The Legend of Grimrock Website announces the release of Almost Human's dungeon crawler, which is available at a 10% discount from their site, GOG.com and Steam. Here's a release trailer, and here's a bit on 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?

Loving the game, too bad it unlocked rather late for me yesterday and I couldnt get to play for more than 45 minutes or thereabouts before band practice. Just about enough to create my kickass party (Minotaur Fighter, Human Fighter, Insectoid Mage, Lizardman Rogue) and kill (and eat) my first snail. The Minotaur liked the crunchy bits...
I strongly recommend creating your own party from scratch.
Even though I bought the game as a stopgap between now and D3, I have a feeling Im going to plow through it and will want more afterwards!!!! 
From what Ive read on the site the mod tools wont be that robust, they will release them in stages but the simple smooth engine is probably a dream to work in and textures, monsters and the like should be a piece of cake...
If you like gameplay driven RPGs, especially old-school RPGs this game is for you! Dont think about it, buy it now.
Anyone know how to change the school of spells in the rune menu? So far my spells are fizzling, Im experimenting but maybe Im doing it with a school I have no points in. |
