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.

Decent Time Killer

Not bad, like that they got rid of or your can now filter most junk gear. Seem to be able to carry enough early on so that's another plus. Got very old in TQ, which this is a lot like.

Best aRPG in decades

This is by far, one of the best entries in the genre. Long live the king! Real legacy of Diablo 2 success lies within Grim Dawn. If you've never played it, do not hestitate anymore. This game has everything: the progression loop that is satisfying, great systems, great skill tree, core stats, devotion points, in-depth itemization system. 10/10 must play. Mind the outdated graphics, this is the ultimate aRPG.

Wish I could love it, but..

But it's just too limited. Very small selection of enemy types across the expansive amount of territory you will cover. You won't see much variety from engagements. The story feels paper thin, there are no stand-out characters to attach to. I like the idea of the game but it feels like opponents that are demons, magical demons and undead demons could have been expanded further and displayed some higher concept differentiation. Classes have some neat ideas like swapping damage types to help them synergize with multiclass choices, and they can generally choose between being either melee or ranged focused. I completed the game three times: first with an inquisitor occultist several years back, forgot everything the game was about and came back to #2 the summoner/melee necromancer shaman, trying to be that vampiric army leader archetype. Character #3 was an arcanist who specced everything in to aether damage. Build variety is a definite plus and theres enough for the player to experiment with using respecs in game to keep that feature fresh. Unfortunately the story is atrocious. All of the exciting events of the setting happened months or years prior to your character waking up. You're cleaning up the mess left over, with very little to make you invested and scant reactivity from the game world. Nearing the finish of the base games' content you will be left bewildered by the past 2 or 3 hours of your play time - as the final boss is a total non-sequiteur against what you've been doing the whole game. The expansion Ashes of Malmouth does drag things back on track in that regard, I just wish that AOM had come first and maybe diverted over to the other core plot line later. Even though I am leaving this particular game in a tepid state I am optimistic that a future possible sequel will be much better. This game is a great proof of concept but fails on the execution in enough ways that I can only award it 3/5. FWIW the game ran well at 4k and I never suffered any bugs or crashes. As an ARPG the game is perfectly serviceable and I recommend it to someone just looking for a solid AA game and can look past the shortcomings. I gave the game 85 hours which is much more than I expected to.

Superb and polished to perfection.

Imho, Grim Dawn is the greatest arpg of all time (and yes, I have played the Diablo series). Be sure to get the dlcs as well.
