Bad combat screws the game experience

To put it simple, the combat system and the large amount of enemies is a deal breaker for me. Legend of Grimrock wants to emulate the old school feeling, but far from it. Exploration wise, it is (just) ok, but unfortunately, there are too many monsters and they are way too puwerful. Basically, your entire party of 4 can barely survive two skeletons face to face in the first levels. Some people might say "use the grid to your advantadge", but no classic dungeon crawler forces you to literally flee from monsters continuously. Eye of The Beholder, you can fight enemies without kitting for the most part. Lands Of Lore, you can face-to-face enemies from the beginning. Dungeon Master, you can do the same. But Legend of Grimrock is different, and for the worst, so most of the time you will see yourself focusing 80% on combat and scared of enemies than actual exploration. Also, the environments are too monotonous and soon you will get tired of the same kind of atmosphere that will be repeated ad-nausem. A game that does this well is Dungeon of the Dragon Knight, where combat is secondary, doable and entertaining, exploration feels rewarding and environments change often.

Different and Awesome

I'm up to about the 4th level....and loving this game....sure it's heard it's fair share of abuse from me yelling at it cause I died.....but I'm still having fun. Some ppl may not like the fact that u have to ration health/poison/disease potions out and watch carefully which potions u make and how much food u have left....but I rekon it makes it more fun and interesting. I really like the magic system.....it's not just learn a spell and click the button....I'm really enjoying it. Most games quickly bore me and I end up finishing them eventually.....but this game keeps me coming back for more.

Perspective view classic dungeon crawl

Yes the game is hard, yeas there are some imbalances and yes getting through fights is no small feat and requires you to drink potions more than a drunk. This is a game for hard core gamers missing the oldies like Eye of the Beholder. Those dungeons crawl are repetitive, yanking chains can become tedious after a while but for some reason the game still is fun even if it is gonna cost you a few hairs. I can understand why some people might not like this type of game, Legend of Grimrock is an anachronism and by today's standards it might come off as a sucky game for some. If you among those who miss the old AD& D games of the 90's, this game is for you and don't complain about the repetitive and hard gameplay, even that has been carbon copied from the 90's.

A Gold but Rusty Dungeon Crawler

Legend of Grimrock is a first-person tile-based RPG in the vein of Wizardry and Eye of the Beholder. You make your party from the ground-up, while it is all-around solid the customization is lacking: you only have picks between 4 races and 3 classes, though skills and spells are nicely varied and there is a solid alchemy system. You play as up to four prisoners thrown into a huge mountain and you need to get out... That almost is it for story. There is a much larger focus on gameplay and it is extremely fun classic dungeon crawling fighting, exploring, and spell casting goodness... To a point. The game's biggest flaw is its puzzles... Some are fun, a lot are creative, but a majority of them are confusing and tedious to the absolute max. By far the most horrible are the timing puzzles involving button presses and/or throwing items at the right moment, the demand for such precision and speed in a tile-based game with incredibly clunky controls is frustrating to say the least. Thankfully very few of these puzzles are mandatory, but they always have some sort of great reward. The sadistic design really discouraged me from checking out any optional treasures and side-quests. I really wanted to love this game or at least give it a 4 out of 5. However the utterly sadistic puzzles really discourage side missions which hurts the game's already piddling replay value due to the severely linear levels and simple character creation. Plus many of the dungeons also commit the cardinal sin of RPGs: being disorienting and labyrinthine mazes that are only somewhat helped with a map. You can find a lot to enjoy in this game, but just like with RPGs of old you have to trudge through lot of arbitrary difficulty between every good bit. If you like the sound of this game but are really on the fence, then go get Legend of Grimrock 2. It is basically this game improved in every imaginable way, from more character customization to better dungeon design to puzzles that aren't total crap.
