Really fun modern retro RPG

I just played it for nearly 5 hours straight from the release and I must admit that I love this RPG. Before release i wasn't deeply interested in this game, preordered it for the cause of supporting a neat looking game with it's developers. Legend of Grimrock doesn't take your hand and helps wherever you get stuck, you have to actually think. From time to time there are hints (far more in the first 2 stages) but most of the time the time you are on your own. It is really fun to explore the levels of the dungeon and to fight against big snails, skeleton warriors, green luminating blobs etc. . I didn't build a party for my own but the standard party is good though. The riddles are cleverly designed and aren't even that obvious to solve. But the feeling of solving them is way better than in any other game i played. Speaking as a non english mothertongue, it's a good thing that this game is easy understandable with knowledge of basic english. The texts aren't that long (mostly notes and short letters)

This is Good New Gaming!

I'm only a couple of hours in, but I'm already in love with Legend of Grimrock! Playing in "old school" mode without auto-mapping is fantastic. I'm not building complete maps, but scratch out some quick "landmark" maps on graph paper as I go. Getting lost just adds to the panic when getting chased by a pack of monsters. Loving the resource management. Inventory space is limited, characters get hungry and need food, and torches burnout. If you're a fan of old dungeon crawlers, you won't be disappointed. Great art, great sound, and great puzzles. I think that's enough for now... it's time to get back to Grimrock!

The most refreshing game in ages!

The review I'd like to add: think back over the last decade. Shooter, shooter, shooter, yup, shooter. Grimrock takes a tried and true formula - from the last age of gaming - and updates it to modern graphics and engine. It is just so darn bleeping refreshing to play this game. Something perfectly executed and NOT a cookie cutter sequel! Verdict: I love it!

Rose-tinted Glasses, the Videogame

In all honesty, this game is a stellar example of why video games just aren't made this way anymore, and what that's a good thing. This game presents a lot of things excellently in terms of style and setting, but the crunch of the game is just... bad. I'm going to get straight to the point because it's a very important point that people need to know before buying this game: The overwhelming majority of the gameplay in Grimrock is mouse controlled. Your 100-something keyed keyboard has exactly 6 buttons on it used, even as this game boasts significant gameplay depth. If you have any kind of manual dexterity issue, and probably even if you don't, then you should absolutely look into getting an Auto-Hotkey script for this game so that you can have actual keybindings for basic actions. I get that a certain group of people have a ton of nostalgia for the kind of gameplay on offer here, but there's a reason games that control in this manner stopped being made -- this control scheme is a crappy artifact of cross-platform console dungeon crawlers. It sucks, and we can and should do better in the 21st century. If you think that will make the game too easy or some nonsense like that, then make the game harder in a way that doesn't involve forcing people to play with a worse interface than a typical phone game. Character building is kinda bland, but it's basically fine. The presentation of the game is great, the themes and environmens are great, the immersion factor and exploration is great, the only real problem is that the controls grate.

Great game, DOESNT WORK ON MODERN SYSTEM

I have tried every fix suggestion both official and from Reddit, Steam, etc. and nothing works. This game and its sequel simply do not play on modern systems.
