Dungeons of the Amber Griffin is an old school RPG in the style of Dungeon Master or Legend of Grimrock, and you can play a demo right now.

, the vast majority of CRPGs since have been pseudo-isometric instead. They've looked down on their miniaturized heroes from a distancing height rather than getting up close to their portraits. It's been a renaissance with plenty of Bruegels, but few Botticellis.

"I am aware that our title, which is based on moving around a grid and rotating 90 degrees, may not appeal to everyone", he says."However, the use of such classic movement mechanics means that the game is not simply a hack and slasher. True, there is an effort to create dynamic and flashy combat, but after defeating the monsters, players have the option to slow down the pace of the game. They can take their time to search the terrain, look for hidden passages and solve puzzles.

A couple of things mark Dungeons of the Amber Griffin out from its subgenre. The most obvious one is how it looks. There are sweetlike pouring rain and snow, dense forests blocking your path, and smoke billowing out of a mushroom-picker's chimney. Much as I like the goony clip-art of Dungeon Master, it's a definite improvement.
