Ratings and reviews

I gave it a decent try. I even supported them by buying a starter pack because I just like small project games. The game has a story and easy to understand mechanics. But it's just a grind. There are randomly generated dungeons you go through literally hundreds of them, fighting slight variations of the same monsters hundreds of times till your character hits a level to unlock more of the story. Lots of games have grindy parts, but this one appears to be a grind all the way through.

I like the game so far. I would like to see more complexity in the combat system though, I have yet to come across ranged weaponry. There are no specific classes, it's all about your build and equipment and that's fine. I was looking for more of a D&D kind of gameplay, but this isn't quite that. It's not a bad game to pass the time, especially since it also works offline. ,

Great game, really, though it does have mechanics with skills that doesn't make sense such as they are limited, the original game (Grim quest) didn't have that and what's stopping someone from realistically swinging an axe really hard. plus another like nibble grace where you have a chance to dodge enemy abilities, sounds pretty good right? well this only works if you have equipped a stabbing type weapon like a spear or a dagger, if these little flaws where fixed this game be worthy of 5 stars.
