Legend of Grimrock Released!

by ·

The news from GOG.com this morning (among other sites) is that Almost Human’s Legend of Grimrock has been released!

The first batch of reviews aggregated by GameBanshee are, predictably, all glowing, with every review praising the game’s design and warning about its difficulty. It would seem that Almost Human has turned in a great little hardcore grinder of a dungeon-crawler.

    I’m loving this game. I forgot how much fun getting lost and dying can be! XD

    Shit, someone should use that game engine with assets to import Ultima data files. What if you made outside/overworld maps showing sky and trees? The engine and art look fantastic!

    Reminds me of Might & Magic (the first one), which I loved.

      They are working on a full map editor with scripting capabilities:

      Also, a bit of development related news: we have started working on the level editing capabilities. There’s not much to report yet since the whole thing is still pretty much undergoing some planning and early prototyping but we should be on the right track. Anyways the current plan is to release the editor in stages: initially the editor will be rather simple but more advanced features and scripting capabilities will be added in incrementally in later releases. That way you can get your hands on the editor more quickly and we can get useful feedback from you already in the early stages.

      You may not be able to import the UU data files, but you might be able to recreate a lot of the UU.

    So tempted to buy this… but if it won’t run in Wine, then I’m out of luck. Not even going to bother asking for a Mac client. 🙂
