ValenAlvern April 9, 2012 Share ValenAlvern Member April 9, 2012 Only heard about it 3 months ago and I think it looks good. I never really owned any of those style of games but I wanna get Grimrock. I did "Play" one of the Ultima Underworld games, Jackie knows all about that. I just hope you can punch down doors, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anonymo April 13, 2012 Author Share anonymo Member April 13, 2012 So far it's pretty cool, but hard, they certainly pulled no punches. Very true to the older games it's based off, they even have a mode that disables the auto-map on your save so you have to use grid paper...I'm not there yet. For $13 it's a great buy, but there isn't much story (not much needed really) and so far there's only one dungeon texture, I'm not really expecting much more. (game is 680mb total) This game would be amazing on a tablet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhh memories... So true. and so far there's only one dungeon texture, Supposed to change when you move into a new level/area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VooDooPC April 14, 2012 Share VooDooPC Member April 14, 2012 I thought the game was hard at first but I find the AI rather easy to abuse. Your attacks are instant but the enemies have animations, so you can have an enemy move towards you, attack before they can attack, then step back and repeat. Also enemies that are in square areas larger than 4x4 you can circle strafe them to death without them even having a chance to attack. I've only played about 2 hours, but this is what it's been like so far. I've seen maybe... 6 enemy types so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieChan April 15, 2012 Share JackieChan GC Alumni April 15, 2012 Doing a Let's Play of this (will contain NSFW language). I ended up editing music into the videos from an old PC game I'm hoping you guys recognize.

anonymo April 17, 2012 Author Share anonymo Member April 17, 2012 Why do you say that? Normally I'd assume you're just setting me up but I'll amuse you... I say that because 1 - I just stand there attacking, I don't strafe around and 2 - I got stuck on that pillar of light part because I couldn't figure out the stupid puzzle...clearly I shouldn't be allowed near heavy machinery or fine cookware Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ValenAlvern April 19, 2012 Share ValenAlvern Member April 19, 2012 Hoho, wait till level 4. The only time Ive gotten stump is the end puzzle at level 4, also my first Game Over was there too, which happened near the end of that level too.

Jibbajabba April 20, 2012 Share Jibbajabba Member April 20, 2012 It is a fun game that is reasonable for $15. If you are a big fan of these old style games, I highly recommend it. I remember playing the old AD&D Eye of the Beholder and Ravenloft games and this game brings back a similar feel but adds better graphics, improvements, and more of a focus on puzzles as well. Don't worry there is still tons of combat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
