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.
I've never really played this type of game before and i gotta say its really imersive and tense. Looking forward to spending more time with this wee gem.
Great old school dungeon crawl that looks great and plays better.
Sometimes fiendishly difficult and packed with mind tricking puzzles. Satisfying and tense, you get to die a lot!
My only gripe for it is that it seriously needs a quicksave feature.
A+++++ Well worth the price!
The developers have got it exactly right. They have made a prettified version of Dungeon Master, which is exactly what old-school players, with fond memories of that game and similar ones, want. The elements are all there - grid-based movement but real-time attacks, hidden switches on walls, puzzles involving levers, keys and pressure plates. On top of that the graphics are gorgeous, free-look using mouse feels good, flickering torches add a lot of ambience, user interface is convenient and well designed, and I really appreciate how level 1 of the dungeon introduces the mechanics of the game. I was contemplating calling in sick today just so that I can play more of this gem!
If you were a fan of the Eye of the Beholder series, you will absolutely love this game. Make sure you turn off the automap in settings before starting the game. Playing old-school and mapping the dungeons yourself brings back so many memories. Also make sure to check the other downloads for the game, as they even have printable Grimrock graph paper!
There's no better place to buy this game than Good Old Games. No matter the game came out yesterday. It's a definition of old school. When you type that into Google you should get a screen from the Legend of Grimrock!
This game has this marvellous syndrome of "one more corner to look around". It has this incredible feeling of mystery, without any cheap tricks. The climate is awesome. Sure there are things that we could complain about (not too wide variety of opponents, repetitive surroundings) but the whole rest makes for it in 100%.
I don't regret a single penny spent on it!
