About The Druid
STORY
Long ago, the Celts and their culture ruled much of the land. But various natural disasters and invasions by other peoples decimated their population and brought their culture to the brink of extinction. Before this, the Celtic gods were devastated but accepted the fate that had been imposed on them. All except the evil Morrigan, who decided to corrupt the much-revered land of the Celts to prevent that fate.
The Druid is a roguelike 2D platform game where we play as a druid, created from Dagda, whose mission is to stop Morrigan and free the land of its corruption.

Hardly a finished game. I'm not a game developer but I would not have posted this on Steam with how buggy and clunky the controls are and how uninteresting the overall gameplay loop is. It's free, yeah, but it's still not good.
great game i love the animation
I like the premise and art style of this cute lil' side scroller, and you can't beat "free"!
a fun little game good for a bored afternoon
Just no. Nothing about this free game is any good. The levels are samey and feel almost procedurally generated, the enemy variety is non-existant, enemies in general just feel random. Combat is dull and everything just feels "off". The "upgrade" system is ... strange, to say the least, and the first boss is ... well. It'd be nice to know when you take contact damage and when not, but even then it's just a VERY basic fight. Since this is free, you can't really complain much, but there's also no need to subject yourself to play this, imho.
