Just completed the game -review
Hi everyone. I just love these types of games. Took me 12hrs to complete. I found it on the easy side (only used potions /resurrect scrolls in final battle).
I had 2 rogues, 1 fighter and 1 mage. First 3 were dual wielding.
I totally recommend this game. The art design of all the items is very good. Spells effects, monsters are well done. I like the fact that monsters sometime move very quickly and make it much harder to evade (much faster than in Legend of Grimrock).
I liked pretty much everything about it. Not too many secret doors , and was only stuck once, for a while (that darn puzzle with green, red and blue teleport near the end).
Story was good. The only negative for me, there was a little too much text to read.
Some very minor glitches , like dropping items and not able to retrieve them after required a re-load. Zero crash. just though of a bug that should be fixed: towards the end, you need to find 4 glowing spheres, I had place 2 of them on the pilars, and went searching for other 2. Later when I placed other 2, the door did not open. I had to remove all the spheres and place all 4 again for the door to open.

Have fun.

Someone else already gave the answer in the bug tread:

you need to make it move to the pressure plate, was quite difficult im not sure if there is a logical pattern but there are places on the room that if you step on the golem moves to certain direction, you have to find out how to reach the pressure plate without it walking on a wall or a chasm.
Best advice is to sketch on a piece of paper which tiles makes the golem move to what direction

Thank you for the review...I love "gridders" also. I'm early on in the first cave and can't open a portcullis that looks like it has a broken lever but the lever is just a blunt weapon lying on the ground to the right. The receptacle for the lever is next to the door but can't be interacted on.

Any help appreciated.

The lever is just a weapon. The door can be opened in a different way. Look around, there is another mechanism.

Directly next to the door. Turn and look closely.
