Grim Wanderings

At some point in gaming, it became fashionable to make needlessly difficult games. This is one such game. On normal difficulty, you will REGULARLY encounter opposition far and away more powerful than your group within the first couple of turns. Although you can sometimes survive such encounters, your game will then be crippled since the game uses food and gold to constrict your progress and recovering from such an encounter erodes your supply of both. Even if you do manage to overcome such an encounter, there are even more ridiculous encounters in store. It's only a matter of time before you encounter opposition against which you have ZERO chance. Easy mode is not noticeably easier. This game is not at all balanced. It seems as if it were programmed by a single person without the resources for any kind of play testing.

Cheap version of Disciples II, minus the map. Instead you maneuver over a grid. Battles are very similar. LIked it.

EDIT - I've changed the review to 'Recommended' now, after figuring out some ways of making the game a little easier (and I just completed the campaign as a result). - Each time you visit a town, the save game icon appears along the bottom - USE IT! - If you can recruit any of the units who do physical damage on one turn AND magic damage on their second - recruit them! - The game is quite enjoyable when you don't feel like you're doomed from the start, although I did experience a weird bug where once I equipped some items, I couldn't remove them. This game is absolutely brutal in terms of difficulty. On Normal difficulty, I've had to restart 8 different playthroughs within 4 hours, because the game just keeps throwing impossible battles at me based on the stage I'm at - e.g. whilst all my characters are level 1, I'm thrown against level 3 enemies on a tile that wasn't even a battle tile (like a food tile for example). I've tried different compositions and recently made it to have 6 level 5-6 characters, only to get to a new map and get my ass kicked on the first battle by 3 Elemental enemies that each seem to get two turns to attack all of my characters at once for over 4…

Grim Wanderings is a game that is derived from the gameplay of Disciples 1 & 2. You have a map broken down into various destinations that you can visit to explore and grow your small party of characters. On this map you will have objectives to pursue and complete for some overarching mission. You have 5 races to play including Orcs, Humans, Elves, Undead, and Dwarves. There are also a lot of other non-playable races in the game too. Probably what is most interesting about this game is its artstyle. The characters depicted here a very 'warped' feeling to them. I will note though that the spelling and grammar for the game could be a tad better. UI and presentation are very simple - you won't see the 'battles' like you would in Disciples, just the simple attack animation being played and the damage numbers of who has been hit. The game was made first on Android devices before being ported over onto the PC. In generally the game works fine on either platform. You can play it for free on Android devices, although with advertisements; it might be worth checking out with your phone first to see if you might be interested in the game. A worthy game to kill a little time with and not wor…

As a long time Disciples fan, I have to say I love this game :) The game has a lot of choices for unit customisation and several races and hero types. It does seem a bit too easy once you learn the game and level up your troops, and could use the HARD difficulty. I love the diversity of the same type hero for different races with subtle differences, makes the game fun :) If you are fan of Disciples 1&2, you will love this game, and at this price, it's a great deal! I have finished the game with all 4 hero types and all races but the orcs, and I got some fun 25 hours in the game before I can say I saw most of the content and moved on.

Easy mode? I constantly die on easy, it's feels like extreme hardcore mode. Probably because my back-row dies in 1 or 2 shots and I miss far, far more than 80% of my attacks. Constantly getting kicked in the nards is not my idea of a good time
