The old-school dungeon crawler can be a cruel mistress. First-person movement, gameplay that basically drops you in the middle of a world and tells you to figure it out - it’s certainly a far cry from the handholding that most RPGs do these days. Coldfire keep, reviewed by TouchArcade
Grab It Magazine has a write-up and a trailer for a just released old-school Stonekeep-like RPG
I loved these style of games when I was a kid. Great to see experiences like this emerging for a new generation to enjoy.
Stonekeep was awesome. I remember having to actually turn on the mouse in dos to play that game... cause having a mouse was new at the time.

We’re now living in the ago of gaming where people want something totally brand-new but they also want something old-school, something that will remind them of their pasts and, you know what, some companies are actually pretty damn good at fusing the new and the old into a great game. “Coldfire Keep” developed and published by “Crescent Moon Games” is definitely a game that fits into the what was said in the above sentence; it’s a game that will remind people of the adventure titles of their youth while also giving them just enough to be able to enjoy it in a day and age where high-definition gaming is a must. Unfortunately for everything it does right it also does some things wrong but you can read more about that in the bulk of the review below.
