just go play it!
The developer has two versions of this game, the first is freeware which you can just download and play, or the paid version which has more content, but obviously costs money. Both versions are available at www.desktopdungeons.net. Personally I just caved and bought the paid version, but my download link hasn't arrived yet... Even so, the free version is good enough to convince me to part with money, so take from that what you will!
Just play it! Takes about 15 minutes, has tactical gameplay and the random element that keeps the game fresh. Play it!
P.S Fraps is playing up, so I can't get screenshots right now. I'll update this when I've either fixed it or have the patience to screenshot it all and crop it manually....ugh
Over halfway now! I might just manage this yet...
'Til Tomorrow....
