Legend of Grimrock

[Solitude]

I see a thread for the sequel but not one for the original game. It's the first game that I ever won over at SteamGifts and I'm only playing it now.

Legend of Grimrock is a dungeon crawling role playing game with an oldschool heart but a modern execution. A group of prisoners are sentenced to certain death by exiling them to the secluded Mount Grimrock for vile crimes they may or may not have committed. Unbeknownst to their captors, the mountain is riddled with ancient tunnels, dungeons and tombs built by crumbled civilizations long perished now. 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 the 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 could 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 to venture forth and unravel the mysteries of Mount Grimrock?

Have any of you played it or have it in your backlog? The game is oozing atmosphere and even though I'm only an hour in it looks like a good game so far.

Yup, I played and finished it within 3 days. I simply couldn't stop I was so hooked and finding the secrets in this game is seriously satisfying. I highly recommend it!

I simply couldn't stop

what Isengard said.

the best thing is they made it so that in 2 you could go back and complete some puzzles that you could not do in the first one if you fall down some places there where no way to get back up and go do it I remember leaving some armor on a floor and droped down a hole and well could not go get it again
