The fourth instalment in Caravel Games’ long-running DROD franchise has been released in the form of DROD 4: Gunthro and the Epic Blunder.

While the game’s title may suggest that it’s a sequel, don’t be fooled. It’s actually a prequel to the events that unfolded in the series’ other games, recounting the tale of Gunthro Budkin, grandfather of series stalwart Beethro. As with its predecessors, however, DROD 4 is a puzzle/adventure game, decked out with over 350 puzzle areas, dozens of characters and enemies and over 60 minutes’ worth of in-game music from synth pop artist Jon Sonnenburg.

Caravel is promising that DROD 4 will be the most accessible DROD game yet to newcomers to the franchise, helped in no small part by the integration of an online hints system, a smoother learning curve and a more forgiving layout. Seasoned veterans, on the other hand, will still be challenged by an array of extra secrets and additional bamboozling quests.

The game can be purchased through Caravel Games’ official site, with a free demo also available for download.
