Legend of Grimrock
Anyone here play Legend of Grimrock?
It's a new RPG but it has an old school feeling to it, kind of like Ultima or Might and Magic
It also has a unique magic system where you arrange runes in a pattern to cast spells
just came out (On PC)

You used the keyboard, and each letter was associated with a different word depending on which syllable it was applied to.
Once you deciphered what the different partial words meant you could cook-up your own spells. It was very cool.

So it's hard to tell from the video, is it semi-realtime like Eye of the Beholder and Menzoberanzan? Or is it fully turn-based like Might and Magic and Wizardry?
not sure, wish there was a demo. I might just bite the buloet and pick it up today anyways.

Yeah, it just weighs kind of heavily on when I'd buy it, since playing with a trackpad would kind of suck if it was real-time.

For anyone else thats curious about this game its def worht picking up. Its first person adventure ala Eye of the Beholder or the old Might and Magic games on PC. The character movement is forward, back, left, right, one black at a time just like those old games. Battles are in real time rather then turn based however your characters do have a countdown timer just like the early FF games before you can attack again. Really cool graphics and monsters. Character creation and advancement are just like the old D&D games where you roll your core stats and perform based on those. Good stuff so far. Only 2 hours in but really enjoying it for $15.

Sweet to see this finally released! When I saw the trailer it reminded me of a polished modern-remake of the 90s game Stonekeep. God, I used to play that game for hours and hours. Very difficult to beat without the guide.
You're right. It really does look like an HD Stonekeep.
