Brendan Hesse of FTG: The hallmark of a great dungeon crawler is how well it can approximate the feeling of a single-player Dungeons & Dragons experience.
Now, to be fair, a truly great D&D campaign is dependent on your fellow players and the skill of the Dungeon Master. A game session can be made or broken by the social aspect of role playing, and no single player game can ever approximate this. However, what a dungeon crawler RPG can provide is well-designed dungeons, interesting scenarios and worlds, and deep character building opportunities. This is exactly what Almost Human Studio’s Legend of Grimrock 2 delivers.
Kinglink says "Legend of Grimrock is a little game from Almost Human Games that came out in 2012. 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. It was a solid return to what used to be a major part of the computer industry. The party based Dungeon CRPGs. 2 years later Almost Human Games returned with Legend of Grimrock 2. And boy, what a sequel"
Just a little over a year ago, Almost Human Games released Legend of Grimrock 2, a follow up to 2011’s Legend of Grimrock. In a sense riding that first wave of gaming nostalgia that produced so many throw-back platformers and roguelikes, Legend of Grimrock 2 and its predecessor instead attempted to re-create the look, feel, and playstyle of early RPGs like The Bard’s Tale, Wizardry or Dungeon Master, albeit with more contemporary graphics and a few concessions to more recent mechanics.
