Grim Trials

This game was not what I expected in an era where rougelites are far too common. This game stands out for its story that connects existential issues. NPCs further enhance the story; combat is simple and engaging due to the quest that requires you to change builds but also rewards you for the attempt. Rouge lite can be complex at times, but this game makes it really simple and easy to digest. Great game.

Hi, I'm not gonna touch too much on if you should buy the game, just try the demo if that's your why you're here. My one and only complaint for the devs, is that after beating the game, it feels like there's nothing to do. I beat the final boss long before unlocking the full tree, but runs are so easy between having great gear and no boss rematches unless you go out of your way, but then you're still missing the cool boons from doing room clears. My request is just giving us a way to refight bosses. A difficulty modifying system would also be appreciated, but one thing at a time. Double thumbs up, I loved my time with this game.

played the demo , great game really liked the weapons and the combat .

UPDATE: The first boss of the game has been balanced so it shouldn't take you too long to beat it now. Art is beautiful and the music is very good. Definitely the strongest part of the game. Gameplay loop is pretty solid. You go to combat, collect resource, most likely die, and then go back to the academy to craft potions and gears for your next run. Its probably good idea to do grocery runs to stack up resources and potions until you're really ready to fight the boss. The first part of the game is a bit too slow in my opinion. They don't give you a lot of options in terms of equipment, just 1 heavy axe to replace your scythe and 1 replacement gears for each slot. With how insanely messy the first boss can get, you're gonna be stuck grinding for skill upgrades before you can get new toys. If you're interested in a stylish hack and slash roguelite, give this one a try!

Grim Trials is an enjoyable action roguelite, with crafting and build customization being its biggest strengths. Gathering materials, crafting equipment, and combining it with skills and blessings gives you a reason to keep experimenting. Unfortunately, the amount and variety of content left me wanting more. Bosses, enemies, and weapon options feel limited. I finished the game in around three hours without completing everything, so your playtime may vary. Still, just as I was getting into my builds, the credits rolled. My Reaper hadn’t even passed probation yet! A short game isn’t automatically bad value. In this case, though, the systems encourage experimentation, and I wish there were more challenges and equipment to make repeat runs more rewarding. At the full Thai Steam price of ฿345, I would personally wait for a sale. It’s worth considering if you enjoy the Reaper theme, crafting, and a compact roguelite experience. If you’re looking for dozens of hours of replayability with plenty of weapons and enemy variety, it may leave you unsatisfied. I received a free game key for content creation. These opinions reflect my own experience.

even though it is a rougelike there are not that many upgrades that could really alter how you play there are only a small amount and most are just increasing your survivability the ones that do effect damage are to small to make a playstyle around. I also kept getting a bug where my controls would lock up after talking to characters and there is also no way to save in the middle of a run.
