About Legend of Grimrock
✦ AI summary
Descend through the monster-filled dungeons of Mount Grimrock as a party of prisoners, solving devious puzzles and navigating grid-based tactical combat to escape the mountain alive. This modern take on classic dungeon crawlers emphasizes exploration and wit over brute force, with secrets hidden around every corner and optional oldschool mode that strips away the automap for veteran players.
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?

[h1] Tribute to classic dungeon crawlers. Control party of 3 characters playing from the first person view. Moving is grid based and turn based (only in combat). Dungeons are nicely done, some include secret passages, rooms and traps beyond all comprehension. Depending on class of your heroes game might be more or less challenging, make sure to have multiple saves. Exploration is the main force that drives you in this type of games along with leveling. Use points to boost stats and keep everyone happy. This was the first real dungeon crawler I ever played from beginning to the end. Game is set in titular Grimrock dungeon. Level design is decent. Enemies require a bit of strategy. Recommended. [/h1]4 found this helpful
A great take on the Dungeon Master game from the Amiga. Highly recommended.1 found this helpful
old school part based dungeon crawler akin to dungeon master, elder scrolls arena, and might & magic. filled to the brim with clever secrets, and head scratching puzzles. Don't bother with the negative reviews, most of them probably have never played a challenging rpg before. worth the $15 and def worth the $2 when its on sale.

If you were a fan of Dungeon Master, this is pretty much a spiritual remake.
