    I'll be the first to admit that Grimvalor surprised me with both its platforming and combat. It's a challenging and addicting action-platformer experience that was easy to get into and satisfying and challenging throughout its 10- to 15-hour run, depending on your play style. Some streamlined elements and visuals are evidence that it's still a noticeably mobile experience, but it is a fun one at that. If you don't care much for bloat, plot, or elaborate displays of visual fidelity, Grimvalor is absolutely worth a look.

    In short, Grimvalor would have been a great 2D Souls-like if it featured a steeper level of challenge and more visceral combat.

    AWESOME game. I got it on sale for $4 and have already put 7 hours into it, and I'm not even halfway through the game.

    As others have said,    AWESOME game. I got it on sale for $4 and have already put 7 hours into it, and I'm not even halfway through the game.

    As others have said, it's a Castlevania game with the Souls aesthetic. My only complaint about the game is that the jump striking isn't precise enough to make the grapple orbs a useful navigational tool, so I'm annoyed with any area that has grapple orbs.

    But don't let that stop you. This game is GREAT.    … Full Review »

    Honestly, God bless any game willing to give away the first fourth for free as a demo. If you like the demo you’ll like the main game as well.

    Ein gutes Spiel. Die Steuerung ist echt gut und Simpel. Die Kämpfe machen sehr viel Spaß und die Story ist auch in Ordnung.
