Building City Blocks | Drop Duchy (Tetris Block Settlement Builder - Demo)
234Drop Duchy is a game which is part settlement builder and part... Tetris?
We build our settlements by dropping various Tetris-block shaped bits of land into what looks like a classic Tetris grid. Some blocks are plains that generate food, some are forests that generate wood and others are special buildings, such as farms or woodcutters, each with their own unique abilities.
If we complete a row then hurrah, we get bonus resources!
As we play we earn new buildings and powers to help us pick up more resources, and we can also upgrade existing cards to make them better.
However, there are also enemies that we have to deal with, and just like our special buildings they too have their own special placement rules, we have to make sure we place them in such a way as to make them as ineffective as possible.
But can we choose the right path through the world and defeat the Big Boss at the Big Wall?
NOTE: This is the demo version of the game.

Drop Duchy takes on the iconic geometric puzzle gameplay we all know and love with a fresh perspective: instead of simply clearing lines, you'll be thoughtfully building a realm using pieces of various shapes and types to overcome enemy challenges.
A mix of deckbuilding, puzzle and rogue-lite, the game offers a new gameplay designed to hone your appetite as a block-stacking tactician. Optimization is key to collecting precious resources, protecting your castle, and building your army.
Defeat is not the end, though: use the experience gained in previous runs to unlock even more content!
In each round of your run, Drop Duchy offers you a fresh and unique landscape to work with. Place tile pieces as you would in a typical block-dropping game but with a strategic twist: you need to align them to maximize their activation rules, producing maximum resources and units.
Selecting the optimal structures to place next to blocks of lush forests, wild rivers or grassy plains is crucial for maximizing your materials use and nurturing a bustling realm.
Forming lines grants bonuses, yet the ultimate goal is to pack up the most resources gradually. These resources will be crucial to build up your army bit by bit, ensuring your kingdom is well-protected against the enemy threats.
Grow in power with a rich deckbuilding system: build and enhance constructions with over 110 unique cards, each offering powerful upgrades and modifiers. Unlock new possibilities when using building or technology cards, each granting new bonus structures to boost soldier recruitment & various other perks. Customize your deck to suit your strategy and optimize your realm’s growth.
Drop Duchy features a robust meta progression system with over 100 unique misssions! Climb the ranks and unlock various bonuses such as increased resources, new cards or additional health.
These missions are intertwined with the three playable factions: The Duchy, The Republic, and The Order, each offering exclusive faction quests that grant faction-specific rewards. Completing these objectives across your runs not only tailors your strategy but also improves your chances of success, ensuring that every playthrough contributes to your long-term progression and victory.
