Description

Become a stealer of forms in GRIME II, the sequel to 2021's acclaimed action-adventure metroidvania. You are a Formless - an art mimic, absorbing creatures and summoning molds in their shape.

Venture into a new and mysterious land in the GRIME universe, where danger and wonder await around every corner. Use your surroundings in tandem with your summoned molds to overcome deadly enemies and epic bosses, all the while exploring a deep world full of diverse cultures and characters.

Create your own playstyle by choosing from a variety of abilities, weapons, and mold summons. Learn the makings of your enemies as you summon their form to both aid you in combat, as well as in exploring the various secrets paths of the world.

  • MoldsĀ - Absorb defeated enemies, shaping them into molds which can then be used for special attacks.
    Use molds to throw enemies, fire projectiles, stun, and even turn into summons.

  • Environmental Combat - Wherever you go, the environment provides ample opportunities to damage enemies nearby or from a distance. Be wary, for they can do the same to you!

  • Parry and Grasp - Send hand-tendrils to either parry enemy attacks or grasp and absorb them, drawing you closer to learning their shape.

  • A Lived-in World - Discover incredible locations made of painted nails and giant vases, each with its own unique civilization, culture, and deep characters to converse with.

  • Customise your playstyle with over 30 weapons, 60 armours and 12 abilities.

Feels like a downgrade from the first game. It still has some cool new mechanics yet I think the devs overcooked on this one especially when it comes to the mold system. The concept of it sounds inticing yet it fails to

Excellent game. expanded on the first one with cool new abilities and new twists on them, new progression style , love it. Big plus is removal of stamina and replacing it with "force" kinda like stam but not really.

eaaaasily one of my favorite metroidvanias. Even better than the first! If you liked the first, it's plain better. If you didn't like the first because it was too parry centric: try the demo. Grime 1 didn't require you

Grime II is a substantial improvement over the first game in almost every gameplay category, but it also introduces one major change that I strongly dislike. There is an increased focus on dialogue and story

Platforming abilities are fun, but I wish the platforming itself was a bit less janky and hazard hitboxes more accurate. Combat is also great and fairly responsive, but I was getting tired of how later bosses really
