News & Reviews Non-RPG RPG Video

Lazy Wednesday Video Post: Legend of Grimrock

I am currently enjoying my week off, spending most of the time playing video games, watching movies and trying to wind down a bit. One video I stumbled upon today is a first look at “Legend of Grimlock”, an old-school dungeon crawler to be released on April 11th. I admit it’s not really pen & paper RPG related but I know that a lot of us played games like these a lot back in the day.

WTF Is… Legend of Grimrock

I am very pleased that there are still developers willing to develop such an old-school game. And from the looks of it, it’s marvelously executed. I can’t wait to actually play it!

I’ve been following this for some time and I’m very excited it’s finally out this month. If you, like myself, neglected sleep on a school night to crawl the murky crypts of Dungeon Master and Eye of the Beholder this will be like a tearful journey back in time. I cannot wait.

I’d also like to think this is a beginning of something really special coming this year. Remake of X-Com is looking strong and true to the original. Baldur’s Gate will get a special edition. Plus thanks to populist Kickstarter drives we are likely to see Wasteland 2 and more!

Nostalgia overdose is becoming a real concern 😉

Also, learned today about this:

Which may be long time away. Still it’s Jordan Weisman plus a few other ex FASA peeps so the right credentials are there, and they aim to (re)make Shadowrun rpg game in the original setting of 2050s… that has to work.
