This is my favorite game in the APP Store. I had been looking for an old school RPG and this one delivers. What’s more, it’s my favorite type, TTRPG. I like the fact that each initial location on the initial map screen is a campaign which builds to serve to pave the way for an overarching campaign. The developer streamlined the combat sequences so that clunky dice rolls are nonexistent, but the concept of XP, spells, weapons, skills, and armor upgrades are there. The game tracks all this for you and all you have to do is play the role of an involved PC in order to do well at the game. The APP store is riddled with TTRPG and RPG companions. This game is different because “Grim Quest - Old School RPG” does not require you to go out and purchase an expensive TTRPG from the store. All of the necessary components are within the APP itself. To the developer: Please continue to keep “Grim Quest - Old School RPG” updated for IOS. iPhone users have lost access to all the other great TTRPG titles throughout the last decade. Some notable mentions are “Call of Cthulhu Chronicles,” “Necronomicon,” and “Call of Cthulhu- Wasted Land.” Love the old school “dungeon crawl” feel and look of “Grim Quest - Old School RPG.” Monomyth is kicking it old school and keeping it real. Monomyth is LEGIT.

I haven’t had the game on my phone for long but I had to buy it because I need more! In such a short time this game has become one of my favorites, it’s a simple game and even tho it’s got a few things I’m not use to for a simplistic RPG, I hope the developer makes more games like this. I like that you can adjust the game to your liking difficulty wise and that there is an option for music and game effect sounds as well! The only things I wish was different was the class choices and that the spell/skills had more than just 3 slots, especially because it’s a single character, and that items would stack in 5’s or 10’s. That and the event encounters, it’s like a 50/50 chance on either succeeding or failing, I wish there was something stat related, and that I wish stats mattered a bit more rather than having a single item raise the stats for a bit before you swap to something potentially better.I just purchased the game so I’m excited to explore more of what this story has to unfold. If this was your first game, I very much hope to see more from the developer!

This game lets you try out the first bit of it for free, which was nice, so I wasn’t pressured into purchasing without knowing whether it not I would like it. And it turns out I did like it. It’s pretty easy to learn, and has a unique way of playing that you don’t see in mobile games often. I am a guy who has played a lot of mobile games, some were good, and many weren’t. I am happy to say this game seems pretty good. And for those who are wondering, the full game costs $4.00, which is pretty cheap for a good game like this. There is one sentence I would use to describe how good this price is. Like a Marvel villain named Thanos would say, “ A small price to pay for salvation”. So anyone who is skeptical, you can try this game out without having to pay anything up front, and if you decide you like it, then all you have to pay is $4.00, which is a steal for a hidden gem like this. (:Edit: Close to finishing the game, and I got an item called Roland’s Revolver! This is a really cool Easter egg item(Stephen King Dark Tower book reference)

This is a great game that I have had a lot of fun with over time. In the beginning, exploring is a very dangerous undertaking, and you will likely die a few times. As you get stronger/amass more money to upgrade your self/town, you’ll really feel the effects and see the difference as you mow through enemies. Elite/boss type monsters still give a feeling of difficulty and danger, but normal encounters make you feel like a powerful seasoned fighter. Gameplay gets a little repetitive, as you need to grind dungeons deeper and deeper to continue the story, but that’s part of a dungeon delver/looting system (which many obviously enjoy). The dark theme/style of the game is fun, though I would also like if there were some more theme changes between the different dungeon settings. I’m closing in on the end of the “main” game, and will be getting into the late/end game dungeons soon. Overall, I really enjoy this game, and I decided to write this review when looking to see if this developer had any other/new games.
