Grimrock

I find that MOST games where you import characters lead to an unsatisfying progression system. There are exceptions, the SSI Gold Box games worked *OK*, but required sort of artificially clamping progression within each title. I think import would have to leave your new characters with very little t...

Luckily the knowledge of pre-casting is already stated in my existing posts.
That doesn't address the raised issues of the interface problems already in the existing posts, however.

That's what the difficulty setting is for. If monsters are too fast for you go with "Normal" or "Easy".

I've played Dungeon Master beginning to the end AFTER trying out Grimrock so real-time isn't the problem, it's really a combination of the speed at which things occur and the ...

Combat is too fast for my taste. Dungeon Master felt about right to me, while this game is maybe 1.5-2x faster in combat. Too twitchy for me, and the repercussions of mistakes are too high for me to enjoy just living with it. I recommend simply including a speed slider or toggle of sorts. No, I don'...
