Grim Quest - Old School RPG has been released:

Grim Quest - Old School RPG

Grim Quest tries to blend tabletop RPG adventure vibes, familiar dungeon crawling and roguelike mechanics, and a classic turn-based combat system into something fresh and, hopefully, entertaining. Instead of flashy graphics, it relies on written storytelling and worldbuilding which, together with carefuly picked music and visuals, serve to build up the atmosphere of mystery and immerse you in its surreal and mind-bending dark fantasy world.

"When the Dark closes in, your own mind is your worst enemy…"

Welcome to Ashborne, an ancient city poised on the brink of terror and madness, besieged from within, as well as without. Take control of one of the Ashborne's countless hired mercenaries, and shape the city's destiny alongside your own. Uncover the secrets of the mysterious Dark, as you explore the ravaged ruins of a fallen civilization, and, at the same time, plumb the hidden depths of your own mind and face your inner demons. What will you find amidst all that horror and desolation? Do you even know what it is that you're looking for?

"All too familiar human failings eat at the core of Ashborne from within, just as the hordes of unfathomable horrors, shaped by subconscious thoughts of its own citizens, besiege it from without."

*** FEATURES ***

  • immerse in a dark fantasy world with its own history and lore
  • defeat enemies and fight boss battles in a classic turn-based combat system
  • manage your character's sanity or suffer unexpected consequences
  • customize your character in a classless system with more than 50 skills and spells

I'm not the biggest fan of rogue-type games these days, yet I still might give this one a gander. The price point is reasonable, I might peek on you-tube to see more or try out the demo at some point. I'll take good story-telling over silly graphics any day and twice on a Sunday!!

Aye, it's the first demo in quite some time that's actually tempted me. I might take a gander after I finish what I'm currently playing.

It’s an IOS game, I played it awhile ago on my IPad. I wasn’t super impressed although I can’t completely remember why. But I didn’t play it for all that long.

it's nice to play a few minutes here and there. 6€ is a fair price.
