Legend of Grimrock is a 2012 action role-playing game video game developed and published by Almost Human. The title is a 3D grid-based, real-time dungeon crawler based on the 1987 game Dungeon Master.^[1] It was released for Windows in April 2012, OS X and Linux in December 2012, iOS in May 2015,^{[citation needed]} and Nintendo Switch on 15 January 2024.^[2]

Legend of Grimrock was the debut game of Almost Human, a four-man Finnish indie development team formed in February 2011, which self-financed the title's development.^[3] A sequel, Legend of Grimrock II, was released in 2014.

^ Edge Staff (12 April 2012). "Legend Of Grimrock review". Edge. Retrieved 9 May 2012. Legend Of Grimrock isn't a love letter to Dungeon Master, the 1987 blend of subterranean exploration, survival, switches and traps. It's a near-facsimile. But that's not a fact Almost Human is trying to hide; it's the selling point. Legend Of Grimrock replicates a classic faithfully enough to massage the nostalgia glands of anyone who played the original, and it's a test of the timelessness of an almost universally loved game.
