    Grim Dawn is an apocalyptic fantasy ARPG that initially released back in 2016.
    This game has had 3 major DLC releases since launch with a 4th new expansion recently announced for 2024.
    This year I’ve covered quite a few ARPGs, I’ve revisited Last Epoch, Wolcen and Diablo 4 as well as just becoming more of an ARPG fan in general, the last time I covered Grim Dawn was back in 2016 so I decided now would be a good time for a revisit to see how it compares to newer ARPG releases, especially with the new expansion on the horizon.
    What do think about Grim Dawn in 2023? Is this ARPG still work playing? what's your best class or build in Grim Dawn? let me know in the comments below!

    Grim Dawn 2023 Steam ARPG description
    Enter an apocalyptic fantasy world where humanity is on the brink of extinction, iron is valued above gold and trust is hard earned. This ARPG features complex character development, hundreds of unique items, crafting and quests with choice & consequence.
    Key Features
    Dual Class - Combine any of six distinct classes with over 25 skills and modifiers per class. Base classes include Soldier, Demolitionist, Occultist, Nightblade, Arcanist and Shaman.
    Hundreds of Item Skills - Augment your class build with a diverse array of over 250 unique skills granted by items and equipment add-ons.
    Collect hundreds of Items - Common, magical, rare, epic and legendary classes of loot. Plus over 20,000 possible magical affix combinations and over 200 rare affixes.
    Quests with Choice and Consequence - You will face tough decisions that leave significant impacts upon the world. Strangers on the road, desperate families and even entire villages may live or perish based on your actions. Currently over 35 quests with 75+ lore notes to be collected.
    Friendly and Enemy Factions - Earn favor with human factions to unlock additional quest lines, vendor discounts and special faction-based items and augments. Some neutral factions can be turned into allies but aiding one will make the enemy of another. Hostile factions will remember your deeds and deepen their hatred of you, sending out large packs and elite heroes to hunt you down.
    Devotion, an additional layer of skill customization allows you to acquire bonuses and powerful secondary effects for your class skills. These are unlocked from a giant constellation map with points acquired by finding and restoring destroyed or corrupted shrines hidden throughout the world.
    Rebuild the World - Help human enclaves survive and flourish by securing vital necessities, rebuilding structures and rescuing survivors who can then lend their services to your cause.
    4 Person Multiplayer - Connect with Friends or make new allies in glorious multiplayer. Multiplayer encounters will put your teamwork to the ultimate challenge.
    Fast-paced Visceral Combat - Enemy blood spatters, ragdoll physics and satisfying enemy effects. Smash in doors and fight house to house, leaving a path of demolished furniture in your wake.
    Rogue-Like Dungeons - Descend into special locked challenge dungeons that require a rare crafted key, where enemy levels increase as you progress and player teleport is disabled. There is no way out except to complete the dungeon or die trying.
    Dynamic Weather - The world is brought to life with region-specific climates and a variety of weather effects. A sunny day can cloud over with mild rain showers that builds into a booming thunderstorm. Variable wind gusts blow grass and affect objects like windmills.
    Recipe Based Crafting - Collect over 250 crafting recipes that allow you to combine salvaged components into unique crafted items and then, later, use those basic crafted items with higher-tiered recipes to complete items of amazing power.
    Reclaim Skill Points - The ability to pay to reclaim points alleviates the fear and frustration of having to make early, uninformed skill choices that could permanently gimp a character.

    Crate are releasing update 1.2 for Grim Dawn soon (expected within a month), which is adding a default universal dodge button, improving loot drop quality and reducing clutter, and taking health and mana pots out of the inventory and making them infinite on a cool-down, among other QoL changes. I hope you come back to show more of the game off to your audience after :)

      I was disappointed back when they didn't get to make Titan Quest 2, because I loved the first part at release, but Grim Dawn turned out to be amazing and has been improved like crazy over the years.
      Thematically I liked Titan Quest better because the whole lore of Grim Dawn is not sufficiently conveyed, or I simply didn't get everything, but its atmosphere and music make more than up for it.

Amazing to see Crate embrace their community with these subtle nods and a great way to test builds to see if they measure up!

Grim Internals will help you control some of the UI aspects of the game and you can also adjust the overall game clock speed to make the game a little faster if the default pace is a little too slow. Rainbow filters will basically fix what's wrong with the loot filtering system with no further adjustments needed.

    And they did with "Farthest Frontier", but they never stopped caring about the game and their fans and pumped out patches with such an amount of changes, additions and bugfixes that they put almost every other studio to shame.

      The new expansion was one of the biggest surprises of this year along with TitanQuest 2 announcement. I too thought the game was done when the devs said they wanted to move on to something. I don't blame them for feeling like that at all and was ready to support their next project. With their passion and dedication I believe they can make any genre amazing.

      Farthest Frontier is decent but honestly it was a hugely missed opportunity they went with generic America/European theme rather than to just set it in the world of Grim Dawn. I have played a million colony games that have such a similar theme that Farthest Frontier really doesn't stand out.

      Funny thing, at the time when they announced what they were working on, I thought it was going to be an expansion of Grimm, and commented about that on their FB page. They said I was pretty off the mark and that it was a new game, but DID really like the idea of trying to do your own outposts in GD, so who knows, if they dont shelve things, maybe we will get something weirder down the line ;)

      GD is one of the best ARPGs ever created if you can get past the visual aspect, which in 2023 is outdated. It has a lot of stuff in it though, and the new expansion that's been recently announced will literally add whole new systems to the game. It has that classic ARPG feel to it.
      The best thing is that GD 2 is planned already so there will be a continuation of this masterpiece. Probably a competitor to D5 rather than D4 though.

    Grim Dawn is one of my personal favourite ARPGs. I love the classes, the builds you can make and the post apocalyptic world.

But my absolute favourite was the necromancer, it was so much fun sending an army of undead minions to maul anything which got in my way.

    environments that actually change when you complete certain quests (like the farmlands quests and the fabrics quests)
    the reputation system is very cool

    actually allows you to put points into stats

  • @jyidorne8042
    @jyidorne8042 8 месяцев назад +1

    I have been playing Grim Dawn since some early betas, I have over 1000 hours in it, I have leveled over a dozen different characters to 100 and I still occasionally come back to it with the thought of "well, THIS one new build might be interesting...". And I have beaten every single boss and difficult encounter, except one super secret joke boss, without ever looking at any build guides. To be fair, I don't think that boss is really beatable with most classes in the game anyways - requires a very specific type of abuse to beat.
    In just a couple days when Crate releases the 1.2 patch, I will take one of my old not-so-well-performing characters to make a new build for it. I already have a lot of ideas.
    Grim Dawn is one of those games where you can definitely succeed without looking up the meta builds, with your own build ideas, without being a cakewalk. You definitely need to think and calculate your builds for them to succeed, and you will run into dead ends occasionally, but you will almost always be able to fix them.
    A wonderful game. Keep playing it! I can't wait for you to find out all the cool stuff still in storage. And yes, the game definitely doesn't end at 100! You still have a lot of fun min-maxing and building left after hitting 100. And then rolling new characters, trading gear between them, trying out new builds and so on. Grim Dawn even has extra XP items & potions to make leveling go that much faster, just so you can try out fun new things.

    so, I bought the game yesterday, being as easily influenced as I am, and currently between content in my mina game, FF14. I'm also going the easy 1 button notion you present here, :p , being also a big fan of simpler! it's rocking. Built my first relic , too, with the currency Warden dropped. One tip I received after posing the question to the steam GD community: as I bought the full package and expacs, once I kill the Warden, I was offered to go to the FG expacs. I took the quest, popped in, but went back to finish the OG expac content. in fact, the community suggested complete OG>then ashes> then FG. So, I'll go that route. They also suggested looking up build guides etc, which for now, I have no intention, as long as my uber 1 button build holds. I killed Warden simply enough, only 1 death in 10 hours of play, and not on the warden. Thanks again, LP! Oh, and I Love the music in this game. freakin sweet!
