I got this game about 3 days ago at the time of writing this review as I had the urge for a Dungeon crawler after playing so many 4x strategy games. I did play Legend of Grimrock but never finished and left it alone for along time and I knew the sequel came out so I did not bother looking at the sequel for 4+ years then recently the urge to play a Dungeon crawler game so I decided to get the game and wow the game is really great.

It is unfortunate there is no gold to be found in the game and probably no merchants which would complete Grimrock, but it does a good job at bringing a fun engaging combat experience with some hardcore ironman mode settings.

For example only being able to use the Crystal one time to raise your adventurers and save your game only once and your left in the dark until you can find the next Crystal otherwise you lose all that progress if you die and yes your party will die because it is not turn based everything is fast action pace and there will be times you get trapped with nowhere to move and the monsters will destroy you.

I think that is why I love this game because of the hardcore settings and the unique farmer class where you have to eat to gain experience and you get no experience from fighting monsters and the Alchemist class where your herbs will grow multiply in your backpack that is really good.

I recommend getting the game but at a sale price not the full price, you can check the internet for steam keys for this game as well to get a copy for fairly cheap.

This game is on par with Wizardry 8 except this is real time combat no pausing the way I like it.

Happy Adventuring!
