Legend of Grimrock is a dungeon crawling role playing game with an oldschool heart mated with modern execution. A group of prisoners are sentenced to certain death by exile to the secluded Mount Grimrock for vile crimes they may or may not have committed. Unbeknownst to the captives, the mountain is riddled with ancient tunnels, dungeons and tombs built by crumbled civilizations of days long past. 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 an 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 would 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 for some classic dungeon-crawling first person perspective party-based RPG action? Are you ready to venture forth and unravel the mysteries of Mount Grimrock?

Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
the combat system is not good
everything else is just ok
I didn't like the enemies and just hacking slashing and throwing rocks loses its cool in about 20 minutes of gameplay.... I had more fun playing wizardry 6 lol
Im giving this game 4 stars for the moment because, for me, turned based combat would be a better choice, especially given the spell casting system. To cast a spell you have to open a menu, click a rune combination then click the cast button. Graphics, puzzles and monsters are all really good. The game looks fantastic. I did not like the character portrait art, that is important to me.
I have to admit I never played those oldschool games people here are so fond of. but I have seen this game on pre-order a month ago and it looked interesting, so I ordered it. I usually play modern RPGs (Dragon Age, Gothic series, Oblivion). Now that I had my first hour of play time, I actually quite like it. Its different from my usual games, and very nice for a change.
After a few hours of play, I finally died for the first time on Normal difficulty. I thought I would take that time to reflect on my first descent...you see, I just can't go back into Grimrock right away. I need a break from those claustrophobic corridors, giant snails, and the soulless Skeleton warriors.
My point? This game can get a bit scary at times...
Play with headphones cranked and the lights off and you are in for a great and sometimes exhausting time.
You can create 4 characters or start with a pre-rolled party. Items come steadily and secrets abound!
The classes you can choose from seem fairly robust with some depth to your leveling choices. I am trying a monk build with one of my fighters (Unarmed/Evasion stack), while my other fighter is more traditional with Armor skills and Axes.
Great graphics and sound, simple to pick up and play.
After I beat this game, I know I am going to be a little sad.
More dungeons plz...
Dungeon Master and others (Bloodwych, EOB, Wizardry...) can celebrate this day, The family has a new honorable member named Legend of Grimrock!
...Now i have to find a light spell...
