    None of the review blurbs here at metacritic mentioned that the plot was a total ripoff of Harry Potter. The battle system is okay, but frankly, western companies do it way better and without those cutesy little aesthetics. Hearing fairies and elves say "Okay! Okay! Okay!" every time you do anything overwhelms all the fun aspects of the game.

    Grim Grimoire doesn't have quite the depth or complexity of a western RTS like "Command & Conquer 3, but it does have an elegance that such games lack. [June 2007, p.72]

    GrimGrimoire is fun at first, but not in the same league as developer Vanillaware's "Odin Sphere". [July 2007, p.92]
