Legend of Grimrock 2

Is a rat really a furry, though? It's not like animu fur-fag furry. It's like skaven furry.

Pre-order'd.

Likewise!

Minotaur Barbarian sounds way too tempting.

Rat + rifle = Skaven!

They haven't done much for the races, but they've almost completely revamped the classes.

Secret eighth class? Toorum returns?

First review is up

Whether you are completely new to this genre of games, or a seasoned crawlerhead like me, this is a game you need to pick up and play! Sure, there are still some minor issues such as combat being a little too easy at times, but I am willing to overlook that and embrace the dungeon (and surface) crawling masterpiece that is Legend of Grimrock 2.

Awesome. Cant wait. First game was my GOTY2012.

 

[neilsouth]

Yeh same here, have also played many of the fan dungeons as well

Been a while since I've been excited for a new game. Hope this one is much longer than the first one though, my party was only level 13 and it only took a dozen hours to complete. Not even sure how anybody is suppose to max out any of the skills which go up to level 50 unless you grind for hours or level one skill your entire playthrough.

Looks like the square dancing was kept.

 

[Jaesun]

That looks fucking sweet.

If only they loved turn-based blobbers.

According to the review the 8th class is the

farmer.

Can't say it sounds too exciting but a Minotaur taking up that craft in order to keep up with his prodigious feeding needs would be interesting.

You can also import from the first game but not sure if I'll bother - I'm too tempted to try out some of the new race/class combos. At the moment I'm thinking fighter-type, rogue, alchemist + battlemage/wizard.

I need to learn German. It's so relaxing to listen to.

This is getting released tomorrow ?!?! Just in time, I'm ready for some tango!!!

 

[Inquisition]

Gerugon is great. I love his playstyle and voice.

Review from a website called Indie Retro News.

On "secret" class,

Spoiler

There's one new character class worth mentioning and that is the farmer. This is one hilarious class and it changes the whole dynamics of the game. As a farmer you don't gain much experience by killing monsters but instead from eating food. It says in the class description that you will be able to dig ditches for irrigation and grow pitplants to eat, but I never played as a farmer long enough to find out if that is indeed true. Early on you will find a shovel, which can be used for digging up treasures, and perhaps ditches? Other than that you need to gather food off monsters you kill or whatever you can find lying around. One of these days I'll be creating four farmers and go on a crazy farming spree!

Also, looks like they ditched skill trees after all.

You guys think we can access it sooner with a VPN or Proxy?
I can't wait.

 

[Branm]

Meh wish they did turn based. Hate the combat in the real time ones...Way too much kiting involved

 

[adddeed]

Yeah this is real time. The puzzles and encounters are built around it. Plus there are plenty of other turn based games. Every system has its weaknesses, and despite some flaws Grimrock 1 was outstanding, and I cant wait to play this tomorrow.

What? That's extremely disappointing. Glad I didn't D1P after all!

What does he mean, "ditched skill trees"? There are definitely skills. Maybe they're just not arranged in a tree.

 

[Metro]

This. I'm guessing they just went with the Grimlock 1 system.

Give me back that brofist, Infi!

Metro please rename the thread to "WAAAH, IT'S NOT TB - Legend of Grimrock 2 Thread," thank you.

Next up: people complaining Gothic series isn't turn based.
