Legend of Grimrock [04/12/2012 - 9:18 PM] - Necrophob

Up for review this time around is Legend of Grimrock, by Finnish team Almost Human. This one hasn't been on my radar for very long, perhaps a month or two.

Other than the menu overlay, this is what most of the game actually looks like.

When I first saw some video of the game, I thought it looked neat, but I didn't think it would be something I particularly cared for. After all, I had never played the games that inspired it. Dungeon Keeper came out long before I had anything other than a Nintendo, and while I always thought Eye of the Beholder looked awesome in magazines, I didn't have a computer that could play it (at least not until it wasn't readily available for purchase).

The only game that I could compare it to (and the one that jumped to mind as soon as I saw Grimrock) was Stonekeep. And boy did I hate that game. But at around $9 on www.gog.com I couldn't pass it up.

Thank the elder gods I didn't...
