Dropcast: spell slinging, Singapore style

Dropcast is the first DS game made in Singapore, released in Sept 2008 by Mikoishi. Unfortunately, it was released to very little fanfare here and abroad.

The curse of the indie company is that they have far less resources than the big game publishers, and often the public’s perception of indie games is that they are light on production values.

Luckily, with Dropcast, this isn’t the case. This head-to-head super collapse variant didn’t skimp in terms of art design and music. I’m not the biggest of puzzle fans, and sure, the game is a retooled variant of a popular game, but I think Dropcast is worth a look.
