Grim Soul: 서바이벌 멀티플레이어 생존 퀘스트 평가 및 리뷰

Great graphics and storyline and a great feel to it. It’s clear the developers have done a great job but there’s something about the gameplay that is off. I want to like it, I keep playing it, but in the end it’s a grindfest. Your constantly just crafting minimal tools and armor to gather materials in hopes of upgrading but upgrading is so costly it’s almost not worth doing as everything wears out so quickly. To upgrade your backpack requires a high level and is relatively costly in materials and making a bow (a relatively basic weapon) is almost impossible too as you can’t craft a bowstring, you have to be lucky enough to find it. You also can’t craft a harness, saddle or trough for your horse - you need to find those too. These and other “special” items are hard to come by even if you are able to survive random events.
I was a fan of Last Day on Earth as well and reached a saturation point as well, it seems that Grim Soul grows more tedious and feels like a chore after awhile.
I understand the developers need to make this more of a challenge and you don’t want to make it too easy but something has to be done to balance out the gameplay somehow. If I’m level 65 but running around naked with 2 staffs and a pile of beef jerky because I need a week to gather materials ten something is wrong. Maybe it’s me?

Hello. Thank you for your feedback. We are constantly working on our game to make it better, more comfortable, more interesting and to add new features. Please, watch out for news in our game community on Facebook to know everything about the game.

If we could get live meters showing your status without having to open the backpack that would be nice and a status for when you’re gonna throw up there’s been too many times I’ve died because my character needed to throw up. While you’re on the battlefield if you run out of bandages you eat whatever you come by I know you’ll throw up but if I could see how close I am to doing it I won’t eat that last bit of food in the middle of a fight I’ll run. Second stop with the fake player bots they come attack me leave grab no loot and the work with the all the creatures attacking you if it was a real player we could probably team up seems impossible when all you see are killer boys that the AI makes run straight after you relentlessly. It’s annoying having to fight one but you have to fight them on top of whatever creatures are chasing you it’s not even a challenge it’s just depressing. Dying your loot disappears your hard work out the window you don’t even get looted you just sit there and rot and realize that you just wasted your time because the game is built to make you lose. Also why do we have to get to such a high level before we can get the better backpack having such low storage seemed like you just had to play it safe but when you realize how long you’re gonna have to keep going out and coming back (if you make it back) the task seems more tiring than fun especially with the energy reload time

Hello.

Thank you for your review.

Unfortunately, we don't clearly understand your first issue. Could you please specify this issue more detailed? What do you mean?

The other exiles are part of the Grim Soul world too. Their main goal is to interrupt you in your adventures whatever the circumstances.

If you died on a self-updated location, for example, on any skull location or quest location, your body will disappear after death, since this location will be reset after your leaving. But if you die at locations such as ruins, event, enemies' or your stronghold you will be able to find your body there.
Note, that only last body of your character is saved. If you die again, the previous body will disappear.
You can lose your items in any skull locations. And for the first entering in these locations, you had a pop-up warning about it.

I really do enjoy this game, the graphics are great and I love the survival aspect. Although it has some major issues. I understand losing your stuff when you die but it sends you straight back home and you aren’t able to go back to the island you were at and find your body to retrieve your items. I spent days saving up tokens to trade for a good weapon and I lost all my stuff. You should be able to go back and find your body to retrieve your items. Or if you respawned in the area you died, you could try to pick up at least some of your items from your body. Like what’s the point of the game if I lose all my stuff and can’t at least try to get it back? I spend so much time making clothes and gathering items that are rare for them to be completely gone, it’s beyond frustrating. I think I’m done playing this game because they make it way too difficult to build things up after you die. There’s no way to get a decent weapon and I can’t go to more difficult islands to get items because my weapons just won’t stand a chance. Really do like this game but I’m starting to get frustrated with starting completely over with no game help. You also have to spend money to get anything decent. Anyways, hopefully the developers fix some game play issues because it’s not fun to play when you can’t advance in the game. Also there’s issues with loading the screen, it will just freeze then the game shuts down. Hope this helps someone.

Hello, thank you for feedback! Losing items after death is an integral part of many RPG survival games, including Grim Soul. It encourages players to carefully consider every action and stay alert. You can retrieve your belongings in a dungeon or an event, but you need to be extra careful in quest and skull areas. High-tear weapons are best to be kept for boss fights, and regular areas can be cleared with simpler weapons. Use your skills, stealth mode, scrolls, and traps to deal more damage. If there are issues with loading, please make sure that the signal is strong, try changing the connection type and access point, if possible. It might help.

This survival game is fun to pick up and put down anytime. It runs well and the mechanics are on point. The major issue I find disturbing is what the developers offer in shop. Of course they would need to make money to continue this game, and obviously investing to boost your character development or building your own strategy without investments is your choice. You can freely play by your own decisions. True and I never had a problem with this; however there is no good reason for anything that they show to be in the store. Often shoving pop-ups in your face to purchase weapons/armors for $20 or $100 that would break in 10-20 minutes. It really seems like the devs don't care about the players to offer such deals. Of course I know it's designed to just throw money at this game.

I think the gameplay is good and what they offer in the shop is just a rip-off. A club breaks in less than one wood-chopping run. With low durability for all items in this game(even unique and legendary weapons), it feels more like a grind to achieve goals rather than skill. I have even killed eisenborg on the 3rd floor in the forsaken dungeon without spending a cent on this game; so money is not required to win(investing a ton of time grinding, even with perfect farming efficiency it still takes a while). Also the hearth, bed, etc. are not free. As for the survival aspect, this is a free game.

Hi there, thank you for sharing your thoughts on Grim Soul! Some weapons have higher attack power, allowing you to defeat more enemies or deal more damage. They last longer even without high durability, as you can win faster with them. A real bed is a luxury in the harsh world of Lubenia, but you can craft a mat instead.

Wow okay first of all this game is amazing. I love the difficulty and it makes the moments when you take down a boss so much more satisfying. A few notes I have. While I do really enjoy the difficulty I feel like the game has some pacing issues in terms of the campaign story stuff. The bird cage quests are way too hard based on a persons level. This leads to some weird pacing issues where I am able to knock out a few of the quests over a day but then am grinding my levels for months until I am powerful enough to take on certain enemies. I am also concerned about the amount of pay to play I see within the game. I have been playing for about 2 years off and on and I am still fairly early into the game. This is without paying a single dime. I think it’s frustrating for a lot of players who don’t want to pay to see all of these different ads promoting weapons when they just died and lost all of their stuff they worked so hard to get. I realize the app needs to make money I just think changing the way monetization is done may help the app. Besides my problems I still really love this game!!! For some reason I haven’t been able to join a clan and I wish the players I see in the forest were actually real players and not just bots

This game so far seems one sided. Runs very well and the mechanics are on point but the level of difficulty is way out of balance. That’s fine and all that you lose your stuff when you die but as a beginner with limited weapons, I can only fight one mob before I have to heal so I can fight again. Let’s not forget how almost impossible it is to maintain a source of food to heal because of this. I’ve had to run around and collect berries just to heal so I can continue to play and wait until the next day so I could get the holiday cake to heal to full health. Why make bandages available only at level 15? This seems odd as a basic bandage should be available right at level one so we can keep playing for more than 15 minutes at a time. All this goes to my title “pay to win.” You got to buy weapons and gear to be able to play... but don’t die or you’ve potentially lost your spendings.

Please lower the difficulty just a little bit but not too much so that it’s too easy. Just give us a way to be able to heal on a more consistent basis so we can keep exploring. I’m level 15 now and still using the basic club, it’s still better than what I can craft based on my dps and the dps of the mob, this needs fixed for sure. It’s also quite quite annoying that it takes a stack of 20 wood to make 5-7 steaks (forgot the exact number) and it also takes forever to cook!!

5 stars for giving us what I’ve mentioned.

Hello.

Invest to boost your character development or building your own strategy without investments is your choice. You can freely play by your own decision.
The main purpose of the game is surviving. In order to survive, you should adaptive to the world.
That's why some things are not available at the beginning of the game.
Thank you for your suggestion, we hope your opinion about Grim Soul will get better.

Some F2P games are playable without spending cash. This one isn’t. The worst feature is that when you die, you lose everything. So you have to be care when you put your stuff away, but we’re talking about weapons and food and stuff that can be hard to come by in order to make things like smelters. So yeah you can grind, but if you die you lose everything you just gathered. Inventory is very small and pop ups encourage you to spend for better equipment. I had managed to get clothes and weapons and then died and lost everything. Ran around naked trying to build it back up only to get killed 3 times in a row, just trying to get wood to make a club. Lost any materials on me. I don’t mind hard, but there’s a point where a game becomes too frustrating to continue. I do spend money on games I enjoy to enhance the experience, and I try out a lot of games for free before I spend. The concept of the game is interesting but I can see how it becomes a cash pit. Not to mention that you could die (you get swarmed and your weapon breaks and you don’t stop getting attacked like in other games when you check your inventory) and lose stuff that you spent real money on. I’m mad enough about losing my free stuff. Hard pass.

If you didn’t lose all your stuff hard levels would be okay.
If the game paused while you try to heal, the game would be okay. Without that, it’s not playable for F2P or low spenders.

Hi, thank you for taking time to share your thoughts. The loss of items is indeed an unpleasant situation. However, this is one of the main features of all rpg survival games. You have a chance to get your items back if your character dies in a dungeon or in a time-limited location like the Broken Cart.

This is the best survival game I’ve ever played and the best game on iPhone I ever played. That being said there are some changes that need to be made. The biggest problem with this game is the amount of grinding it takes to progress! I understand you want to make the game challenging and difficult to survive but the way it is now is just ridiculous it takes nearly a whole week of grinding just to prepare for a dungeon run. It makes the game boring and monotonous. It should only take 2 days to 3 days to prepare for a dungeon run not 7 days! Do you understand?? Also Double the durability of armor. Reason being it takes A lot of material and grinding to make a good armor set,, which is fine. But they need to last longer! Twice as long as they currently do. The biggest problem with this game! Increase the durability of armor and weapons!! Double it!!! Because it takes so much work and time to craft! It’s very disheartening to spend days gathering materials to craft a set of good armor only to have it last five minutes before it wears out! Same for weapons. Your running your players away and making us bored because of this! The reward for spending the hours to craft good weapons and armor isn’t enough for the player! These durability of items should be DOUBLED

Hello.

Thank you for your thoughtful review of the game.
Mining and crafting are considered one of the main elements of the game. That is why there are different ways to achieve them. Try to change your tactics of finding resources and items. Don't forget, that some of the items have higher durability and you better save them for fights with more powerful enemies.
If you have any questions, where to find this or that item — write to us, we are always ready to help our players with advice.

For starters honesty I fell for the ad tbh I feel betrayed because you have to buy the bed, fireplace? Like fr. I don’t like spending money on mobiles games for a reason but this is just disaster. I thought I would find a game that actually has a bed and furniture but nope it’s not free. I wish they added for us like to watch 20 ads to in order to get the bed those don’t like to buy stuff instead of earn. I would rate this game a one star but the quality of the game itself it’s amazing but I’m just sad to say I don’t recommend people that don’t like to spend money don’t play this game. I let my sister know and I honesty I thought I’ll find another game to share to other people and tell people to play this but this game is like (you have to purchase to get furniture for your castle) lol my sister said she changed her mind since you can’t really do anything in the game, there’s not much furniture. I’m disappointed, tbh I think I rather stay on my old game, at least there’s furniture there. The only thing I love about this game is the rain. Sad to say this I will delete the game since I don’t wanna waste my money on the darn game for what when there’s beyond other games out there. Sometime I guess greed takes over your life right. Money dont make ppl happy I like to earn and build stuff but I cannot do that in that game

Hi there. Furniture is quite a luxury in the harsh world of Lubenia. You can craft all the items necessary for survival using resources that can be obtained by in-game means. These items may not bring comfort to your home, but they increase your castle level, bringing additional benefits. We hope you will give Grim Soul another chance!

I started playing when it first came out but got frustrated because of some stuff. I decided to leave the game until a friend of mine this year told me and a group of friends to play it together, and everyone was on board. Yet, I had forgotten why I left the game. The game is good. I enjoyed it, but one of the main reasons I joined the game was to play with my friends, which I haven’t been able to do due to their inability to find me or the order I created. I am unsure if they have a restriction between devices or countries, but I find it hard to grow. Collecting resources and materials to complete is a fiasco because you die, you lose everything, and there is no way you can recover the items that are purchased, yet if you die, you lose them. And it’s frustrating because imagine a bag to carry you are paying 5-6$ each time, which gets absurd. Gear and other you lose them. And the game isn’t cheap, tho. I didn’t want to leave the game, but I asked for support, and they answered that it was very annoying to keep playing. I don’t think I will be back this time on the second try, and it still made me leave so quickly. There are items you need to complete certain things, which are very hard to find. Even if you purchase a package, you don’t get to choose what you need. They give you random stuff from the package you are buying.
