A first-person dungeon crawler for Playdate in the vein of classics such as Dungeon Master and Eye of the Beholder. Expect lots of environments to explore, enemies to defeat, weapons and items and magic to wield, and puzzles to solve!
Etad is an arcade adventure/exploration game crafted around the limitations of the Playdate. You won’t get bothered with stats, inventory tetris or party management; instead expect pick-up-and-play hack’n’slash dungeon crawling with light puzzles and combat.
Every dungeon in Legend of Etad is unique and hand-crafted, with distinct art and game mechanics, and are linked together by outdoor “hub” areas. Each new area you discover will feel different from the last.
Etad was developed using tooling made with Unity for the content pipeline, and the Playdate Lua SDK for the engine.

What players are saying about Legend of Etad: #

It’s insane how well this controls, and how fluid the game itself is, walking around and exploring feels illegal on the playdate. I was dreaming of a game like this for the console – @BummerOfGeorge, Reddit

Legend of Etad is dope. Can’t wait to spend more time with it, but it’s got “Killer App” written all over it

Thank you for making Legend of Etad!! I’m loving it! Big nostalgia! I haven’t played a game like this since I was a kid messing with MS-DOS games! It’s awesome!
