This game entered development in 1997. Two entire decades ago!

The game that we’re talking about is Grimoire, which you can find on Steam here. Grimoire: Heralds of the Winged Exemplar even looks something which has been made in the Windows 95 era.

The RPG was, apparently, inspired by franchises such as Wizardry, Might & Magic, Lands of Lore, Anvil of Dawn, DungeonMaster, and Eye of the Beholder. It sounds good on paper, but allow us to quote the top rated review at the moment: „windowed mode is bugged and causes black screen, can’t close window […] full screen has black borders on left/right and you can’t alt-tab to other processes […] user interface is old-school in a bad way […].”

That already sounds like a botched game, but there’s one more thing: on Indiegogo, the release date was scheduled to be in May 2013. Late by over four years, eh? What a shame.
