POWDER
filed in Nintendo DS on Jun.06, 2009
I’ve been playing this homebrew game, called POWDER, for the Nintendo DS. It’s a ‘port’ from the previous versions, and is a “Roguelike”. It’s a term given to games that have the same similarities to the original game, ‘Rogue’ (which inspired Diablo!), which is a dungeon crawling game from the 1980’s. I personally have found it very addicting, due to it’s simplicity, yet complexity of it’s gameplay system. It’s a very tactical based game, which contains RPG elements, mixed with real-life functions, such as commands like; ‘Breathe, eat, look, jump, sleep’ etc. It is mixed with a very retro design, keeping the look of the old ‘roguelikes’.

A few online ‘friends’ suggested this little beauty to me a while ago, however I neglected to try it, simply because I did not give a damn
Give it a try if you haven’t already. Only bad things I can say about it, are the various, common graphic glitches etc.
