From the defunct DodgySoft website:
DD2 is, unsurprisingly, the sequel to DD1. The look and feel is therefore similar to that of the first game. However a number of significant improvments have been made to the game system:
DD2 features a new story line (unconnected to that of DD1). It takes place over 4 continents and ~130 levels.
- The game features non linear gameplay - feel free to explore (there are tons of side missions, secret areas and off the beaten track oddities to discover).
- There is now a proper skill system. There are 11 skills available from Pick Locks, to Dual Weapons to Curse to Gemlore.
- Monster AI has also be greatly improved (DD2 uses the A* pathfinding algorithm).
- Monsters now have proper abilities (called 'powers'): they can shoot arrows and cast spells.
- Speaking of arrows, missile combat has been implemented in DD2 (there were no missile weapons in DD1).
- Also new is mp3 quality music (if you choose to download the 'music pack').
- The level editor is more useful and much better laid out. It's now possible to completely design your own campaign using the editor, inclusing importing new item, tile and monster pics.
- A Bag of Holding has been implemented - characters can now carry twice as much once they have purchased the bag.
- There are also 'super' monsters: 3x3 tiles in size!

This here is what modern mmo's and rpgs should learn from.
cool game
Really good game, very immersive and captivating if you give it a chance. It's a real RPG, with different solutions for many problems based on your character's abilities. It features a giant world with different climates and cultures. It has very interesting puzzles and a well done RPG-system where you can specialize your character very individually. Combat is fun and well done as well. I totally recommand this game to very RPG-fan. It managed to get me busy for many weeks last year.
There are two campaigns for DD2 http://ancient-architects.com/?page_id=117 particularly Temple of Infinity is very well crafted
Try this app for windows mode, also all the sluggishness under Win10 is solved by it. There is a special configuration file for DD2 in the export folder, just import it and set the proper path to your exe file. It works :-)

The game runs very sluggishly for me. Each click or button press takes 2-3 seconds to respond. Anyone else facing the same problem? I am running Windows 10.
Just started playing, and despite this game being rather old, and old looking. It's very enjoyable and has some amusing parts to it.
I'm looking at you Elder Jam Horror.
Awesome!
Awesome game totally recommended
This shuld be a new site for DD, but there is no real content, only text info, partly copied from the old web.. The stuff is no more downloadable.. :-( It's a pity, both DD1 and DD2 are great games!
DD2 was originally programmed by Laurens Lafebre, but he has moved on to other endeavors now.
Wow this was released in 2009? Who made these games?
