Description
Enter an apocalyptic fantasy world where humanity is on the brink of extinction, iron is valued above gold and trust is hard earned. This ARPG features complex character development, hundreds of unique items, crafting and quests with choice & consequence.
  • Dual Class - Combine any of six distinct classes with over 25 skills and modifiers per class. Base classes include Soldier, Demolitionist, Occultist, Nightblade, Arcanist and Shaman.
  • Hundreds of Item Skills - Augment your class build with a diverse array of over 250 unique skills granted by items and equipment add-ons.
  • Collect hundreds of Items - Common, magical, rare, epic and legendary classes of loot. Plus over 20,000 possible magical affix combinations and over 200 rare affixes.
  • Quests with Choice and Consequence - You will face tough decisions that leave significant impacts upon the world. Strangers on the road, desperate families and even entire villages may live or perish based on your actions. Currently over 35 quests with 75+ lore notes to be collected.
  • Friendly and Enemy Factions - Earn favor with human factions to unlock additional quest lines, vendor discounts and special faction-based items and augments. Some neutral factions can be turned into allies but aiding one will make the enemy of another. Hostile factions will remember your deeds and deepen their hatred of you, sending out large packs and elite heroes to hunt you down.
  • Devotion, an additional layer of skill customization allows you to acquire bonuses and powerful secondary effects for your class skills. These are unlocked from a giant constellation map with points acquired by finding and restoring destroyed or corrupted shrines hidden throughout the world.
  • Rebuild the World - Help human enclaves survive and flourish by securing vital necessities, rebuilding structures and rescuing survivors who can then lend their services to your cause.
  • 4 Person Multiplayer - Connect with Friends or make new allies in glorious multiplayer. Multiplayer encounters will put your teamwork to the ultimate challenge.
  • Fast-paced Visceral Combat - Enemy blood spatters, ragdoll physics and satisfying enemy death effects. Smash in doors and fight house to house, leaving a path of demolished furniture in your wake.
  • Rotatable Camera - If you choose to survey the full beauty of the world and always fight from the most optimal angle. Levels are still designed so that players are not forced to rotate the camera; it is purely optional.
  • Secrets and Perils Abound - 200+ Enemy heroes and bosses, hand-configured with their own unique arrays of deadly skills. 20+ secret areas hidden behind crumbling walls, hidden gaps and mysterious locked doors. Explode obstacles or repair structures to open new paths.
  • Rogue-Like Dungeons - Descend into special locked challenge dungeons that require a rare crafted key, where enemy levels increase as you progress and player teleport is disabled. There is no way out except to complete the dungeon or die trying.
  • Dynamic Weather - The world is brought to life with region-specific climates and a variety of weather effects. A sunny day can cloud over with mild rain showers that builds into a booming thunderstorm. Variable wind gusts blow grass and affect objects like windmills.
  • Recipe Based Crafting - Collect over 250 crafting recipes that allow you to combine salvaged components into unique crafted items and then, later, use those basic crafted items with higher-tiered recipes to complete items of amazing power.
  • Reclaim Skill Points - The ability to pay to reclaim points alleviates the fear and frustration of having to make early, uninformed skill choices that could permanently gimp a character.

8.7/10
Grim Dawn is one of the best action-RPGs out there, combining excellent hack and slash action with a world and progression curve that makes it worth fighting through. Alone or with friends, it's hour after hour of top quality combat and looting, with the promise of many more excellent dark times to come.

It's a little hobbled by old-school stylings and the story could be better, but few modern hack-and-slash RPGs are quite so fun.

Grim Dawn is a familiar, yet satisfying romp through a role-playing genre that's seen its fair share of innovations and dynamic methods to shoot and loot. Its setting is a nice change from the usual fantasy titles and its features and content are more than enough to keep you entertained for quite some time.

Niche, but not particularly exciting.

It's a lot like diablo. You wander around, get attacked by hordes of enemies, and click on them or point vaguely in their direction and pew-pew at them. Oh, and they all come back when you log off. As it goes on there are more and more grindy MMORPG elements - grinding for parts, grinding for special gear, grinding for faction approval. And the result is... meh. Some games you finish and it's emotional. This one, I finished and various faction-grind missions were left undone, and I thought "well, no need to bother with those, then". So why bother? Well, if you like diablo, and you really like a challenge, you could try turning the difficulty all the way up and seeing if it's a challenge? It might or might not be, IDK. Alternatively, the attraction is abnegation. You're tired, you're stressed, and you don't want anything difficult. You just want to take your brain out and pewpew at hordes of enemies for a while. In that case, this game has you covered.

Good game with the same map always

The game is good and feels like Diablo, but the map is always the same all the time. So probably you finish the game like 2 times and that's it.

Great game, buggy multiplayer

Game is fantastic, though if you want to play with other people there will probably be horrible latency, crashing, or other bugs preventing you from actually enjoying the game. Another thing that detracts from it is the fact that $40 of DLC is pretty much mandatory to feel like you're playing a full game.

Bugs all the way...

Singleplayer is definitely fun, but I bought it (let's say 70%), because of the LAN support. So many network related bugs, we couldn't get it to work with 4 players. So much time spent looking for a fix. The forums are full of those problems, but it seems like no one cares about the LAN feature. Tried choosing a different LAN adapter in the settings, instant freeze. Error messages without explanation: "There is a network problem"...yeah, well I can imagine that. Diablo 2 never had any network issues. It just worked. Matchmaking is awful in GD. If you're looking for single player experience: Jay! LAN: Definitely Nay! It is sad. Now, I'm going to play single player and then after some weeks remove it from my SSD. For me, this is the first GOG mispurchase.

The rogue with a deadly cold

I have only ONE gripe about this game: melee attack animations are garbage! For example a character dual wielding swords (which has high attack speed) seems to kill enemies by sneezing on them every 0.5 seconds because the attack animations stops at the beginning, when he tilts his head forward, and the interval of time between each swing doesn't scale. Everything else is fine.
