About this game

Set in a realm of eternal night, Grim Omens is a story-driven RPG that puts you in the shoes of a fledgling vampire, a creature of blood and darkness struggling to maintain the grip on their fading humanity in a mysterious and lore-rich dark fantasy setting.

The game combines classic dungeon crawling, familiar turn-based combat, and various roguelike and tabletop elements to create an accessible old-school RPG experience. It relies on written storytelling and hand-drawn artwork to immerse you into its world, often feeling similar to a solo a DnD (Dungeons & Dragons) campaign or even a Choose Your Own Adventure book.

The 3rd entry in the Grim series, Grim Omens, is a standalone sequel to Grim Quest. It refines the established formula of Grim Quest and Grim Tides, all the while offering an intricate story and detailed lore that ties in with other games in Grim series in strange and unexpected ways. Even so, you can play it without any previous experience or knowledge of the series.

The monetization model is a freemium one, which means you can play the game with a few ads, or you can get rid of them, permanently and completely with a one-time purchase, effectively buying the game. No other purchases are required.

Ratings and reviews

Love the game, has lots of fun combinations possible, although there may be some balancing needed. It's way more difficult the tides or quest, but what makes it even harder for me is that for some reason I can't get the ads to play for the wages... please fix it. :( I'd love to pay for ads-free IAP, but I was hoping it could be around $5.00 or so. If there were a sale on it, I'll definitely buy it.

Enjoying it a lot more than the previous games. There are a few issues though: 1) Successfully asking for tribute in Fur and Fury event does not give us the item. It shows the item but it is not sent to our inventory. 2) Catalyst is a bit too rare considering how necessary it is for making potions. I am on 3rd region, already completed the first 2 till level 30 and so far I have recieved only 4 catalysts. 3) Lack of content/Repetition. Would like more stuff to do. The rest is good.

Dev has continued to improve gameplay over the two earlier games in the series. Combat and dungeon crawling uses the same basic grid throughout (so far) and does get a little boring and repetitious, even though you have a better range of options for skills, spells, and items. So it's not quite 5.0, more 4.5. Compensating for this is an interesting back story with lots of documents and non-combat interactions, which makes the game more than just hacking and spellcasting.
