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.

Overall this is a solid Metroidvania experience. Combat, art, VFX and music is top notch. The world, story and characters were uninteresting to me, although I think the dialogue was funny at times. I encountered some

I wanted to like this game. I loved GRIME; the environment, the parrying, the ambiance, the soundscape and music tracks, the world building and characters were all incredibly memorable. A world clearly built and

Capitalizes on everything from the first game. Improved combat, weapon variety, movement, biomes, music and lore. A must play if you are a fan of modern metroidvanias (Hollow Knight, MIO, Dead Cells, Ori). Playing Grime

Very good game dragged down by excessive movement zones. You know it's annoying when they give you an ability to *mitigate* the damage you take from the hazard-filled parkour zones. Otherwise VERY good, just keep that

Amazing soulsvania with a lot of high quality content! A lot of good platforming, bosses, and deep character progression. I'm 22 hrs in and I feel like there's still a huge chunk of the game left. The more you play this

Really solid metroidvania! Pretty good combat and the platforming has a really cool mix of mechanics that are fun to combine, especially in the late game. Runbacks to the bosses are really short and very little
