    Grimvalor is a side-scrolling platformer for people who love the challenge that the Dark Souls series entails, but hate the punishing gameplay that comes along with it. Despite its lacklustre story, the gameplay is fast, fluid and constantly evolving to keep things engaging until the very end.

    Grimvalor is a great metroidvania action RPG, packed with a great atmosphere and an intriguing level design, but also a terrific combat system and many different enemies and bosses to fight with.

    While it might be unfair to compare Grimvalor to its obvious inspiration, the fast pace and satisfying combat make it truly stand out from the crowd. The style and setting might not be breaking any new ground, but the core of the gameplay is unique in its own right. It might even provide a good challenge for players looking for some brisk action that is great in short bursts.

    We enjoyed Grimvalor more than we thought, even if it doesn't reinvent the wheel in any field. A good choice if you're looking for a solid metroidvania with soulslike elements.

    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.
