Your party is shown on the right, with equippable weapons slots below their health and hidden menu screens a button's press away. You move one scene at a time, turning and walking using on-screen controls or the keyboard. Legend of Grimrock styles itself like those RPGs of old. Even though you only 'moved' one still image at a time, taking notes, drawing maps, and sifting through mounds of treasure was somehow twice as exciting in this brand new first person world. These games featured party-based combat and a first person viewpoint that allowed players to see things through the character's eyes. A sub-genre of RPGs emerged during this time and gained a strong foothold with titles like The Bard's Tale and Eye of the Beholder. From the visual overhaul to the lax but somehow intriguing storyline to the stripping of complex menu screens and stats, Legend of Grimrock will easily capture your attention and hold it for hours on end, whether you're an old school RPG master or a casual gamer looking for a little diversion.īack in the late '80s and early '90s, the computer role playing game was going through one of its most golden ages. Legend of Grimrock from Almost Human is a retro-styled first person dungeon crawling RPG that borrows liberally from the classic genre and updates everything for modern gamers to enjoy.
