There is no randomness to the island’s layout or general loot. Still, it might put some gamers off due to the timing of the attacks not always being obvious. I believe this is intentional because without it, a number of enemies are quite difficult and I can’t imagine beating normal difficulty or even hard difficulty without that tactic. This allows players who want to play more tactically to use their movement to move next to an enemy and attack and then step back out of range for the enemy attacks. If the enemy starts to swing and the player sidesteps the attack, it will miss them. There’s the ability for the player to dodge attacks as well. Dungeon crawlers are a special genre where the player moves usually on a grid-based system and can attack and be attacked by enemies. So how’s the gameplay? Well like I mentioned, Legend of Grimrock 2 is a dungeon crawler. The game will give you a hint to go find something but until it does, you might miss something rather obvious. There are a few situations like that where objects and pieces of puzzles are well hidden in the game. In addition, you can check my first look, there’s a tree by the crystal that I walk by a few times, I didn’t realize that the knives that are sticking out of the tree branch were actually items I could grab because they look like their part of the game. Once you know what a switch looks like it’s easy to find it, but most switches had to be pointed out to me, usually from a guide because I would just miss them even walking by them a few times unless it’s obvious there was a switch there. There are a number of hidden switches and traps, and the game does well at hiding them from those who don’t have eagle eyes. One trick the game does is having secrets that hide in plain sight. The diversity and the number of interesting locations are great and I constantly wanted to see what was next. They are about four years old now and the team who created this game was quite small, still, it was built for simplicity rather than as a testament to realism. The graphics though aren’t top of the line. There is a mine, a pyramid and a castle to go through as well. Even when you go underground, you have a number of different environments rather than just plain “dungeon”. You get a good day-night cycle and a lot of variety in the level design as well as the terrain. Rather than being in a dank, dark dungeon, the game is played with the player on an island, and a little more than half the game is played outdoors. The graphics on Legend of Grimrock 2 are far better than the first one, part of the reason is the new location. The battle system and engine here is clearly the same, but at the same time, you have an all-new “dungeon” to explore.
You again build a party of four adventurers and have to dive into another adventure to find your way around. Legend of Grimrock 2 definitely feels like a continuation of the first game, at least in style. 2 years later Almost Human Games returned with Legend of Grimrock 2. It was a solid return to what used to be a major part of the computer industry. It was a rather solid dungeon crawler that had the player dive down through 13 levels of a dungeon that included combat and puzzles the entire way. Legend of Grimrock is a little game from Almost Human Games that came out in 2012.
