I had the same thing. This was from another thread, and it worked for me:

here is what is says to do:
Secondary Installers
If you're encountering issues with launching Legend of Grimrock, make sure everything installed smoothly.

Aside from verifying your game cache and checking your connection with Steam, you may also need to manually run secondary installers required by this game.

Exit Steam entirely.

Browse to your Legend of Grimrock installation folder (Usually C:\Program files\Steam\Steamapps\common\legend of grimrock\)

Run the following installers:

...\Steamapps\Common\legend of grimrock\vcredist\vcredist_x86.exe
...\Steamapps\Common\legend of grimrock\DirectX\DXSetup.exe
Reboot your computer and test any issues again
