I'm a bit annoyed by the combat and how easy it is (at least up to level 6) to lure opponents to a closeable gate, lower the gate, raise it, hit them, lower the gate, rinse and repeat. It works wonders, but it's not particularly interesting gameplay. The only alternative I see is running backwards and in circles, which isn't much more fun. Perhaps I'm doing it wrong, but it's difficult to see it as that if it helps me through fights that I'd otherwise lose.
It's impossible to play the game properly(you and the enemy just stand on your squares and spam attacks) because the enemies are just so damn accurate/strong that neither evasion nor protection will save your ass. I don't know, maybe if you'd REALLY stack the two but then again you could just find a 2x2 space and be able to kill every enemy in the game without being hit once so why bother.
That's why playing solo as Toorum is the only way to enjoy this game.

Currently in level 7!
Man, this is fun, though I have to agree that the magic system does suck some, having to invest the required skill points to unlock magic of a certain area, plus finding the scroll with the correct runes to cast it (or stumble on the spell by clicking randomly).
Still awesome, though. Wheeee!
:D

You can cast the spells without finding the scrolls if you know the combination(i.e. from previous playthrough or checking the nice guide at Gamebanshee)

Shame you still need to reach a particular level in a particular field of magic to learn -one- more spell to cast in said field. Oh well...details, nothing that breaks the game's fun :)

When your car is broken, no amount of new tracks will make driving it fun

And to that I would say: don't try and drive a manual (stick) if you're only happy driving an automatic.

I'd say it doesn't matter if the car is broken if Koki's mom is in it and the seats fold back far enough.

I greatly enjoyed Legend of Grimrock when I started it - but then, somewhere around level 5 or 6, I suddenly lost interest. I'm sure I'll get back to it, but just like Dungeon Master those many, many years ago it's not a game that can hold my attention. (I'm probably too much of a story whore.)
