    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.

    A fun hack and slash adventure in the style of Castlevania. The gameplay is smooth and boss fights are alot of fun.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
