Finnish developers have repeatedly proven that they can, and most importantly - love to make games. The guys from Almost Human demonstrated this with their own example by creating a game called Legend of Grimrock. This RPG seems to have been made according to the patterns of the times when we could hardly imagine what 3D technology was. No, the graphics in Legend of Grimrock are quite modern and pleasant, but the internal components of the project are a nod to the 90s.
Old school gamers, playing Legend of Grimrock, are filled with tears of joy, nostalgically recalling their youth and computers with just a few megabytes of RAM - back then the grass was greener, the air was cleaner, and the games were more captivating and engrossing. There's no point in arguing, as developers these days often pay more attention to graphics rather than quality gameplay. Hardcore projects are released in limited quantities, but Legend of Grimrock is just that - a hardcore project with all its implications.
In the game's story, a quartet of heroes, sentenced for various crimes, is exiled to an eternal settlement in the dungeons, where various monsters and creatures swarm. In an almost complete darkness, they must survive. Food is scarce, and it must be sought out, or they may die of hunger. Around every corner, they could be ambushed by another spawn of Darkness, eager to feast on sweet flesh. Traps are placed here and there, which can eliminate the entire team in the blink of an eye.
The past residents of the dungeons (whether they escaped or not - it's unknown) have written various hints on all the walls, which can help the heroes escape from the stale labyrinths. However, many inscriptions can direct them down the wrong path, and then the outcome is death and oblivion. The only chance for salvation is to find the exit from the dungeons. This is what Legend of Grimrock is all about. To enhance the experience, you can enable the 'old school' mode. By activating this option in the game's menu, gamers lose the map. Thus, they have to navigate through the tunnels almost blindly. If you have had bouts of claustrophobia, it’s better not to get acquainted with Legend of Grimrock. At least, do not disable the travel map.
Control in Legend of Grimrock is managed from the perspective of one character from a first-person view. The most interesting thing is that there are no companions nearby - you control them using the heroes' abilities (icons in the lower right corner of the screen) as needed. If the characters have significantly lost health and mana points, they can temporarily fall asleep and fully restore all parameters. In general, if you are not afraid of getting a powerful dose of 'old-school' - you must play Legend of Grimrock.
