Legend Of Grimrock
« on: April 15, 2012, 11:43:31 AM »
If you haven't tried this yet, and you are looking for a dungeon crawler (first-person perspective), this is a good one. Plenty of secrets to find, puzzles to solve, and party-based combat. There is also a story, although it is certainly not heavy on dialogue. If anyone remembers the Hunter X Hunter episodes during the Hunter exam where they are trying to descend a mountain/prison tower as a team, it's almost exactly like that.

It's fairly fun. Enjoying it so far, albeit some of the game mechanics are a bit wonky, and it's also a bit on the short side. All in all, a very nice dungeonhack. I like the magic system!

Yep, this one grabbed my attention too. It is short, but it's good while it lasts.

In some ways Grimrock is diametrically opposite of what AVWW is. While AVWW is procedurally generated and everything is different every playthrough, Grimrock's world is all hand crafted with zero variation -- one playthrough is enough to see pretty much everything. And the puzzles are fun and feel old school.

Well, one can argue that you can try different team compositions for more playthroughs, but yeah, it's very linear. So unless you're a dungeon hack fanatic one playthrough is enough.

Finished it last night. Interesting story and some really hair-rippingly hard puzzles abound in this game. I liked it a lot even though I was frustrated to bits some times. I will likely not revisit it any time soon, but almost 20 hours of dungeon crawling felt just right tbh. Well worth the price.

Supposedly they are going to have support for custom maps at some point, so that should give some new life to it. I loved it when I played through it, but the replay value is definitely low. I went through with the default characters once, and then thought I'd give it a try with a custom group, but I only got a couple floors down before other games started looking more fun and I gave up on it.
