Falagar - A Journey [v. 1_372 Sep 2021]

Have you rated the mod yet? Busy, eh? Do it already and become a better person, I promise.

Falagar is a long journey in an entirely new world and a true adventure with roughly 70 hours of gameplay.

You are chosen and sent to rid the world of the evil Dragonrider and his four guardians who hold the key to his demise - the elemental spheres. Party character development in many new ways, exploration of the vast world and discovery of the many benefitial secrets are the main focus of this rather challenging total conversion.

A number of changes to the main game's mechanics and entirely new systems have been added to bring fresh air, even for seasoned players of Legend of Grimrock, not to mention the new graphics for items, new 3D models and tile sets (biomes). Due to the nature of traits, character choice and requirements, no playthrough is the same. So what are you waiting for?
