Already?!

Looks pretty much like Legend of Grimrock, but with a pause option and many more active skills.

It looks really good actually, I'm quite surprised at how the devs managed to keep it quiet until "surprise! it's out soon <3" One of the Grimrock devs wasn't *super* best happy about it though, he commented on how it's a little too close to Grimrock grinhurt

As one of the creators of Legend of Grimrock, I'm a bit disappointed with your game's certain visual similarities with Grimrock. I don't think you stole our models or textures like some other comments say, but they're pretty damn similar to ours. Why have the trouble of recreating the textures when you could've done unique wall sets of your own? I mean, the game looks pretty fine and all, so I'm sure you could've come up with something more personal. At least credit Grimrock as your inspiration in the description Smile

But Grimrock itself looks like half a dozen similar rpg's from the past too, who's to say they stole any of their assets.

Aye, but in this instance.. the trailer for this one does look shockingly similar to LoG. If it wasn't for the new game mechanics/etc, I'd swear this was a commercial dungeon made in the LoG engine using LoG assets Very Happy

I'm not knocking it though, no way, I loved LoG and I want more games like it ^_^

I'll have look just to see how similar they really do look actually. lol Whats reputed to have been stolen Sabin, the dungeon tiles or monsters ..or both?. I'll have a look at grimrock on the tube. Actually I do see what you mean now. Even the little secret buttons on the wall you click on look really similar. Probably why this game managed to sneak out under the radar. Must have saved a ton of time HAD they really did pinch all grimrocks artwork. Last edited by xyzg on Sun, 18th Oct 2015 04:40; edited 3 times in total

Oh I'm not saying anything is stolen, nor is the dev (welllll, not openly Very Happy

) but there was a lot of people whining on the GL page about "stolen Grimrock assets" because of how similar they look.

This indeed looks great, albeit painfully similar to Grimrock. Like the alleged LoG dev said, the developers should've come up with something unique.

The two reviews available for the game are both very positive (And both have more than 1 hour of playtime, one of them is even close to 10 hours.) so I might pick this up eventually.

Wow. This really is Legend of Grimrock, right down to the animations and the lighting. Even that little tiny piece of stone you "push" to open secret doors, it moves and looks and sounds just like it does in Grimrock. The major change is the battle and progression system - which is much more indepth here, but conversely the magic system is much more streamlined, no more runes and remember/selecting rune combinations to cast spells, here you just press the spell icon in your hotbar. I'm not really sure how I feel yet, it's kinda buggy, kinda clunky, kinda Grimrock on a Budget'y, but I guess it could be pretty fun if you're starving for more crawlers. Oh and it's real-time-with-pause combat, but it suffers from an annoying "once the targeted enemy is dead, we'll all stop attacking, even if there are 3 others attacking you" feature.
