Legend of Grimrock, an involving expansive RPG experience on mobile

Danni has decided that his iOS game of 2015 is the mobile port of Legend of Grimrock. This game was originally a PC and Mac title that drew upon classic Eye of the Beholder turn-based first-person action, and mixed it with modern visuals and game design to create something truly exciting.The plot had your team of four abandoned at the top of Grimrock, a mountain jail, with the promise of freedom if you could make it through its many claustrophobic floors. Not that your captors saw much change of this, as no one had ever safely navigated it.You have to navigate your way through its stone halls one square at a time, managing your squads formation, weapons, armor and health. So you had better think twice about having that archer and magician in the front row while fighting that giant spider¦ they tend to work better hiding behind the more burly and heavily armored barbarians. So, why did this port appeal so much as well, put simply, it is perfectly suited to mobile and touch. Every part of the original is reproduced, from the brilliant puzzles to the dank visuals. Plus, the various drag and drop menus that form the inventory just feel right under your thumbs. Finally, the turn-based nature of the movement, combat and problem solving mean that you are never placed under time pressures to quickly manipulate options on more complex screen. Defiantly worth a try for all old school gamers, and anyone looking for an involving expansive RPG experience on mobile
