How it feels

Coldfire Keep feels like a methodical plunge into a handcrafted maze of corridors and combat, evoking the deliberate pacing of late 80s and early 90s dungeon crawlers.

What players say

Players are split on Coldfire Keep. Some call it a pleasant, simple grid-based dungeon crawler for nostalgic players with little time, others say it is a bare bones mobile port with no options menu, repetitive combat, a dull leveling system and an abrupt ending. Reviews often compare it unfavorably to Legend of Grimrock and Eye of the Beholder.
