Doesn’t seem to be any chance of an update at this point. ### 3/5 — My favorite mobile game is missing my favorite game mechanic. *2023-08-04, version 1.1.3* So, to start out with, I love this game. Absolutely phenomenal gameplay and graphics, and it all runs smoothly. I love the game and have for years now. However, back when I played on an iPad when it first came out, I remember unlocking Toorum mode. This elevated the game to a whole new level. It was similar but so different, and felt like a whole new game. So, when I recently started playing again, I was excited to unlock Toorum mode. I found the secret that unlocks it, held Toorums Remains up to the crystal of life, and….. nothing. It doesn’t work on an iphone. I can’t find any way to solve this problem and it was really disappointing that it hasn’t been fixed yet (I found a post from 2015 with the same problem). I know it worked at some point, so I hope it’s just a bug that could be fixed fairly easily, but I am very sad that my favorite mobile game was missing my favorite game mechanic. ### 4/5 — The best *2023-06-05, version 1.1.3* Best dungeon crawler game in the App Store is this one. I only wish they would have legend of Grimrock 2 available in the App Store as well almost human is an awesome game developer ### 5/5 — Best iPad game hands down *2022-11-12, version 1.1.3* This is still the best iPad game as of 2022. Just wish they would release the sequel. I love old RPGs, and this is actually superior to my beloved Eye of the Beholder series I played in the 90s. ### 3/5 — Неудобное управление *2022-10-07* Добавьте поддержку геймпада ### 5/5 — 懐かしい *2022-09-05* 面白くてハマります！ ### 5/5 — Classic style, can’t miss *2022-07-03, version 1.1.3* Pretty much said it in the title! Old style grid based dungeon crawl perfect for this old fella ### 2/5 — Old School in the Worst Ways *2022-05-16, version 1.1.3* Legend if Grimrock takes inspiration from classic dungeon crawlers like Dungeon Master and Eye of the Beholder. The game looks and sounds great, but the gameplay ends up being frustrating, especially on iPad. Instead of innovating on these older games, Grimrock keeps the hectic real-time combat of its predecessors. Combat soon becomes a move-hit-move-hit dance routine whenever you encounter an enemy. The over reliance on timed puzzles also exposes the frustration with controls - it’s just plain difficult trying to tap a bunch of different buttons to move, flip a switch, attack an enemy, and cast a spell all at once. If you must play it, buy this on PC instead. ### 5/5 — Brilliant game *2022-03-18, version 1.1.3* This game is brilliant, definitely the best Dungeon Master type game available on iOS. Please please please can we have Legend of Grimrock 2 on iOS!!!! ### 5/5 — amazing dungeon crawler game *2021-09-20, version 1.1.3* Legend of Grimrock is the best game I played on my ipad since…I have an ipad (10 years now?). If you like dungeon crawler games with puzzles to solve on the way then you’re gonna love this game. ### 2/5 — I guess some people may like it…. *2021-08-22, version 1.1.3* Third review…. Almost a good job … I’m not sure how fun it is to look up on the internet every other room’s puzzle or where to go and what to do… I made it to level five.. besides the utterly dark landscape, having to look up every step of the way… the monsters all of a sudden become impossible to beat, give me a break! A dungeon crawler should be fun, not this silly nonsense… ### 5/5 — Superb RPG for iPad *2021-07-03, version 1.1.3* tablet and mobile are frankly terrible platforms for gaming, but Legend of Grimrock is damn near perfect for it. A pity it looks like we won’t get the sequel as I much preferred playing this for a while in bed each night than on PC. If only more well-made old-school style rpgs were on iPad I’d call it a serious platform for gaming. ### 4/5 — Good, are we getting the sequel? *2021-06-25, version 1.1.3* This game is pretty good, great for me when Im out and about or waiting for things. Are we ever going to get the sequel? I think it’d be a grand addition to the store. ### 5/5 — Hidden gem *2021-06-12, version 1.1.3* I played this game on pc. I was super excited to see it on IOS. It plays amazing, takes me back to my childhood playing PnP games. I wish they would release the follow up games as well. ### 4/5 — Portrait orientation request *2021-03-02* The game is awesome! The only thing is missing is possibility to play with one hand. Please add portrait mode. ### 5/5 — ダンジョンマスター *2021-02-23* とは大きく違う点としてはスキルシステム。職業というかクラスが固定で関係がないスキルは伸ばせない。また、経験値は敵が消滅するときにしか獲得されない。したがって「練習」しても、経験点が蓄積されない。 つまり、前衛にも魔法を覚えさせようとしても無理。ヒッサーを魔法戦士にしたかったができず残念。 UIは全般的に単純化されていて、両手の持ち替えがインベントリでしかできず、ちょっと不便。 調薬の方法も空瓶に魔法キャストして充填するのではなくごくシンプルな材料を調合する方式。 その他、自分のファイアボールでダメージ喰らうのは同じだが「爆風」はない。また何故か飛び道具・武器では自傷はしない。 とはいえ、懐かしく、感慨深く、やっぱり面白い！ DMをインスパイアード・リメイクしてくれたデベロッパに感謝！ ### 2/5 — Run+Jump obstacles are broken on iPad *2021-01-27, version 1.1.3* I was enjoying this game on my iPad, util level 5, Chamber of Pits. This room requires you to execute a perfectly timed sequence of 16 or so moves and jumps. This one room is notoriously hard on a desktop computer, but it's broken on the iPad. The iPad movement controls are simply not precise enough to get through this room. Between the lag, and the touch control inaccuracies, the room is impassable; which means the level is impassable, which means game over. Life is too short to spend hours in one room doing the same finger dance hundreds of times in level 5 of what is supposed to be a 13 level dungeon crawler. L.O.G. on iPad at least needs a patch to slow down these dexterity/choreography tests. The devs could make it optional, for those masochists with tiny baby fingers playing on the fastest, newest devices. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — iPhone X screen size *2019-03-03, version 1.1.3* Would it be so hard for the devs to update this to support iPhone X, XS full screen size? ### 1/5 — Difficult and painstaking *2018-03-05, version 1.1.3* If you are into the kind of game where you’ll progress to level 5 only to run out of food and have to start over without any assurance that you’ll do any better next time because there is literally about 5% of the food you need available from the dungeon, then maybe this is for you. Otherwise it’s tedious and boring! ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time *2018-01-31, version 1.1.3* First I thought i find the best game. I was wrong. Don’t waste your time. I played on easy and after the 3rd level it became very hard. I lost interest. Giant mushrooms, never wanna die, it takes long time to kill them and after a tons of soldiers and double arrow guys with poisoned arrows. Im not saying it’s impossible to make this level but no more adventure at this point only endless fights. I feel like its a waste of time. Other part of this level has a lot of slime. It took me half day to figure it out how to kill them. I just don’t care anymore. My interest went from 100-0. Even its on easy setting its too hard. I started the whole thing over from the first level, because at first i feed them too much I was out of food so fast. I Feel like they created a great game but they don’t test it enough. Next time. Not worth the money. Don’t believe for the 5 star reviews, probably they played the first level only. The first 3 levels are 5 star and then 0. So disappointed. ### 1/5 — Too hard for casual gamer. *2018-01-19, version 1.1.3* Played on normal because it said suitable for most players and I wanted some challenge. By level two, the monsters were killing entire party with a couple hits. It went from zero to ninety and I was still learning how to play! Tutorial doesn’t really get in detail on spell casting with mages and there is who separate menu for selecting spells. Also, really easy to pull up character menu in middle of fight instead of selecting fight icon. I looked up tips and everyone said you had to side fight monsters in open spaces. Not easy to do on iPhone with buttons that pull up player detail screens in middle of fight. I am not a hard core gamer but thought an RGP game could be fun. Characters are too weak to take on deadly monsters and if you don’t know how to run and fight on bad controls, you are done. Do not buy this game unless you are experienced gamer really familiar with strategies required in maze fighting. Shame, I did like first level, but after twenty plus tries, I give up. Not something for a casual gamer just wanting to build characters to match level challenges. I looked up other reviews and people were saying Easy level gets you a little more easier play but not for long and monsters will still be super hard on higher levels. I won’t find out because I am taking it off my phone before I throw it against the wall. ### 1/5 — Things missing *2017-11-26, version 1.1.3* In the original windows version you could hold on to the eye stones, but in the Mac version you can not take the eyes stones back to use them as you go forward. ### 1/5 — Save file corrupted *2017-05-09, version 1.1.3* After playing and grinding exp for 20+ hours I load a save and it goes straight to game over....very disappointing, you stole a day of my life LoG... ### 1/5 — Three words *2016-03-12, version 1.1.3* Three words: Copy and paste. Uninspiring, repetitive, boring ### 1/5 — Upgrade breaks saved games *2015-10-24, version 1.1.3* My review is about the upgrade rather than the game. I was 10 hours in and enjoying the game very much. Upgrade prevents existing games loading. Have re-installed game and restored still the same problem. Sent an email to support but no answer - frustrating! ### 1/5 — Crashes all the time *2015-10-15, version 1.1.3* This would be a great game, but it crashes all the time and you lose so much progress. Shouldn't have to save it every minute or so, shame. Only cost 79 pence, but that has been a waste of money. ### 1/5 — 다운이... *2015-10-09* 다운이 안되요... ios 7 인데 다운로드하다가 메세지 뜨면서 다운이 안되요 고쳐주세요 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Difficult but rewarding *2025-09-15, version 1.1.3* A fairly hardcore “blobber” rpg dungeon crawler. The monsters are scary, the puzzles are puzzling, and many of the magical artifacts feel like artifacts, both being harder to obtain and giving you an advantage over more mundane items that are easy to acquire. This is pretty much exactly what I was looking for on the appstore, and I hope there is another similar game on here. ### 5/5 — Локализация на другие языки. *2025-04-23* В принципе на эту игру есть разные локализации официальные, не понимаю почему нельзя добавить их здесь. ### 5/5 — Still great after all these years *2025-01-21, version 1.1.3* I’ve been playing LOG since it first came out. Once I go through the entire game, I put it aside for a few years, then come back and play it all over again. I’m coming up on my 66th birthday, having played D&D using graph paper and very ordinary excited die starting when I was 17 in the 1970s. My one frustration with this game is realizing that the puzzles that rely on speed and the ability to slide back-and-forth are almost beyond my ability now. Currently, I’m stuck begging my 23-year-old youngest to puhleze help me out here. The graphics are solid, the limited number of species and archetypes within the party are pretty much in keeping with the origins of the genre. There are a lot of different types of enemies and a lot of really confusing and challenging puzzles. My only suggestion to those who are new to LOG is save *a lot*, hoard your potions as much as possible (even if it means reloading the game), enjoy the escargot and, have fun by not racing through to the end. ### 5/5 — Dungeon master Atari ST *2024-09-20, version 1.1.3* Was my favourite game back in the day. This is a fantastic clone of that. I purchased ages ago l but never got round to playing. Really good fun and well worth every penny. Congratulations to the dev ### 5/5 — Dungeon Master on IOS *2024-03-24, version 1.1.3* If you played the classic Dungeon Master on an Atari ST or Commodore Amiga then you will love this and be right at home. This is essentially the exact same game type. If, however, you are looking for a modern first person RPG, or aren’t really into retro gaming, then there’s a chance you will hate this game. The reviews here all seem to mostly be in those two camps. Dungeon Master was revolutionary for its time and this brings back those good feels. I’m stoked a company is doing this kind of thing. Thanks for the updated memories, Dev Team! ### 5/5 — Amazing RPG Game! *2023-12-22, version 1.1.3* Amazing game! Incredible level designs, fun, rewarding retro style RPG. ### 5/5 — Superb *2023-11-15, version 1.1.3* Superb game if you played old dungeon exploring games many years ago. Very much like Dungeon Master and just as engaging ### 5/5 — A Classic RPG *2023-05-20, version 1.1.3* This Game is so much fun with heaps of exploration and puzzles to solve. I find most D&D RPG’s to daunting because of the complexity in skill levels but this game has been easy to just play at my own pace. My only regret is that I didn’t give it a try sooner. Bring on part 2. ### 5/5 — Love this game *2023-03-07, version 1.1.3* Awesome game, just like the old snes dungeon masters. Please put legends of Grimrock 2 in app form soon. ### 5/5 — Such a great adventure *2023-01-04, version 1.1.3* This game is great for those who love to be surprised by every turn and want to use their brain. I highly suggest it! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
