Legend of Grimrock will be released on the Nintendo Switch later this month, on January 15th, 2024
This game first appeared on Windows over a decade ago and will cost $14.99 USD (R280.00) when it comes to Switch. It’s also been tweaked to work with Switch controls.
Players assume control of a group of prisoners sent to Mount Grimrock for crimes they “may or may not have committed,” and must guide them to freedom by descending the mountain level by level.
Here’s some more information about the game from Nintendo’s website:
“The game brings back the old school challenge with highly tactical real-time combat and grid-based movement, devious hidden switches and secrets as well as deadly traps and horrible monsters. Legend of Grimrock puts an emphasis on puzzles and exploration and the wits and perception of the player are more important tools than even the sharpest of swords could be. Are you ready to venture forth and unravel the mysteries of Mount Grimrock?”
If you’re wondering if the sequel Legend of Grimrock 2 will be ported to the Switch, the game’s designer Antti Tiihonen stated on the Nintendo Switch subreddit that there are currently no plans for this. The team’s first game port was more of a “fun and educational side project.”
