New dungeon crawlers ?

[Tom Baker's Arse]

Other than Grimwah, are there any other new OR up and coming dungeon crawlers that I should be aware of ?

I'm super pumped for Charles-cgr 's Sovereign, but idk whether there's already a release date.

Unexplored. It's marketed as a roguelite, but its dungeon generation routines are absolutely fantastic, and can generate environmental challenges, puzzles that span several levels, and even options for alternative approaches to some situation. And they are quite different from playthrough to playthrough - after a few dozen characters I'm still encountering new things. I was a firm believer that nothing good will ever come out of procedural generation, but this game proved me wrong. Plus combat isn't very twitchy, despite how it's presented in the trailer - it's much slower and more tactical, and you can alway pause. Basically, it's much more of an Ultima Underworld than any kind of roguelike/roguelite. The only (small) gripe I have with it is that the character progression is entirely item-based - but on the other hand, that adds to (already pretty tight) resoruce management.

On the upcoming front, there's Dungeon Kingdoms: Sign of the Moon and Aeon of Sands, but when either is coming out is anyone's guess.

Aren't indie Grimrock inspired games popping on Steam every now and then?

I've taken a look at Unexplored, but frankly the art style really bothers me. Had been looking at this http://steamcommunity.com/app/366510, earlier today as a possibility. Not sure if it is shovelware or not.

You get used to it. It's actually not that bad, just very stylized.

It's competent but not too exciting. On the plus side, the dungeon seems rather complex, with many interconnected areas. On the down side, it's also rather empty, at least at the start (I didn't get very far). There is at least one NPC (doubling as shopkeeper).

Grimoire 2 is coming in 20 years.

Also, depending on what's your first priority in a dungeon crawler, you may want to give 7 Mages a try (if you haven't already). It has great level desing, but character building is weak, and there's no looting to speak of.

Bard's Tale IV

But after creating eight party members in Grimoire, rolling only five is going to feel like a step down.

 

[Tom Baker's Arse]

When is Bard's Tale IV slated to be finished ? 2019 or something like that ?

Staying well away from the Neanderthal's Creation, at least until it has matured

In Dungeon Crawler years, that would be considered up and coming.

^ This.

His first, Swords and Sorcery - Underworld, was a lot of fun.

There's a game that plays and looks a lot like LOG, ''Fall of the Dungeon Guardians'' or something like that. It's got MMO combat tho, I mean it's basicly world of warcraft meets Grimrock.

 

[AbounI]

Dungeon Rats of course.
Otherwise, Dungeon Kingdom : Sign of the Moon, still in EA

 

[DemonKing]

I liked http://store.steampowered.com/app/492500/Heroes_of_the_Monkey_Tavern/ a lot - there's a demo if you want to try it out.

 

[RuySan]

Both The Keep and The Quest are decent although real time and single character.

Lords of xulima is the best game in a long time with the soul of the classics

So are there any which have turn based combat or is every new game in that genre a real time EoB/Grimrock clone?

The Quest isn't real time, the combat is just very basic.

Everything in that game is very basic tbh, not just the combat. One of my biggest disappointments.

7 Mages.
