Grim Dawn celebrates its 10th anniversary
10 Years Ago Today

It’s wild to say that, 10 years ago today, an upstart studio shipped a little game called Grim Dawn. What’s mind-blowing to us is that that game went on to not only become a success beyond our wildest dreams at the time, but to become a staple in the ARPG genre. Grim Dawn’s success enabled Crate Entertainment to grow from a studio of just 8 people to a team of 29 today, with 4 projects currently in development. Your early support has allowed us to not only stay independent from publishers, b...

Grim dawn is an amazing game - 2,156 played and counting. I can’t wait for the new expansion.

Here is a link to my review, with a copy paste below.

What happens when diablo, torchlight, and titan quest gang bang a video game developer and you’re not quite sure who the father is? Grim Dawn.

This game, hands down gets a 10/10. Absolutely worth purchasing at full price. Here’s why.

  • The class system is amazing. You can select a single class, or you can pick up a secondary class which allows for hybrid builds. The class system is similar to titan quest, in fact the game uses the TQ engine. (I own TQ, I haven’t play much, but now I am curios to pick it back up because Grim Dawn is so awesome.) The class system creates so much depth with varied playstyles.

    • Added for copy/paste; here is the full list of classes/masteries. Arcanist, Demolitionist, Nightblade, Occultist, Shaman, Soldier, Inquisitor, Necromancer, Oathkeeper, Berserker.

  • SO MUCH LORE. Really! I loved reading all the little notes you find scattered about the world. Many of the NPCs you interact with are pretty memorable, and add depth to the story.

  • Amazing art and music really help create the gritty and desperate world that is Grim Dawn. Boss battles feel intense. Dungeons and secret lairs feel creepy.

  • 3 different difficulties if you like achievement hunting. Crucible mode if you want to do a little PVP, or co-op crucible. 3 different crucible difficulties.

  • Despite how RNG the gear system drops can be, you have the ability to buy back talent and devotion points to adjust for gear drops. Skill bonuses on gear work well with the class/talent system. (Aside from the class/mastery system, there are a series of constelations you can also earn points for. Some constelations can be linked with your skills from your mastery class giving it additional effects.)

  • Gear is tradable. If you haven’t been blessed by RNGesus, you can trade stored gear with total strangers in multiplayer crucible. I love this. I love being able to give gear to someone that might be able to use it instead of letting it collect dust in my chest. Likewise, I have been freely given some pretty nice pieces too.

  • The community is AMAZING.

    • In summary, I love Grim Dawn. Grim Dawn, please marry me and let me have your babies.

    What happens when diablo, torchlight, and titan quest gang bang a video game developer and you're not quite sure who the father is? Grim Dawn. Edit: My original review was prety terse. This game is AMAZING and deserves a much better review so I'm back with some updates. This game, hands down gets a 10/10. Absolutely worth purchasing at full price. Here's why. 1. The class system is amazing. You can select a single class, or you can pick up a secondary class which allows for hybrid builds.

    A friend and I just started playing it co-op, and what’s really going to affect our enjoyment of the lore is that only one person can be involved in an NPC conversation.
