RPG Gamers summaryGrim Dawn is an action role-playing game set in an apocalyptic fantasy world on the brink of extinction. With intricate character development and over 25 skills and modifiers per class, players can choose from six distinct classes, including Soldier, Demolitionist, Occultist, Nightblade, Arcanist and Shaman. The game offers a varied array of over 250 unique skills granted by items and equipment add-ons, as well as common, magical, rare, epic, and legendary classes of loot making for a diverse game experience. Grim Dawn has over 35 quests within which players face tough decisions, leaving significant impacts upon the world. As players aid human enclaves they can collect bonuses and powerful secondary effects for their class skills. By rebuilding the world, players earn favor with human factions, unlock additional quest lines, vendor discounts and special faction-based items and augments. Grim Dawn offers fast-paced visceral combat featuring enemy blood spatters, ragdoll physics and satisfying enemy death effects. The game is designed with a rotatable camera for optimal strategizing, but players are not forced to rotate the camera; it’s optional. Grim Dawn provides over 200 enemy heroes and bosses, hand-configured with their own unique arrays of deadly skills. The game includes 20 secret areas hidden behind crumbling walls, hidden gaps, and mysterious locked doors for players to uncover. Dynamic weather brings life to the world, varying from region to region. There is also a recipe-based crafting mechanism, allowing players to combine salvaged components into unique crafted items, which in turn can be used with higher-tiered recipes to complete items of amazing power. Sweat and effort are alleviated by the ability to reclaim skill points, alleviating the fear of having to make uninformed choices that could permanently gimp the character. Grim Dawn is made by Crate Entertainment, an independent studio founded by lead gameplay designer of Titan Quest. The game is receiving constant updates and players are encouraged to provide feedback and be part of the game’s development through polls and discussions in the forums.
