Ratings and Reviews
Grim Quest Checks All The Boxes
Being born circa 1980ish this game is like those I played in my youth, and that retro RPG feel also made me nostalgic for my pen & paper role-play days. Very well constructed, graphics are literally, “iconic” and real effort went into the gameplay, navigation and overall experience.
Complex but Rewarding
If you enjoy games with a lot of depth, hidden behind simplistic controls, this game is for you. No annoying ads, however you only get to play the first chapter for free. Endless replay value, this is a unique game that takes some time to understand but is well worth it.
Fun for time but then unplayable
Made with monetization in mind. It was well balanced for several levels and then suddenly ramped up in difficulty (starting at “The Tear”). No amount of grinding will allow you to improve. The only way to continue is to purchase the booster pacts (items and gold for 14 bucks CAD) so you can significantly upgrade your character to deal with otherwise overpowered enemies. Fun while it lasted though!
I reached an impasse that no amount of reasonable grinding would allow me to circumvent. I’m assuming many get tired of grinding and never make it to “The Tear,” or they purchase a booster pack to power through.
Nothing against you trying to make money. But if there really is no concern with monetization, then why not offer the booster pacts for free (as well as paid versions for those that would like to donate)? It would allow players in my position the option of continuing without the perception, rightly or wrongly, they’ve been had.
Developer Response ,
If you go through the reviews you'll see that it's obviously not the case. Don't blame your own failure on the game. Edit: please, "booster" packs are basically god mode, straight out cheating. They in no way represent the way the game is meant to be played. And I can assure you people get to the Tear, and beyond, without resorting to them. But you can check that out in some of the online communities, like discord or reddit, since you obviously don't trust me on the matter...
