About Legend of Grimrock

Legend of Grimrock is a dungeon crawling role playing game with an old-school heart but a modern execution released in April 2012. A group of prisoners are sentenced to certain death by exiling them to the secluded Mount Grimrock for vile crimes they may or may not have committed. The game brings back the old-school challenge with highly tactical real-time combat and grid-based movement, devious hidden switches and secrets as well as deadly traps and horrible monsters. Legend of Grimrock puts an emphasis on puzzles and exploration and the wits and perception of the player are more important tools than even the sharpest of swords could be.

You can make money with Dungeon Crawlers.

Grimrock Two, very soon……/happy dance!!~

To put things into perspective though, most of those come from bundles and Steam sales where it was a handful of dollars.

And worryingly, looking at the Steam stats for this, most people never went past the third level.

It's true that this game was responsible for a genre revival and that's a good thing, for instance it's how M&MX was greenlit. But I think we're going to see if it's truly revived with the sales of the second.

That cannot be right….maybe there is something wrong with Steam and how it displays the information? Who the heck would spend even five bucks and not finish the game??? It isn't like Grimrock was even hard or anything, imo, and after starting it, how could anyone not complete it? Seeing what was around the next corner or the next puzzle is practically what that game was all about.

A lot of pressure to live up to the first in success…hopefully they make it. They will need to add a lot to keep it fresh in the next release…I admit I haven't kept up to date as much as I should, I do know they have out doors now…anything else?
