Characters within the party gain experience for slaying creatures and beasts within the dungeon, allowing them to increase in level and progress skills which enhance combat abilities and allow the casting of new spells, and equipment is obtained through exploration and solving of puzzles throughout the dungeon. Gameplay consists of a combination of puzzle solving and combat.
In the game, players will control a party of one to four characters which they move through a 3D rendered grid-based dungeon. Legend of Grimrock is an action role-playing game video game developed and published by Almost Human.
