Legend of Grimrock PC Game Reviews

Legend of Grimrock

Legend of Grimrock is a modern dungeon crawler with an old-school heart. It combines exploration, puzzle solving, and tactical combat into a challenging adventure that respects player intelligence. While some aspects of its combat feel dated and its old-school design won’t appeal to everyone, it remains one of the best revivals of a classic genre in recent memory.

Gameplay: Exploration and puzzle solving are incredibly rewarding, although combat can become repetitive due to exploitable enemy behavior.

Graphics: Grimrock modernizes classic dungeon crawling with atmospheric environments and excellent lighting.

Sound: The restrained soundtrack and ambient effects create a tense and immersive atmosphere

Serment – Contract with a Devil PC Game Reviews

Serment – Contract with a Devil

Serment is an interesting hybrid of visual novel, dungeon crawling and dating sim style management elements. It actually ties all of these genres together nicely, but the dungeon crawling definitely takes center stage. You do get to choose between four different heroines and all of the dungeons are hand crafted instead of procedurally generated. The fact that you are on a strict time limit to earn enough cash to pay back the devil who resurrected you can make it feel like you are forced to fight in the dungeons most of the time. However, the game does give you the freedom to continue playing after completing the main story.

Gameplay: Plenty of dungeon crawling along with some visual novel segments and even a bit of dating sim style time management.

Graphics: Beautiful character designs and backgrounds, but the dungeons look a bit bland in comparison.

Sound: The game features no voice acting and the music is decent, but unmemorable

Stonekeep PC Game Reviews

Stonekeep

It was a very long wait for gamers back when Stonekeep was first announced until it was released, but it was also worth it. The game is fun to play, although some role playing purists might bemoan the lack of character customization. Stonekeep features a long quest, with plenty of great characters, but is hampered somewhat by slightly tedious combat and endless corridors that look the same. If you don’t mind the slow pace and the fact that the visuals are definitely showing their age, then you will have a lot of fun with Stonekeep.

Gameplay: A fun dungeon crawler with a better than average storyline.

Graphics: Obviously dated now, but back in its time the enemies and special effects were brilliant.

Sound: The voice acting is surprisingly good and the music is nice and atmospheric

Stranger of Sword City PC Game Reviews

Stranger of Sword City

Stranger of Sword City is a dungeon crawler with an interesting mix of fantasy and reality. The world of Escario is a fascinating but unforgiving place to explore, so brace yourself for quite a challenge. Battles are frequent and brutal, but you have total control over how you want to shape your party of monster slayers. Tracking down and killing all the Lineage-type creatures will keep players busy for ages, so don’t expect to finish this game in a day. If you are looking for an old-school dungeon crawler and can handle a challenge, then Stranger of Sword City is the game to play.

Gameplay: The game is tough and unforgiving but also gratifying.

Graphics: While the game features beautiful artwork, the dungeon textures could have been better.

Sound: The game features Japanese voiceovers and some nice background music

Sakura Dungeon PC Game Reviews

Sakura Dungeon

Sakura Dungeon offers a nice fusion of traditional step based dungeon crawling and the manga visual style that has made developer Winged Cloud (in)famous. Despite all the erotic content (mostly censored in the Steam version) the game doesn’t skimp on the role playing elements either. It might not be as in-depth or complicated as other dungeon crawlers, but definitely offers a fun and compelling experience.

Gameplay: Explore dungeons, defeat cute monster girls and then recruit them to your party.

Graphics: The 2D visuals look great despite the lack of animations.

Sound: Great music, but limited sound effects and no voice acting

NOOZh by WANNABE

At one point or another in our lives, we have all had that dream of being chased by something horrible. For some these are once off occurrences, but for the less fortunate these types of nightmares can become a regular occurrence. Also, while adults can typically shrug off these dreams, it is often harder for children to deal with something so terrifying
