About the Game

Legend of Grimrock is a dungeon crawling role playing game with an oldschool heart but a modern execution. A group of prisoners are sentenced to certain death by exiling them to the secluded Mount Grimrock for vile crimes they may or may not have committed. Unbeknownst to their captors, the mountain is riddled with ancient tunnels, dungeons and tombs built by crumbled civilizations long perished now. If they ever wish to see daylight again and reclaim their freedom the ragtag group of prisoners must form a team and descend through the mountain, level by level.

The game brings back the oldschool challenge with highly tactical real-time combat and grid-based movement, devious hidden switches and secrets as well as deadly traps and horrible monsters. Legend of Grimrock puts an emphasis on puzzles and exploration and the wits and perception of the player are more important tools than even the sharpest of swords could be. And if you are a hardened dungeon crawling veteran and you crave an extra challenge, you can arm yourself with a stack of grid paper and turn on the Oldschool Mode which disables the luxury of the automap! Are you ready to venture forth and unravel the mysteries of Mount Grimrock?

Key Features:

Explore a vast network of ancient tunnels, discover secrets and find a way to survive in the perilous dungeons of Mount Grimrock.
Cast spells with runes, craft potions with herbs and fight murderous monsters with a wide variety of weaponry.
Create a party of four characters and customize them with different races, classes, skills and traits.
Pure blooded dungeon crawling game with grid-based movement and thousands of squares riddled with hidden switches, pressure plates, sliding walls, floating crystals, forgotten altars, trapdoors and more.
Includes the following digital extras: a beautifully crafted game manual, Legend of Grimrock world map, custom made grid paper, Grimrock theme music, art sheets illustrating foul creatures of Grimrock, and Almost Human team photo.

This is an old school dungeon crawler that is an homage to games like Wizardry. It’s a wonderful game that balances the old school difficulty with better quality of life improvements one would expect from a game made this century. I really need to play the sequel. I’ve got nearly 100 unplayed games, so it might be a while.

This is one I wish I could vote "Meh" on. It's not bad, but it's not that good, either. It's a puzzle dungeon above all else and while I like puzzles, this one had far too many of them that frequently took you out of the game itself. The predecessors of this kind of game created an ambiance of terror and jump-scares, with puzzles being in the background. This one relied more on setting up increasingly vague puzzles at the expense of the fun of battle and exploring, never knowing what's around the next corner. Unfortunately, I lost interest around the 5th level.
