So when's the third one coming out, bros?
It is coming, right?
>>345377053
are these games comfy? complete dungeon crawler noob here
I have bad news for you OP
>>345377130
They're more puzzle focused than combat focused. If that's comfy for you, then yes. Pic related is true comfycore.
>>345377130
Just started playing the second one myself. I couldn't care to make it past the 6th floor in the first one. 2 is the perfect sequel. Open world dungeon crawling with the actual dungeons being short and sweet and spread across the landscape. It's gorgeous.
>That fucking theme
>>345377130
There is a good comfy feel when you go back to areas you've been in like The Hub.
It has a good unsettling and deliberate atmosphere throughout mostly.
9/10 game for me.I also got a massive boner for being able to put in my own portraits.

>>345377130
comfy af especially the 2nd game.
>>345377305
>no name at all
why even post if you're trying to convince people about it
>>345378756
That's World of Xeen
game 1 sells 900k
game 2 sells 200k
Do you think theres gonna be a 3rd game gusy?
>>345377053
God I hope so, Grimrock is fucking amazing.
>>345377130
2 has some pretty relaxing outdoor zones.
>>345379941
That makes me sad.
>>345379941
damn really? wasn't it better in every way?
fucking loved the randomized mimics every run
>one of the best game in five years
>sells worse than its prequel
what the fuck
do people hate fun?
Thanks for reminding me this existed, I pirated the first one and loved it, currently downloading the second one
>>345379941
>Perfect sequel
>Sells less than 1/4th as well
>>345380349
>>345380576
>>345381126
1st one was hyped as a return of a dead genre.
2nd one is a game like any other with small marketing budget and zero hype behind it.
>>345379941
>>345381095
this is why I hate piratefags
holy fucking shit
Never played neither, should I get the first or the second?
>>345381650
second one is just plain better so id say play them in order
one of the easter eggs requires knowledge form the first game to find, its probably the best hidden secret
>>345381280
how are pirates related to anything exactly?
>>345381903
I can't tell if this is an RPGcodex or regular grimrock meme.
>>345377130
2 is max comfy.
>>345381280
I pirated both so how do I fit into your theory that I hurt the sales of the second game?
>>345382317
its a grimrock 2 rat portrait
Hasn't the first Grimrock been part of tons of bundles? I think we might be overstating the gulf in sales.
what party did you use?
what was your final score screen?
i used a insect knight with 1handed +shield, Minotaur barbarian with 2 hander, insect wizard and a rat alchemist with bows
>>345382126
>>345382521
>like first game
>don't buy the second one to support indie dev
>indie dev die
are you legally retared?
>>345383706
Theres just not that large market for grimrock. 1st game had a lot of hype behind it, 2nd one didnt and people who bought 1st prob thought they dont like the genre that much.
>>345383706
I have no problem buying it, I suppose you're ok with me using your cash to do so? Cause I have none.
>>345385362
maybe you should get a job
Is there anything to be done about the terrible fucking performance in the forest? The game runs fine at high settings in the beginning area and in dungeons, but that fucking forest is unplayable even if I turn everything down.
The 2nd game made its budget back and the dev is independent. Your point is invalid.
Second grimrock is better then first in every single aspect, but i still like the first game more. Comfy dungeons>open space
So what are some similar games on steam?
Preferably party based and made in the last three or four years.
>>345388809
The souls series are pretty popular dungeon crawlers.
>>345388809
Realtime or TB?
>>345389330
I prefer turn based
Would play either though.
>>345389528
>I prefer turn based
people like this exist?
>>345389528
The Quest
7 Mages
Might and Magic X
Fall of the Dungeon Guardians
Sword and Sorcery Underworld
>>345389573
People with taste do exist, yes.
>>345389980
Thank you, anon.
Only one I've played of those was MMX and I burned out half way thru.
Will check out the rest.
>>345390440
There's more but I'm half asleep in bed and those are the first that come to mind. I hope you've already played all the classics.
>>345389980
>turn based
>"""taste"""
off yourself codexer
>>345381280
jokes on you i've pirated it initially but bought it for a full price in a day
that game deserves it
>>345383526
>epic items
>17/16
>>345381903
That portrait is great, that ratling is always in my party.
>final fight aren't actually final
>four is not the most powerful number>trickster is not actually a trickster
>>345379941
200k seems pretty good for a niche genre
>>345391512You will never be a robed douchebag who runs an island that you filled with traps, monsters, and puzzles and taunt everyone that comes there in the form of a leprechaun
>>345391824
losing ~70% of sales between a game and 1 sequel usually isnt considered acceptable
>>345379941
I liked a lot of aspects of the first game but hated a few things like the rhythm puzzle, and I wasn't much a fan of the last boss.
I held off on buying the sequel because of those things. Does the sequel not have things like those?
>>345391375
was a bug where the max showed up as 16
>>345392497
It's an improvement in every way. Pick it up sometime.
>>345393126
I mean I'm really bad at trying to "dance" in that game, and those were just 2 of the really dance heavy situations.
Are there any rebalance mods?
Race balance in general needs major rework with reptiloids shitting on all other races.
>>345392497
>>345392497
"final" boss is pretty good since you actually fight him instead of running awayreal final boss is better unless you cheese him
i don't remember any rhythm puzzles in part 2 but the archives entrance puzzle with the uhu ar palaka shit was not one i enjoyed
>>345393307
>>I mean I'm really bad at trying to "dance" in that game, and those were just 2 of the really dance heavy situations.
outside of the early fish dudes i dont remember needing to dance around enemies much unless it was a crowded area
>>345393126
>>345393307 here again
Like, i really liked the old school dungeon crawlers like EotB (I mean I fucking played that thing on the SNES when I was a kid, I loved it), and that was more... thinking, less combat timing. Grimrock seemed to have a little bit more focus on combat timing, but still had the same UI and controls and playstyle that don't really work well with real time and reflexes, which I found artificially difficult. It'd be like making big platforming jumping puzzle sections in a game with Dark Souls' jumping mechanics, it's just wonky and not very good.
The older dungeon crawler games were pretty much turn based.
Xulima or Grimrock 2, /v/?
>pirate sakura dungeon
>dad walks in
>just as a critical strike goes off that strips a monster naked
>>345394401
why not both?
>>345379941
Grimrock 1 was in a Humble Bundle, that's not even a fair comparison.
>>345383526
4 Human party.
I don't care if humans were shit fight me.
>>345393879
>artificially difficult
>>345398471
when a game's difficulty revolves around the controls being bad yes that's artificial difficulty.
>>345398795
The controls aren't bad at all. I had never played any realtime dungeon crawler before grimrock 2 and I adapted to them within the first half hour. I think you're just slightly retarded.
>tfw I tried to take the "final" boss slow
>the enemies just keep coming
>>345399240
I was talking about Grimrock 1.
There's a puzzle in it where you basically have to play guitar hero dancing back and forth to intercept these glowing orbs.
The movement in the game and controls for doing so don't correspond very well for rhythm game mechanics.
>>345381280
>First game is hyped to hell and back.
>It's honestly not that good. From combat to exploration to everything.
>Grimrock 2 comes out.
>I cautiously pirate because the first was interesting, but fell short.
>Improved in every way possible.
>Immediately buy it full price.
Go fuck yourself. The first game was not that great, and it's not surprising most people didnt want to buy it.
FYI, Grimrock 2 is literally in my top 5 games of all time.
>>345389573
>>345390857
you have to be 18 to use this site
>>345391865
spinoff game when?
>>345392080
I would imagine that they found their core following though, and not just people buying into the hype
I'm sure their future game will have similar sales as grimrock 2
>>345391865
>>345404457
Grimrock 4 will have you play as a weakened island master trapped at the bottom of a dungeon on the island. You also have a ghost chasing you every level in real-time.
>>345377130
Yes, Grimrock 2 is very comfy
>Random mimic treasure chests for each playthrough
>Spooky ass ambience even in the beach area
>Devious traps that often double as jumpscares
>Previously cleared area is suddenly full of dangerous enemies
>>345382332
I think we can all agree that this and the smug ratfuck are the best portraits
>>345377053
yes they are working on something, whether it's grimrock 3 or something else we don't know
pic from the programmer's twitter
>>345377130
the games are basically the best introduction to dungeon crawlers, really great games by themselves but you will want to search out more once you're done with them
>>345379941
It really sucks but it's only because the first one had a shitload of hype back in 2011, 2 just flew under the radar for most everybody not even asscancer made a video on it
>>345409159
asscancer only makes videos about AAA shit and console ports and meme indies
he's an absolute pleb
