Legend of Grimrock is a dungeon crawling RPG in the style of old classics like Dungeon Master and Eye of the Beholder. I played Dungeon Master to death when I was young, so I was really excited to hear about this.
I wanted to spread the word about Grimrock as this genre of game has all but disappeared. It's been made by Almost Human Games, an indie developer made up of just four guys. The game is released on the 11th of April and costs $14.99. However you can pre-order and get a 20% discount. If you pre-order from Almost Human you get a steam key and a stand alone version of the game, not to mention all money will go straight to the developer that way.
Just watched that TB vid solidbebe. I think it looks great. I can't stress enough how much people who have never experienced this type of game before should get this.
Exciting is not the right word for it. It's more about the "what's going to happen if i do this", "how the hell do i get through there", "oh gawd I have one torch left" kind of feeling. I think TB hit the nail on the head when he said "immersive".
From the trailer, this looks like a puzzle game more than anything. Looks like you have strong monsters/bosses that act in set patterns which you can exploit (This occurs in all games, I'm aware, but this seems especially deliberate), such as the giant/ogre thing running himself into the wall.
Iv been waiting for someone to make this thread, im really excited actually. This game looks really interesting. I love the old/new mix, I hope its executed well.
Honestly to me it doesn't look very exciting, but I could see any old school RPG lover enjoying this.
I have neither played these earlier versions of said game type but for me it looks really interesting. I can easily see myself immersed in this and finding my way through the dungeon, what happens if I do this? Trying to find hidden buttons on the wall and so on. Devs seem really awesome as well so really happy to see these things very well remade, if anything modern gaming is definitely going the wrong way in my opinion.
Bumping for HYPE!!! The release is tomorrow, if you havn't already heard about the massive buzz surrounding this game, then you should check it out while you can still get 20% off the preorder ($12!!). Linky
