Legend of Grimrock

[Grim Warlock]

You should take a look at this upcoming dungeon crawler game, it really brings back the 90s RPG.

Hello,

The second best game just became better and got a successor !!

Legend of Grimrock 2

I have no words to describe all the new things, outstanding visuals and amazing ambience, so I only link some screens, art and clips.

The game will be shipped in 5 days !!
So I will most likely not be online the next time


See what an indie team with a handful of talented and passioned people can do:

I have been, found a pretty swig helmet in a secret area, level 2 I think.

This game though <3

It's just

Perfect <3

I'll probably write a piece on this since I'm researching the work of Brenda Romero, which in turn means I can talk about how wizardry inspired this amazing game

[Seven]

Hehe,
Always keep an eye on loose bricks

[OMacKnight]

Oh, I'd get it from gog purely because I like the service

and I'm actually a /HUGE/ fan of;
Wizardy
Might and Magic
every roguelike
Every grid based dungeon crawler (only a few come to mind right now)

as far as requirements go, I'll probably be running this at 1920x1080 xD

I'll update this reply when I install it tomorrow (since I should be able to pick it up then)

Minor update, I'm still a child at heart.

Hello OMacKnight,

I recommend in bying the GOG version, rather than any silly steam version.
With GOG you get a DRM free game, which you can always install 15 years later (like Quake) on any computer without internet as well.

Be sure to also check hardware requirements first.

And please report back how you like it.
I hope you do not suffer from claustrophobia, as its a dungeon game

Have fun,
Seven

I don't know why it's taken me so long to look into this game, I think I might have to just buy this

right now <3

except I spent all my money on league of legends :c

But that is part of the Legend of Grimrock gameplay and mechanics.
Combat behaviour and strategies are depending on this.

Even the brand new Might and Magic X - Legacy moves in grids (outside and in dungeons), which breaks with earlier games of this series...

And I have absolutely no doubt that this dev team will make outside grid-based movement fun
Even in 1st LoG game, the old strategy: Forth, hit, back is not working here on purpose.
The monsters AI is reacting accordingly. (doesnt work always but in general yes).

[Grim Warlock]

I wonder if the outside areas will be grid-based like all the dungeons, grid-based movement doesn't look fit for the screenshots I've seen of those outside areas.

[Seven]

Holy Jesus !

I have to contact the Indie team "Almost Human" and ask if they can implement support for Quake in their next release

They really do magic with their engine lighting-wise.
How spooky can it get... ?

The outdoor sceneries are also really beautiful.

[Grim Warlock]

They've posted a new blog update on their site along with some new screenshots:









This looks amazing!

[Seven]

Well, they said, that the outdoor area is a real screenshot of LoG2 WIP.
So, I think we are sure to see this beautiful area.

Imagine the new possibilities with outdoor areas in LoG2 compared to LoG.
That was something I really missed.
Also the new monsters look more than promising.

Hello,

The best atmospherical dungeon game just got better:

I'm getting a Stonekeep Sharga Mines vibe off of that first screenshot. The screenshot of the outside area just looks absolutely stunning, I hope they include that area in a demo at some point.

[Sza]

I have loved games like dungeon master or eye of the beholder. LoG is simply beautiful! A very nice mix between old and new skool

Hello,

The best atmospherical dungeon game just got better:







And a sequel has been started "Legend of Grimrock 2" with outdoor areas !






The lighting of this engine + game is simply amazing...
