About the Game

Grendel’s Cave is a top-down 2D pixel-art adventure game. Its setting is the Old English text Beowulf, Norse mythology, and the historical early 6th century Scandinavian warrior culture. Grendel's Cave is based on the legacy online dotcom game, GrendelsCave, which was one of the first on-line browser-based adventure games. Now Beowulf brings you this adventure as a real-time interactive 2D game for PC and Mac. In Grendel's Cave you create Thanes, kill monsters, increase value, stats and magic, and collect items. You obtain gold rings by selling items or by Singing of Deeds before King Hrothgar. You gain magical abilities by visiting the Witch and by acquiring magical items. This leads you to complete the five quests, earn amulet pieces, and craft a full amulet. Wearing this amulet gives you the power to kill Grendel and win the game.

I've been following this developer on their web based game since the late 90s. I have very little time in this game so far, but if the quality is similar to the first Grendel's Cave game I played, this will be a big hit for myself personally! Looking forward to exploring more to see the differences and similarities hidden within this gem of a game! Thanks Beo for all of the years of memories!

Maybe around 2050 GC will go 3D! Seriously though, there may still be some rough edges but they almost lend to the charm and this absolutely keeps the spirit of Grendel's Cave alive. Great job and thanks for all your years of hard work and dedication to this incredible enterprise, Beo! -GD

A great reimagining of long running browser-based mud.

Great gamification of the well renowned epic... If you like RPGs with story and purpose you will love it. There's tons of weapons and armor sets to choose from which offer great variance and replay value... and to be honest it has much more in it than it costs...

I loved the the original browser edition. The simplistic manner of levelling up always drew me back to this game over the past 20 or so years. Oh! and the stacking your equipment with enchantments! It was always so satisfying getting your first stoning weapon. The witch and the dragon were always like gambling, which I think is appealing to many Growing up, I wasn't even aware there was quests, or regions. All I knew was Cave... (p.s. I'm amused that I can Dark Souls myself by jumping off an edge in this version)

Fun little game. Grew up playing the web version. Love to see it's still being supported.
