Absolutely loved the Dungeon Master games as a kid. A friend and I used to play these for hours over the phone updating each other about where our parties were at in the dungeon. 4am and we had high school the next day and we're here plugging away at Dungeon Master: Chaos Strikes Back. The puzzles were the best part of those games, they usually killed you outright a few times until you figured the proper way to do it.
Going two warriors on the front line, rogue and wizard in the rear. It's always been my party of choice.

My iron part for all 4-PCs dungeon crawlers:
FIGHTER (tank)
FIGHTER/ THIEF (depends on the game)
MAGE (for ownage)
PRIEST (for resurrection)

There's only fighter, rogue, and mage so far

New blog entry:
Sounds great! I really hope it sells well (though I can't imagine it not, especially when it inevitably gets put in some indie bundle deal) and they can expand on a sequel as they hinted, and hopefully be able to have more races/classes/locations/etc. But for now, I'll just have to settle with playing the game next week lol.

I have never been much into just dungeon crawlers, but something in line with Might and Magic series i would buy instantly.
I really wish them success

Sadly, it looks like you are incorrect. Digging into the links a bit, their retail outfit for the non AppStore versions, clickygamer or some such, went under and now the links just go to some other junk shit.
In other words, somehow since last Fall or so they've yet to get on with another damn processor and it is impossible to get any of their stuff outside the AppStore.
Why can't they just get on with BMT Micro, Fastspring, Plimus? To say nothing of how incredibly behind version parity has gotten between the main platforms.
Edit: At least it seems that some kind direct email thing is possible as a workaround, but in this day and age that's kinda insane.
Thankfully, the Grimrock devs "get it" in terms of making it not only possible, but easy, for folks to find/buy the game!
No the quest and the first expansion are on the PC, but the five expansions released by another developer are both free for 3 of them, and paid for the newest two. The expansions are not pc capable though.
I talked to the dev of The Quest about it. He said it might be going free later this year when he releases his new game.
The Quest dev said he tried to release on GoG and steam but they turned him down.

Hi xxxx,
We only created one expansion for The Quest, Islands of Ice and Fire. All other expansions for sale on iOS were created by Zarista Games (zaristagames.com). (And they have created more than four.
We tried to sell The Quest on Steam and on GoG, but they rejected it for distribution. I'm sure we could find a way to sell the PC version somewhere, but, to be honest, at this point I don't think we'll make the effort. At the time clicgamer.com closed (where we sold the PC version), the interest were almost nonexistent.
You can still buy The Quest and our expansion from us, just write to Sylon (sylon@redshift.hu), he handles it. You can pay using paypal or direct bank transfer. Yes the price is more than on iOS, but we think it's still worth it.
To be even more honest, I think we'll release the PC version of The Quest for free later this year, when we release our new game. But I think you wouldn't waste your money on The Quest, even if you bought the PC version now. It's a long and fun game.

Given their payment connection through Humble/Amazon, I thought they might possibly already be leaning in that direction. Who knows.
Thanks for the heads up. I was starting to look for info about this myself.

I really wish I knew how the iPad version of this would pan out before I preordered this version, if it does the retina resolution and has great touch controls it might be a better fit than playing it on my htpc.

Pre-ordered from the dev's site. Gotta support Finnish devs.

OK, anyone that is interested, I done goofed and bought two copies. So if you'd like one at a discount of even less than the pre-order price, my dumbness is your gain. Send me a PM if interested.
Edit: Gone!

soon ... but not soon enough. I hate waiting for stuff...
Well can't go wrong with those games, a good first introduction to the genre I say! I still haven't played through Etrian Odyssey II & III, or SMT Strange Journey and The Dark Spire... Right now they are sitting here taunting me. But I can't see any point starting on any of them right now, once Grimrock is released I'll jump right on it as fast as I can

You can redeem it now.

Does the GOG version come with a Steam Key? I saw on Almost Human's website that preordering from AH directly will get you the game and a Steam Key.
EDIT: Nevermind, i see it answered above. D'oh!
I think I'll go that route so I can activate it on Steam if true. This will be my weekend game fest. I was a huge Dungeon Master fan back when they released it for the SNES (No PC back then). And yes, it was an SNES game! Though when I tried to buy it at Toys R Us, they didn't carry it. It was very hard to find for some reason. Only place I knew that had it was the rental store. Weird.
I can't wait for LoG. Hope it's great!

Just pre-ordered this yesterday. Thought it came out today for some reason. Went all over the internet this morning going "Y U NO LOAD" and realized it releases tomorrow. D:

It's redeemable right now, it will just make a preorder.Bought a copy from their site. They give a steam key also. Does anyone know if the steam key is redeemable now, or do I have to wait till tomorrow?
At work at the moment.
I'd assume once it's released you'll be able to download it from the same page where you got the key.
It's sold through Humble Bundle, just click the link provided in the email when the game's up, much like you did to get the Steam key.
Alright. I guess I was looking for something akin to a box saying "installer link to be made available from here starting xx.xx.xx".
Thanks.

Nice tag on thread title
So soon? Says 18 hours left for me on Steam. That would make it 7 PM (swedish time).

Skipping the PC version to wait for the iPad version. Hopefully not too far off...
