The sequel to the old-school cRPG game, developed by Finnish studio Almost Human in 2012. Originally, the production was to be an extension to the "one", but over time it was developed into a full-fledged sequel.

Legend of Grimrock II is the sequel to the well-received 2012 indie game. It was developed by Almost Human, the creators of both installments. Although the game remains a dungeon crawler, it introduces numerous improvements, including open spaces, new items, weapons, and the like. The idea for the game was born while working on an expansion for Legend of Grimrock – ; the developers had so many ideas that they decided to create a full-fledged sequel, instead.

In Legend of Grimrock II, we take control of a team of four convicts, who were sent to the island of Nex. That's the biggest change in the sequel, as the game now allows us to explore not only dungeons, like in the predecessor, but also open spaces (forests, swamps, ancient ruins, towers and so on) during day and night.
