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.

Mixed bag of blessings.

I had a fever, and the cure was something like Diablo 2. I played Diablo 1 when it came out - still got the Prima guide to it. Then I spent countless hours in Diablo 2. Diablo 3 was... underwhelming. So how does Grim Dawn stand out as a Diablo-style ARPG? 1. The presentation The environments are beautiful. The character models and the gear are not. Not jarringly ugly, but Diablo 2's art direction this is not. 2. The sound The sound design is horrible. In Diablo and Diablo 2 you could understand a lot about the world just by listening to it. Each kind of loot made a distinct sound when dropped. Monsters would have unique sounds. In Grim Dawn you can't rely on it. At all. 3. The gameplay It's bad. Like the bastard child of Diablo and World of Warcraft. Bitter, estranged bastard child. Humans and ghosts and undeath only look different - they may also inflict different kinds of damage - but are not as distinct as in BG or even Diablo. The bosses are extremely cheap. Not hard; cheap. After 30 hours here's how the bosses play out: most spawn minions endlessly, some don't. You kite them and once in a while throw a ranged attack or skill at them. Take forever to kill. The loot... isn't worth it. But often are required to progress the game. Too many magical items and rare items and epic items. Too many item effects to realistically manage. Opaque and confusing character progression. At some point in the game there was an acid floor. Did it act as an obstacle in front of a secret? Was it to force the player to find an alternate root? No, it was just there to punish the player for whatever. The developer thought it would be cool to have an acid room. 4. The verdict It's not all bad. Except all the good ideas are carried over from Diablo. Most of the rest... speaks of lack of ability on the developers' part. They seem competent, just not that good at it.

I find it engaging and keep coming back

I was looking for a game that had this Diablo 2 feeling to it. I guess Grim Dawn is closest to D2 gameplay. Its much more I think. The graphics wont dissapoint You and are under continuous development. The gameplay is addictive. There are so many characters and ways You can develop them. There are lots of little things but I keep coming back although I finished the game multiple times with different character classes. Plus the music from the game is really what I remember from D1 and D2.

Most engaging if you face it honestly

Take it from one who ended up taking a half-decade hiatus: cheating (especially zip to godhood) can sap the fun out of this, as much as it may be hard to comprehend. Earn that dopamine.

Really good...not amazing

One of the better diablo "clones". + Interesting setting and lore + dual class system + good dark atmosphere / too much useless loot but thats the problem with all of diablo-likes so whatever / visuals and music are ok, not great not bad - abrupt ending - some bugs also...galaxy didnt track my playtime on this game most of the time...not a game's issue i guess but a warning to anyone who cares about that Overall 7/10 its really good, nothing special however

Still my favorite ARPG

It's just good, and totally worth the price, nearly any price really. I'm in my 40's now, and it's rare for me to put 50 hours into one game. I've put about 260 into Grim Dawn. If you like PoE, Diablo 2/3, Torchlight, Titan Quest, etc. just get it. It's nearly flawless, runs well on even a 5 year old PC, and has so many build options... It'll probably still be getting updates and expansions 10 years from now too, if Titan Quest (same devs) is any indecation.
