Experience combat in VR like never before

With more than 10 hours of single-player campaign game time and 3 chapters each presenting a different landscape and a ton of unique enemies. You’re bound to learn how to deal with them efficiently, with everything you have at your disposal. Are you a battle-hardened veteran who loves swords and axes? Or a spell-weaving patron of the arcane arts? Maybe an agile rogue who mastered the way of daggers and bow & arrow? Or you prefer throwing weapons? Well, you can basically throw every weapon in Grimlord. With hundreds of weapon customizations, you can truly craft a unique instrument of killing you can call your own. Combine with our physics-based combat mechanics, you can perform all the weapon techniques in game. Oh, did I mention, if you’re using a claymore, you can even do mordhau. There are more than a dozen bosses to challenge, each with their unique design and backstory. They’re not your typical damage sponges, fights with them are epic battle of wits and agility, brains and brawn.

Buggy

As soon as I fought for the first time, I came across bugs. When I hit an enemy, I dropped my weapon, my weapons wouldn't go back into their slots, I kept grabbing items instead of my weapons, and the fighting mechanic as a whole is just bad.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, and we're genuinely sorry your first experience with Grimlord was frustrating. That’s absolutely not the impression we want to leave, especially during your very first fight.

The issues you described, dropping weapons unexpectedly, holstering bugs, and item grabbing conflicts, are things we're actively working to improve. Perhaps try looking down next time you grab something, so that you know actually what you are grabbing. I also recommend holding onto the grip button to avoid dropping your weapons in the future.

If you’re open to it, we’d really appreciate you joining our community on Discord and letting us know more about what happened. We’re constantly pushing fixes and updates based on player reports, and your input could help us get this resolved faster.

We hope you’ll consider giving the game another shot down the line, and if things improve, we’d be grateful if you'd consider updating your review. Thanks again for playing Grimlord.

The future of VR gaming

So here it is, exactly what VR gaming is most likely going to become….. A hyped up rehashed title that will make a steady stream of cash, while keeping the game playable just enough until it’s time to move on. This is a big fat turd of a game that should be setting the bar. VR got me back into gaming and it companies like these guys are the reason I stopped playing. Honestly a 2 star review just wanted to hide the truth just like this game. The fact that it keeps getting updated and still nothing has changed says a lot.

Haven’t played yet

I don’t understand why people are complaining that it’s difficult, maybe I can’t speak since I’m yet to play but isn’t the point of the game to be difficult like the pc souls games?

Only for a Very Specific Type of Gamer..

Too difficult even with the new amulet. So great combat mechanics if not the best, but zero skill flexibilty, which makes this a niche game in an already niche market due to lack of options because the only point of the game is challenge.. (I'll never understand this audience limiting game design mindset).
So unless you want a game where you'll be lucky to see even the 2nd map after the tutorials, just buy the other melee combat games available, because Grimlord is only for a smaller group of players needlessly challenging Souls-like design that doesn't believe in the OPTION for a more forgiving easier difficulty as nearly every other game has.
So a waste of $30 for me, so be sure to truly think about it before possibly wasting your own money...

You've decided to purchase a game, a souls-like, expecting to cakewalk yourself through it. Unfortunately, we are huge fans of the genre and agree with you that our game is only for a certain particular set of players. It would be beneficial if you did a bit of research into a game before spending the asking price. We've over 15 hours of content, a huge expansion just released this month and free DLC coming soon this year while also featuring functional NG+ modes, 100s of weapons parts to build your own gear, tons of unique handcrafted and animated bosses, more than this response will allow me to type. I am sorry you could not get past the tutorial boss to experience any of this. If anyone reads this review, let this be a reminder that we truly believe in a souls-like experience and difficulty is only the first step into seeing what Grimlord has to offer. Overcoming a challenge is not something we are willing to change because it is not how our game is designed. Grimlord is a full, single-player RPG with stats, skill trees, weapon abilities and more. The game is only as easy as you take the time to learn to make it. Come join our community if you'd like to discuss, there are 1000's of players looking to help someone out if you are wanting to give it another go. https://discord.gg/zAKRuU89Ux

Best game ever buy now!

Grimlord is the best game ever as I got the game 2 months ago and there is still so much secrets I haven't found and there is so much weapons and combinations to craft. As well as there being weapon skills for boss weapons.The good thing is the game is quite challenging and isn't easy so it makes it fun as you adapt to your enemies.

Here are things I think you should add.

1-Sandbox mode
2-Mods for sandbox mode
3-more festive events like the halloween one

Thanks for Reading this review.

Too glitchy and kinda hard

I recently downloaded this game because I like souls like games. The problem is that some attacks go straight through my sword or shield and hit me or sometimes it will play the parry noise like I parried it but kill me anyway. Thats like acknowledging me then still hitting me because it doesn’t like me I’m only on the first level so I can even imagine how terrible the hotboxes will be later. Some common enemies are just way too hard to be common. This may seem like just a hate or rage review but as you can see I gave it two stars so let’s hear some good properties of the game. The game is fun when you’re not facing overly powered enemies and has some decent gameplay. It’s realistic combat wise like making shoulder cuts more effective than snap cuts. (The difference between the two is just moving your wrist vs moving your whole arm) In conclusion, it’s a fun game at first but then it start glitching hit boxes, getting you stuck in the floor, randomly launching you. It’s also really hard, but if you the kind of person who is patient and just laughs off losing all your progress to one tiny glitch then this is the game for you. Make sure to judge if you can handle this before buying it.

To the devs: I appreciate your work but it’s very glitchy, most of these problems can be fixed with some tweaking and reworking some enemies but all in all I just hope you fix the game a little bit.
