The story

Guide Beethro Budkin, professional dungeon pest exterminator, as he goes up against the Rooted Empire in a race against time under the looming Grand Event. Beethro is always fond of saying "there is no problem that can't be solved with a really big sword," but he will need to use a variety of fresh new weapons and tactics to win the day this time against a dire threat. This is the climactic chapter in Beethro's adventures in the Great Beneath.

✦ AI summary

DROD: The Second Sky is hailed by its fanbase as one of the best puzzle games ever made, offering exceptional puzzle design that pushes the series to new heights with consistently inventive mechanics and clever challenges. The main criticisms center on its substantial length and difficulty curve—players warn that the game introduces new mechanics throughout while demanding mastery of previous concepts, which can lead to exhaustion, though it's recommended to pace yourself through it.

Recommended Jan 29, 2026
A puzzle masterpiece. If you haven't played the previous games, go look up Gunthro And The Epic Blunder as the starting point. If you have played some of the games and are wondering if this is worth it: YES. YES IT IS WORTH EVERY CENT EVEN AT FULL PRICE! I have sunk a lot of time into this series and have love/hated every second of it.

One of the best puzzle games ever made! I'm glad these are all finally on Steam! :)
Recommended Jan 12, 2025
Overall Id recommend this if youve played through and enjoyed the other Drod games. Personally I think this one overstays itself a bit, which for a puzzle game of this difficulty means i was quite exhausted by the time credits rolled (and the was STILL enough optional content to fill another game in itself!). Part of this comes from the length, but part of it comes from the fact that each level still introduces new Drod mechanics while expecting you to remember all the tricks and intricacies of the previous installments. If you arent intimidated by all of that, my advice would be to pace yourself with this one, maybe take a break and come back in a month if things get tiring. Some of the best puzzles in the series are here, but it certainly makes you work for it!
Recommended Nov 23, 2024
I'm a big fan of the DROD series, and this game takes the puzzles to 11. Fortunately, after 60 hours or so I was able to tap out at the "bad" ending, since I wasn't able to figure out the super nasty puzzles needed for the "good" ending or the super super nasty puzzles for 100%.
Recommended May 27, 2024
The best puzzle game ever created.
Recommended Mar 9, 2024
more DROD. Play the second one first (JTRH) to get into the series. Nothing else like it. Even the weird cartoon style starts to grow on you. But for someone who likes both puzzles and adventures this is practically the perfect synthesis.
