What is Legend of Grimrock? Old-school dungeon crawling game inspired by Dungeon Master, Eye of the Beholder and Ultima Underworld. Explore a vast dungeon riddled with hidden switches, pressure plates, sliding walls, trapdoors and more. Discover secrets, cast spells with runes and craft potions with herbs. Fight murderous monsters and seek lost artifacts in ancient tombs. Create a party of four characters and customize them with different races, classes, skills and traits. 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? Read less

Is this game turn-based or is the combat real time? And, if it's turn based, do I have infinite time during my turns? Or will the enemy keep attacking if I don't act quickly enough? Never played a first.pwrson dungeon crawl. No idea how these play.

I fully bought into the hype when this game was originally released and bought it right away. I had been a console gamer in the 90s and just missed the phase when games like this were all the rage for PC gamers. A trend in my life is to get super hyped for games, buy them and then never play them. Why? I don't know.

I decided to randomly pick this back up. I played 1 hours and 56 minutes with premade characters then realized that was dumb so started over with custom characters and got to the same place in 1 hour and 23 minutes. That's progress, right!? Let's see if I can see this game to completion!
