Grimlord is a Dark Fantasy Action Souls-like RPG - on VR. Awakened in a monastery deep in the Lonely Mountains, you walk in an epic quest as the adventurer standing before the darkness and striving for the light against the tyrannical Grim Lord.
Players can choose from a wide variety of weapons in this game, including swords, axes, spears, bows, and magic staffs. The real draw, however, is the ability to mix and match different weapon parts - grips, crossguards, and blades - to create unique, personalized armaments. This deep crafting system allows players to fine-tune their preferred fighting style.
The combat in this experience demands precision and strategy. Enemies can be highly dangerous, even when encountered in groups, so players must carefully time their parries, dodges, and attacks. The physics-based melee combat, in particular, feels weighty and impactful, with players able to freely position and swing their weapons.
The game features an expansive, interconnected world rife with hidden paths, shortcuts, and secrets to discover. As players delve deeper, they'll encounter increasingly formidable foes, necessitating careful resource management and character progression. Spending the in-game currency, 'matter,' allows players to level up skills and stats, customizing their capabilities.
Many reviewers liken the experience to the challenging Dark Souls series, praising the high-stakes, unforgiving nature of the combat. Death is common, but overcoming tough enemies and bosses provides a tremendous sense of accomplishment. This Souls-like structure, with respawn points and lost progress on death, creates a compelling, high-tension gameplay loop that keeps players coming back.
As a VR-native title, the experience aims to provide a deeply immersive fantasy adventure. The dark, atmospheric environments and enemy designs pull players into the grim world, while the ability to physically wield and maneuver weapons adds a new level of depth to the combat. While the VR implementation has minor issues, the general consensus is that the experience delivers an engaging, visceral action RPG experience.
