Drop Duchy – Complete Edition – January 28Game Pass / Optimized for Xbox Series X|S / Xbox Play Anywhere
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!
