Vaporum - new steampunk style modern DM game

Post by Gambit37 »

Now this looks lovely: VAPORUM. A new DM style game set in a steampunk world. Great to see the classic gameplay in a different setting for a change.

It's just been Greelit on Steam too. My gaming is very limited these days, but this could draw me back.... Nice :)

It seems incredibly similar to Grimrock - same guys? But yes, looks great! :)
The stonework walls? Pristine. The floor? Level. The waterworks? Flowing. Central heating? The Dragon in the basement was grumpily heating the pipes. Lord Chaos consulted the blueprints again, looking for the bathroom. #playmygame!

Nope, it's not the Grimrock guys, they have a completely new game in the works (a turn based thingy).

I guess the downside of all these modern dungeon crawlers is that Grimrock will forever be the 'daddy' -- the same way DM was back in the day ;-)

Looks like it takes place way in the future, doom like style. For me it would be all about the controls. This game looks very interesting indeed.

I know what you mean about controls... I've never got far into 'Eye of the Beholder' because the keys are too awkward - sorry, did I just admit that here?

It takes some getting used to. Black Crypt was also different, then there was Crystal Dragon which was a fantastic game, loved the controls. It's all about the controls.
