Description

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.

I was hoping for a true dungeon crawler similar to "The Bard's Tale" or "Might & Magic: World of Xeen". This is a game of moving in circles trying to hit the enemy while moving sideways out of their way just in time to

Good game. Played it through a few times to 100% the achievements. Some puzzles are frustrating, but in a good way. I would tell you more - but figuring things out on your own is a lot more fun.

Really cool game, pretty much modern Eye of the Beholder, even the secret buttons use exact or similar pattern. Anyone who enjoys dungeon crawlers/blobbers should like it, a dozen of levels, multiple spells, items and

I absolutely loved Wizardry style rpgs, but, legend of grimrock is something else. Sure it looks absolutely beautiful for a game that's a decade old, you can tell from my mileage it's a serious drag. (even if it

what a game! Feels like wizardry but without all the permadeath. I did look up some puzzle solutions but managed most of the easy to mid level stuff on my own. The end boss was a big surprised and I'm very glad to have
