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.

It forgot what made the game fun.

Starts out as a game that carefully balances armor and weapon design so precise strikes can get past enemy defenses. A careful arrow shot could bring down an armored enemy if it went through the visor or into the throat. Ends as a game that forgets everything good about its own design and provides regular enemies with no weak spots, and massive health pools who can soak up over a dozen armor piercing crossbow shots to the face. Its not the bosses that have made me quit, they are kinda boring to be honest. What ended it for me is the now dull combat as I blandly smack Royal Guards literally anywhere until they anti-climactically just fall over. Its not hard, its just tedious and fighting doesnt feel fun.

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...

Soulslike VR

I play the PCVR version via Virtual Desktop. The higher resolution and increased level of detail definitely add value to the game, but overall performance could be better. Even on strong GPUs a lot of stuttering occurs. The game is janky, clunky and buggy, BUT it is able to create that mysterious Dark Souls atmosphere. I could not stop playing and it took me about 25 hours to get to the end. What a great experience full of intense moments. Despite the flaws, I strongly recommend this!

Can't get enough

Let me start by saying I am an engineering college student. I spend 90% of my time doing calculus and was in dire need of a quick way to exercise to stay fit and reset my brain every once in a while. I am now on my fifth or sixth run-through and honestly I can't get enough of this game. At this point ive even increased the difficulty by adding weights to my arms and legs as I play. Sure it has its bugs here and there but it's very clear how much time and effort the devs have put into this game. This game provides a challenging yet fun combat experience. It is by far the best combat system I've seen in a VR game. Each enemy is different and unique to fight, to the point where it even matters where you hit an enemy because hitting armor vs bare skin does make a difference. The bosses all have different fighting styles and abilities. When I bought this game I was hoping for a souls-like experience. And this game is everything I was hoping for! The huge arsenal is mind blowing having the ability to choose a spear, axe, shortsword, longsword, greatsword, dagger, bow, staff, hammer, mace, shield, or even go without weapons and fight using your fists. Each weapon is also customizable so you can choose what blade, hilt/shaft, and guard you want which changes reach, attack power, guard power and holster placement. This in combination with being able to enchant some weapons with mind blowing attacks creates an insane amount of combinations that are guaranteed to bring a smile to your face as you wreak havok upon your enemies. The magic system isn't overpowered and is unlike any other magic system I've seen and keeps the game very enjoyable. There is so much to explore in the game that I haven't even found yet. Plus the Devs constantly update and add more to the game. It is well worth the price point and I would gladly buy it again.

Finally 🥲

This is literally Dark Souls in VR, exactly as good as you could imagine. I’ve played so many games in VR, but this is finally the first VR game I’ve played that felt like a GAME! It’s not a sandbox, it’s not an “experience,” it feels like all the console games I love and get lost in. The combat feels so real and takes tact, and the worlds are great. It’s the first time I had things planned irl but said “just a little more, just a little more” and kept playing for hours. THANK YOU devs, THIS is what VR is supposed to be.
