Legend of Grimrock Gold

The Legend of Grimrock Blog has news that Almost Human's dungeon crawler is gold, and will presumably soon be released for Windows and OS X. The announcement speaks of their plans for an editor, an iOS version, and being destitute: "It’s been a long and challenging journey but we have finally reached this important milestone. But we don’t think it’s the end of the road, more like a fork in the road with ways branching into all sorts of interesting directions: iOS, Mac, map editor, sequel, new IP, living in a dumpster totally broke…"

Short and sweet, just how I like it. I have enough 30 hour games on my list that I've only played 10 hours of. As long as it's priced accordingly, and the game looks great.

Hell Yes! I've been looking forward to this game for months. For those who complain about the 10 hour length, grab some graph paper and play it in hardcore mode (no automap). This comment was edited on Mar 24, 2012, 16:11.

The original Wizardry only had 10 levels... but took forever to get through. That was due to how hard it was to get through a level without going back up to town to sell your stuff and rez your dead party members. That said... I may wait until it's released and folks can give an estimate of how short it really is. If it's real short... I'll probably only buy the IOS version, then.

TBH, I wouldn't want that with random dungeons. There are enough of those around. A good handcrafted dungeon crawl, where thought was put into each level, puzzle, trap and encounter design hasn't been around for a while.

Eye of the Beholder 1 had even less at only 12 levels. But still it was a solid game that many people put a lot of time into. Eye of the Beholder 2 had 15 levels, only ONE more than Dungeon Master. And yet MANY people would swear if felt like a LOT more than that.. Seriously where did YOU get your old school Dungeon crawl fix? Might and Magic series. Those games were often huge. That is what I was hoping for. Eye of the Beholder was pretty good, so I'll give you that. EOB lasted longer than ten hours though. We'll see.

I recall Seeing one of the devs say It's 10+ hours on the first playthrough. As awesome as it would be for it to be longer, they are just four guys you can't expect too much, otherwise we may never have seen it.

This is an indie team, and we've not played the final product. Give them a chance.

15 levels, really? Excuse me while I go back to Angband and go down 100 to kill Morgoth.

I'm not sure if you can figure length by level. But I read this is only 10 hours long.

The only issue I've heard is the length, seems ultra short for that style of game. That said, I'm still supporting it. Another game I started playing is Dungeons of Dredmor as many know that is a crazy good throw back game as well.

I do too. (Though more like M&M3-5) This game is much more like Eye of the Beholder or Dungeon Master though. Stonekeep, if you don't mind that game sucking. Really looking forward to it and hope it takes off.
