Do people still make good dungeon crawlers for PC?
Pic related was good but I want something with more combat and less puzzles. Not that puzzles are a bad thing. I just want to go into a dungeon with my group of doodz and kill a bunch of monsters, and nothing really seems to deliver that experience.

There's Grimrock 2, but even that had quite a lot of buzzles
Fine heres your overwatch picture. Now talk about DRPG's.
>There's Grimrock 2
Yea, still a good game, but not the monster masher I was hoping for. It feels like your choices are Grimrock, or all of the 20+ year old DRPG's.
If you want more combat and less puzzles, try Might & Magic X Legacy. It has turn-based combat though so it's not like Grimrock.
You can emulate the first three EO games on PC.
The Fall of the Dungeon Guardians.
tank/healer/dps, aggro system and with vanilla wow talent trees
Look into StarCrawlers OP.
there's eliminage gothic
it was originally for psp but got a PC port
seems mildly entertaining but the ui needs to be gotten used to since it was somewhat of a direct port but there is mouse support
great game to play with one hand though
>unfinished early access BUY NOW!!11
Yeah no, try again in 3 years when it's finished.
Is the original Dark Souls (and Demon's Soul) can be considered as dungeon crawler? I know DaS2 and DaS3 are basically boss fights after boss fights, but DaS and DeS have some pretty good and challenging dungeons where you can't just bail out of easily whenever you see a bonfire.
Are there any games of this type for the PS4? I actually really enjoyed that weird, weeb-Wizardry for the PS3 and was hoping for more of the same but cant seem to find anything.
no just because there is a dungeon doesnt mean it's a dungeon crawler
the word crawler is used intentionally to describe movement through the dungoen - it is deliberate and metered movement
look up gameplay for grimrock and youll see what i mean
I haven't played this, it might be as garbage as it looks.
It's bad I know, but all the good dungeon crawlers have moved to 3DS and Vita.
Too bad that also entails attaching weeaboo shit to it, but you'll find some gold in the pile of dirt,
play might and magic 6 mandate of heaven nigger
Etrian Odyssey 1 through 4. The game really found its footing in 2, but 1 was still good. The story comes up once maybe every couple of hours, and the puzzles are really only based around movement, not many buttons or switches.
>Might & Magic
I'm looking for basically that, but in a dungeon, with more of a focus on the small party, with traps and puzzles sprinkled in to keep it interesting, maybe a story in the background told though books and notes.
this might be good, is coming out for PC
just make sure to equip appropriately
>tank/healer/dps, aggro system
Is the holy trinity mandatory? If not looks interesting.
Looks like The Legend or The Quest or whatever by those RedShift(?) guys.
I fucking love their style, reminds me of might and magic strongly.
It's a porn game isn't it...
Nah it's just another mindnumbingly shallow game by Experience with nice art.
>mindnumbingly shallow game
That's a shame. I like the look of the dungeon.
Might and magic 3 or 4 and 5 are literally that. they are old school but still very fun
I played them years and years ago. Looking for new stuff. Sad to see it's all anime for handhelds.
wizardry 8 maybe
Wizards and Warriors. Or was it Warriors and Wizards. Can't remember. Start in a tavern and create your party and the rest is dungeon crawling from memory.
This?
>2001
Thanks but looking for 2010+. Can't really stand that early 3D look anymore. I'm sure it's probably a great game though.
was not as
described.
epic soundtrack though for an nes title
Back when i had an absolutely horrible case of craving tile-based dungeon crawlans few years ago i pretty much did my best lurking all over the internet for more. The situation is somewhat better now thanks to EO series revitalizing the genre somewhat, but there's almost no gems hiding from you in the rough.
Try Orcs and Elves, it's a mobile game yeah, but it's actually incredibly addictive and fun combat oriented one. Honestly give it a go. You can probably just gran a DS emulator and a rom and play, since it was ported to DS.
There's Grimrock, yeah, and a bunch of games seemingly made on it's engine, like this one and Dungeon Kingdom, they look to be somewhat meh to me
I really fucking loved Undercroft (another mobile game), plus you can try to find The Quest or The Legend (good fucking luck) if you like this old-school stuff
Mostly you have just old games like Wizardy, M&M, Anvil of Dawn and so on
yes unfortunately western developers are obsessed with making everything simple and easy to appeal to the masses, which doesn't really fit with the traditional dungeon crawler
they used to be kings of the genre but the best you can hope for nowadays is the next streamlined elder scrolls. the japanese are way better at doing european fantasy tropes (see dark souls) nowadays
That's both what I expected, and did not want to hear.
What game?
Pic related. Played this recently and was really good with only a few puzzles that aren't very hard. The tricky part is just to know where you need to go and what to do its semi straight forward.
The Quest
it's like one of my cantonese mmo!
M&M X has dungeons, and a small party, and traps, and puzzles.
>This?
I think he meant this one:
My first dungeon crawler. Anyone else play it? I was too young to make it very far.
Yea that one. Thanks for the nostalgia.
Arx Fatalis is a crazy ass game.
Did you encounter the black beast?
Theres king's field and the shadow tower series. Not grid movement but itsgreat exploration. Controls like a retarded tank since its so dated but if you can stomach it, the latest games of the series are king's field 4 and shadow tower abyss on the ps2. Shadow tower abyss was fan translated so thats also a thing
Yea that shit scared the hell out of me when i realised my weapons and spells had no effect. And when i found out that he had a running animation when it will catch up to you and kill you if when i was truly fucked.
haha, glad to hear that I'm not the only one that shat myself during that part. I'm not shamed to admit I had to look up how to defeat him. In my defence, that shit is absurd, especially given the situation.
Maybe try Ultima Underworld 1 and 2. There are some puzzles, but they're not that often.
Fuck the Black Beast. Shit was terrifying, but I still maintain to this day that it was a mistake to make just a 100% invincible enemy when you are supposed to be this big bad ass guardian thing
Also, go pickpocket the key from the human kings inventory and open the big door near the tavern on level 1.
MMX was decent
Yea same most areas off that game are convoluted as hell in what you need to do but i guess it gives it that charm and doesn't hold ya hand.
looks nice, I hope they will finish it
It was a great little segment, but yeah I agree. Is it ever explained what the black beast was supposed to be?
I did like that aspect. I found myself getting lost in the world and loving it. I did find the dragon on my own, though that was 100% luck.
arcane cursed to make dishonored sequels to all eternity now, why live...
Some terrifying creature that is somehow immune to even the MAX cheat that ate all the dwarves.
i liked how some puzzles weren't stuff that just "happened" to be there but actually fit in the world, like when you have to "poison" the cake with wine to have the goblin king get a dysentery attack to have him get out of throne room and talk to him
I remember using no-clip at one point, and it sprinted through the walls to kill me.
Pants were s h a t
I'd love to know where it came from, and why it loved dwarves so much
The dwarves simply dug too deep
The entire game takes place in abandoned dwarven mines. The dwarves themselves went further down to make room for the other races. Its no accident that the dwarves realm is the lowest point in all the mines.
If you're gonna play them 4 might be a good place to start, it's the easiest and most babyish of the series but considering the kind of buttrape EO2 brings to the table not starting there would probably help get into it
That makes perfect sense actually, thank you
>Download Grimrock to see what's up
>Play through few levels
>Find a secret button on a wall
>Backtrack to the start and hug every wall to find more
>Go down few levels
>Fall down a hole by accident
>Find secret area
>Backtrack to the start again and fall down every hole
>Repeat process with every single secret trigger
HOW DO I PLAY THIS WITHOUT LOSING MY MIND
Paper Sorcerer. It's pretty much exactly what you're asking for and it often drops to like $3 and it was in ah umble bundle a long time back so you can probably find keys floating around for it for pennies.
Divinity Original Sin. Lots of combat on demand, when you get tired, go questing. When you tire of questing, go fighting. Recently started playing to prepare for part 2.
>HOW DO I PLAY THIS WITHOUT LOSING MY MIND
By taking your pills and getting a hold of your autism.
Th... There's also secret doors that open when you remove\place torches and rarely due to torch placement combination if there's a bunch of those things on the wall in one room. And also placing items in some niches, though that's rare too
And that's why i stopped playing it
It's basically OCD the game. I also need to check out every fucking piece of wall, twice sometimes, if I feel like there hasn't been any secret buttons nearby. ...did one room 3 times though.
I love it though, but the problem is that most of the time the rewards are shit. But it's still FUN to discover secrets and solve weird ass puzzles.
>i hate secrets
Poor you.
More like i hate having to autistically check literally everything in a level
>Grimrock 2 added switches even to the walls with roots and grass on them which were switch-free in the first game
And a shovel
Since apparently something forces you to, because you don't really "have to", you already have severe autism, so just learn to live with it.
The guys who made Grimrock better make a third one whenever they're done with whatever they're working on currently
Grimrock 1 was good, 2 on the other hand was GOAT
That god damn shovel.
I want to see them try their hand at a sci-fi dungeon crawler.
>oh, there's a teleport on top of pyramid
>lets just jump into it, nothing can go wrong, right?
>Push a secret switch in some random corridor
>Get teleported into a small room with 3 mimics running around
Man... the hours I spent playing that shit as a kid. It was madness back then. I can't remember if I ever beat the game.
>those medusa archers that petrify your party
Heh, I still remember my first mimic.
I dont want to.
I'm playing The Quest at the moment. I'm a sucker for hand drawn graphics. Here's a video of gameplay.
>Cultist dungeon underneath the inn.
>Has a room with a flesh bridge you need to activate.
>Magic is banned in that room so the player can't just float over the gap.
>In a secret nearby room is a lich.
>If you clip the lever through the wall and activate him without being locked in, you can pull him into the no-magic room.
>Every spell he casts will fizzle so you can just spent 5 minutes whacking him until he eventually dies (again).
>Let's put mimics into our game!
>Let's also make them jump and screech at your face when you trigger them!
>Let's also make them randomized for each playthrough!
>item on a pedestal
>"i dare you" sign nearby
The best part is the loot animation for chests where your party sticks their heads into the chest, in first person view.
>tfw when you will get attacked by a mimic in VR one day
my heart
>all this grimrock appreciation
My niggas
Can we all agree that desert mummy fight was the best fight?
>Not putting some useless item like a rock on the pedestal and then snatching the book like Indiana fucking Jones
I don't get. Why does it looks like this? I've bought Quest few years ago and it doesn't look like this at all
>killing mummies left and right while dancing around them
>never take damage
>avoiding the golems and their fire like a champ
>suddenly Leprechaun fucker
>thought i've beaten the fucking game already
>suddenly Leprechaun's Lair
>running so low on stamina
>go to sleep in that corner with that op sword
>get woken up by mummy taps from time to time
>beat the final boss
>well I feel there is more to this shit I'm not leaving yet
>see that faggot on the first floor
>oh I'm going to tear you a new asshole you cheeky fuck stop running
>locked in a room with him
>beat him to death
>it is me! the island master in my true form
That was both funny and painful
Okay let's get this started
>He didn't save Toorum
>he didn't make the meteorite hammer
King's Field 4 is amazing, and should emulate well even on a toaster.
It's got cumbersome controls though, takes like 8 seconds to complete a 360 spin.
>he didnt think to carry a skull around in the first game
TOUGH LUCK MOTHERFUCKER
Shin Megami Tensei
>tfw minotaur archer with like four skulls in grimrock 1
Feels so fucking good man
...
I think we can all agree that the smug fucking rat portrait is the best portrait
