So I just finished Heroes of Monkey Tavern, an indie dungeon crawler. I encountered no bugs and got a constant locked 60FPS with maxed details @ 4K. The graphics look quite nice:
Think of it as a “Grimrock lite”, simplified and streamlined so you don’t need walkthroughs to solve it. The puzzles and maps are straightforward, there’s no hunger or light management, and you can rest without penalty.
The characters’ abilities also auto-level so you’ll never experience optimal build paralysis. I had a sub-optimal party and still enjoyed the game on easy difficulty, though I did get close to getting wiped out in a few boss encounters.
If you liked Legend of Grimrock then be sure to pick it up. I’m giving it a shout-out because it’s not well-known and it’s made by just one guy, and he seems really polite in his Steam postings. Encourage good indie developers with your wallet to continue their work.
