    It's decent, but nothing really "grabs" you. The characters, music, environments, enemies, abilities, etc are all just "ok". None of it is especially creative or new or terribly interesting. This is particularly disappointing due to how unique the Grimrock games were. It's like they've just given up.

    If you're desperate for some typical fantasy turn based action, it's barely acceptable.

    It's a 'meh' turn-based tactical game but there are already so many of those games that do it better... The art style is awesome but could have been used on Grimrock 3 and they should really make Grimrock 3 instead, as there are almost no comparable games as good as the Grimrock series for grid-based dungeon crawling. A bit disappointing.

    Combat is rather simplistic, but effective: situations and objectives vary greatly, and each fight requires its own tactics and equipment. Unfortunately, it’s also the best part of the game – although writers managed to draft an intriguing world, they failed to populate it with memorable characters and stories. [Issue#239, p.66]

    Although the story and characters are nothing new to RPGs, the strategy gameplay systems truly stand out in their seemingly simple execution.

    Druidstone draws inspiration from a variety of genres (even tabletop boardgames) and combines all those elements elegantly. Its whimsical writing and beautiful (Trine-sque) art should not fool you. This is a game which will put your tactical planning skills to the test and demand forward thinking in the development of your characters. Another spectacular result from the makers of the Legend of Grimrock series.
