About GrindFest
GrindFest lets you write C# code to command your heroes through a massive seamless world where they autonomously hack, slash, and loot their way to glory while you sit back and watch.

Your bots will hack and slash their way through hordes of Orks, level up, craft weapons for the Dwarfs, disregard Elves, acquire gold, brew colorful mushrooms and gaze into the Abyss. All this while you can sit back, relax, fine-tune your code and admire your bots' progress.This game is made for you

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
GrindFest has an interesting concept centered around programming bots to automate gameplay in a single-player-to-MMO progression system, but players report significant technical issues including buggy code logic that causes equipment systems to malfunction and forget variables. The game is widely criticized as poorly executed and unfinished in its current state, with reviews suggesting players should wait for substantial improvements before considering a purchase.
what a trash game.1 found this helpful
Definitely a cool concept, but not for me. (in it's current state?)
This game is ment to be botted. Program your bot and have it play for you in single player. Rank up your stats and join the MMO world with said stats.
wack.
It's own code sometimes forgets the variables. Example: if (item.Weapon.MaxDamage > Hero.Equipment.Weapon.MaxDamage) // Check if it's better than the current weapon Sometimes it thinks that current weapon damage is 0 and infinitely tries to equip anything on the ground. Yeah guys, if you want to make the game about programming, AT LEAST make it follow it's own rules.
You get an incredibly immersive experience in debugging Dev's game.
