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.

Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
BE CAREFUL you can NOT play with other players that have paid for and installed the expansions/DLC
for some reason this game is in no way workable (you can't join them, they can't join you) with its DLC's, if one of your friends has the dlc then they can't join you without reinstalling the 'normal' game,
I am a fairly casual ARPG player. I finished Diablo 3, played some PoE and had fun with Victor Vran.
Out of the ones i played, Grim Dawn is the worst by far. Extremely boring enemies and abilities. Tedious to play. Unless youre a hardcore fan of the genre id say this is a stay the fk away.
If you havent played Victor Vran and really want to buy a great budget ARPG, get that instead!
This game deserve at least 4.5 stars, maybe even a 5 stars. But something happened that made me rate lower. You know that GOG had DRM free in mind right? Well they failed with this game. You cannot play online without GOG Galaxy, they are forcing you using it which they also lied and told everyone it was optional. If you do like Diablo then give this one a try.
Grim Dawn is overall not a bad game, but it has some issues, for example the grind: if you are not into that and would rather like to play the game as is, then I would highly recommend you download the stash.
With it you will not just be able to play the game the way you want, but for those who lack the time, desire or effort to do so, and waste hours upon hours of their life in the sensless grind: they may actually play it every now and then and be satisfied with the game.
Grind this, grind that, kill “monster a” kill “monster b”, talk to “character x” go to Y place to get Z quest’s item: you get the idea? That is basically the game’s structure: boring, lifeless, uninteresting, and don’t even get me started on the armour, classes and all that crap, and the difficulties. Speaking of which:
The game itself is typical, nothing extraordinary and certainly nothing you have never seen before, in short: it is your usual RPG. With cults, factions, etc: the nerds dream if you like. The characters for the most part are forgettable, and the game doesn’t forget itself nor what it is: a mindless game about killing monsters.
Very similar to Crimsonland, at its core: so as said above, if you are into the grind; go for it, if you rather play the game for what it is and enjoy it to your hearts content (either because you lack the time/interest/effort or you are just not into the 'fun' grind stuff and would like to play it the way you desire (and don’t mind cheating a bit)); then I suggest you get the stash.
So yea, go for it downers!
And if naught of this stuff convinces you, then just do yourself a favour and buy the og Battlefront II (2005) and have fun. Games nowadays are either super boring or interactive movies anyway: So buying an old gem every now and then is nice.
Particularly when it actually comes to enjoyment and fun, and not just interaction with 'character a' and 'character b': just mindless, sensless fun without restrains, and mods only make them better.
