Grim Quest is a throwback to old-school role-playing games, mixing elements from classic RPGs, dungeon crawlers, and roguelikes. It’s got a strong focus on storytelling, offering an immersive world full of lore and details. Think of it like playing a one-person Dungeons and Dragons game or diving into an interactive storybook.
You can play Grim Quest alone, and it doesn’t require an internet connection. It’s free from the usual game annoyances like loot boxes, energy limits, expensive extras, and constant microtransactions. Instead, you’ll find just a few ads that you can remove and some optional purchases if you want to support the game’s ongoing development.
Here’s what you can look forward to in the game:
- Explore a dark fantasy world with its own backstory and mysteries.
- Engage in classic turn-based battles against various enemies and bosses.
- Watch your character’s mental state, as it affects gameplay.
- Customize your character with a range of spells and skills.
- Choose from 27 different character backgrounds, each changing how you play.
- Interact with the game world through various text-based scenarios.
- Collect and use a variety of weapons, armor, items, and crafting materials.
- Take on quests, hunt for bounties, and discover over 60 lore items.
- Protect a city under siege and handle different challenges.
- Play at your own pace with four difficulty levels and other customizable settings, including an optional permadeath feature for extra challenge.
