Description

Parting Shade - Face the grueling platforming challenges of the Abandoned Opus, a new Area which lies at the top of the Weeping Cavity.

Tinge of Terror - NG+ Mode added, along with Major modifications to existing Bosses, and an entirely New Boss, Music & Weapons.

Colors of Rot - Explore Childbed, a massive new interconnected Area. As well as 3 New Bosses, New Music, New Abilities, New Weapons Traits and more.

Destroy... Absorb... Grow... GRIME is a fast and unforgiving Action-Adventure RPG in which you crush your foes with living weapons that mutate form and function, and then consume their remains with a black hole to strengthen your vessel as you break apart a world of anatomical horror and intrigue.

An unusual material collapses in on itself, the world shudders and contracts, and suddenly you are squeezed into existence.

What awaits you is a world unknown, alien in its own familiarity, and you must survive what terrors you face. Explore your surreal surroundings, absorb the many enemies you encounter, and use their own traits against them as you let yourself become far more than you once were.

GRIME lets you play to your preference, upgrading only those traits you feel most suited to your unique style. You’ll find there is more than one way to break open an enemy as you move through a variety of evocative environments, meet their inhabitants, and discover the source of their madness.

Eye-Popping Surrealism - Uncover mysterious secrets in weeping caves and face-covered deserts. Meet otherworldly characters in distinct civilizations across an organic, interconnected world - all rendered in unearthly 3D. Face foes born of the world itself, and swallow them whole.

Death-Defying Combat - Punish enemies by parrying their attacks, smash them from the ground or even airborne, and absorb them to grow your strength as you wage war on a living world.

Living Weapons - Seamlessly swap weapons made of living creatures that mutate form during combat, from clawing swords to centipede whips.

Unique Skill Progression - Hunt down and absorb challenging monsters to improve your skills and bring true customization to your play style.

Challenge Menacing Bosses -Defeat creatures dozens of times your size. Adapt to their strategies, withstand their assault, and consume them to gain game-changing abilities that affect both combat and traversal.

New Game Plus - Old foes challenge you in new ways. Surpass your limits and upgrade weapons and traits with infinite progression. Find and fight a formidable secret boss.

Ever-Evolving Expansions - Return to the depths of GRIME with 3 DLC expansions that mutate the world around you. New abilities, bosses, enemies, and undiscovered truths await you in this writhing, growing, desolate deathscape.

If I could give a neutral review I would. It has great things like the world, enemy designs and music... but it feels so wrong to play. There's something in the movement, the feedback when fighting that's just... not

Amazing game. While many Metroidvanias with souls-like progression exist, few have a unique feel to them. Combat is relatively easy but engaging, the maps are full of secrets and extremely fun to explore, and the

What a ride! I'm super proud of our Israeli devs to have cooked up something like this! The experience have been quite close to playing one the From Software games for the first time: you don't have a clue what's going,

A wee bit janky, especially the sound, sometimes the combat can be frustrating. The story bits are intriguing. Worth the play though, honestly enjoyed it more than Hollow Knight. Looking forward to playing the next one.

This game had to grow on me, but it became very enjoyable once it did. Great abilities, loved the bosses and the atmosphere was dark and grimy. Normally don't care for this "UE5"-look, but I didn't mind it after a while.

What an absolute masterpiece of a game! I remember when this game first came out, I got addicted to it all the way up to Shapely Fidus! They became my wall. I just couldn't get passed them! Come all these years later
