When a player is asked about the classic “dungeon crawl” genre, they may have to take a visit to their attic and dust off some floppy discs. When it comes to the modern day dungeon crawl, it exists as a blended genre, usually with an action-RPG. The merging of both of these worlds can create a noxious experience that is awkwardly given with the label “game.”
Legends of Grimrock attempts to blur the line between classic and modern with its old-school feel and its modern graphics. That leaves one to wonder if Legends of Grimrock up to the challenge of attracting players that aren’t just around for the sweet taste of nostalgia.

Still upset Atlus sided with Nintendo for Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth. I don't mind it's on 3DS, I mind it's not on any PS console cause the PS community are the ones that built the franchise and even made P4G a success on an unsupported system... then they decide to not give us Q but instead a dancing game *FACEPALM*
The developers are the developers of the Etrian Odyssey series which are exclusives to the Nintendo DS/3DS and which sole mechanci is drawing and constructing maps on the touch screen.
Such feature can not be replicated on Vita.
Not owned by Nintendo though, Atlus could/should work on it from the dev or another to be on Vita instead of betraying the fans like such. And there has been hundreds of games where touch screen from the 3DS has been replaced with the Vita touch screen and back touch pad. Seen gameplay, easily portable.
Please do explain how you make a game that actually needs two screens on a console that has one, Slinky.
It has nothing to do with the touch screen. It is the fact that the Etrian Odyssey mechanics require both the map and the "action" to be displayed - and interacted with - at the same time, at all times.
A map overlay, as other dungeon crawlers do on the Vita, would not work, as you wouldn't be able to draw on that while you played.
I really enjoyed this game personally, definitely more than an 7.5. Then again, I'm probably also trapped in the past when it comes to these games.
