I find that in most games that come with a zoomable scroll perspective, it’s nice to have that feature there, but I’ll never use - and use the default panned out view anyway.

#GRIM DAWN NEEGAN THE WITHERED WINDOWS#

remember back in Diablo II (released in 2000), the very first quest you get is to clear out a cave of monsters? Same sort of thing here.Īre we ever going to get a game that doesn’t revolve around fetch quests and clearing out unwanted cave dwellers?ĭragging the UI scaling slider up a little vastly helped my eyes and my sanity when it came to windows with lots of text and icons, such as my inventory and vendor shopping windows.

Start The Game Already!Īfter talking to someone that for whatever reason either feels sorry for me and then, of course, has a job for me to clear out their cellar of rats, it’s the usual the standard affair…, you know how it goes… The cutscene showed me that pistols and bullish no-nonsense Victorian hangmen exist in this game, and sets up the overall dark and apocalyptic vibe the game’s got going for it. The game has a decent cinematic opening that addresses why monsters are in the world, which let’s face it: it’s usually the same story throughout all of these hack’n’slash ARPGs. I understand this is an ARPG and not a full-blown Dungeons and Dragons-esque affair, but I assumed I’d at least get to pick my gender and class. I was a little thrown back after clicking ‘create character’ to see that one click created my entire character, of whom was now stood there now on the screen title menu brandishing a one-handed sword and makeshift wooden shield. Once the game menu loads, you’ll have to create a character before you can start the campaign, which seems backward.

To confirm: my judgement of this game assumes it’s a £19.99 game. This -80% reduction is why I felt it was finally time to give this title a try, especially after I have played a fair amount Path of Exile recently (link to my review). The game usually sells on various platforms at a fairly static price of £19.99. The game’s main artwork helps to convey its quasi-Victorian setting Pricing
