Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan vs Legend of Grimrock

For centuries the massive tree Yggdrasil has loomed over the city of Tharsis, its roots hidden in an uncharted land. As the newest member of the Explorers Guild, you board a skyship and set out into the clouds to uncover its secrets. Navigate hand‑drawn labyrinths, recruit a customizable party, and battle turn‑based foes while seeking treasure, fame, and the answers to Tharsis' oldest mystery.

Legend of Grimrock is an old‑school dungeon crawling RPG that draws inspiration from classics like Dungeon Master and Eye of the Beholder. Players control a party of four prisoners, exploring a massive underground spire filled with hidden switches, traps, and ancient secrets. The game emphasizes tactical real‑time combat, rune‑based spellcasting, and potion crafting as you battle monsters and uncover lost artifacts. With an optional Oldschool Mode that removes the automap, it challenges even veteran dungeon crawlers to rely on pure perception and map‑making skills.
