About this game

The game is available on STEAM:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1477050/Grim_wanderings_2/

The main features of the game:

1) Deep role-playing system
2) Turn-based tactical battles
3) Lots of quests and events
4) Craft items
5) An Interesting world, open to exploration and full of exciting adventures

The second part is the rightful heir of the first. It saves all the key mechanics from the first part and adds a lot of new ones. The combat system is no longer an extension of the classic Disciples. Now it is a completely independent and original game

The game features a huge number of races, from the classic humans, elves and orcs, to much more rarely seen in games, such as lizardmen and ratmen. Characters are formed from 2 components - race and class, similar to my favorite D&D system. This game has 25 character classes to choose from and 37 classes for neutral creatures. Each class has its own set of abilities, which significantly affects the gameplay

Despite the fact that the game has already been released, it will be actively updated and changed. The following things are planned for the future:

1) Add a strategic game mode, with construction in the capital, construction on hexagons and technology research. In fact, it will be a full-fledged 4X strategy with deep role-playing elements

2) Add arena game mode. This mode will represent only fights, without a plot. Battles with other players will be available

3) Add infinite game mode. By analogy with the first part it will not have a plot and the map will be rebuilt at intervals of several dozen moves

4) Add an impressive number of unique legendary artifacts

5) Significantly increase the number of available random events when exploring territories

6) Add events when moving around the global map and events at the beginning of the player's turn

7) Add a game editor. It will allow you to create your own events, quests, and even full-fledged campaigns. It will also allow to edit artifacts, races, classes, and character abilities. Game may be changed in it beyond recognition

When creating this game, I was most influenced by the following great computer games: might and magic 6 (1998), X-COM: UFO Defense (1994) and the Sid Meier's Civilization series of games. Classic board games also had a major impact

Ratings and reviews

It has some interesting design choices, but the balance is severely lacking. The tactics are quite limited. The shield block ability on the warriors is a very bad choice that only a complete noob would use, it needs to prevent more than it does to offset the action and action points it is wasting. Resting and attacking is too important. The same with the energy refill abilities.Maybe in later game those matter and you can add them as late game unlocks but early game that is a wasted choice.

Not sure if it's a bug on my phone or if other people have it, but every time I switch to another app and back into the game, I can't interact with anything. I see the animations of clicking buttons and hear the sounds but it doesn't do anything, and I have to restart the game and lose progress. The game seems interesting enough, but get frustrated with playing due to this bug.

Game is real fun, but the lack of a real tutorial can cause you to fumble around for a bit before you make heads or tails of anything. This is about the only issue I found so far, and if there was a tutorial added, I'll rate 5 stars cause the game is fun as hell but that issue can throw new players off on wanting to play the game.
