Grim Quest - Old School RPG

Grim Quest attempts to merge the vibes of tabletop RPGs, the familiarity of dungeon crawling and roguelike mechanics, and a classic turn-based combat system to create an accessible and engaging gaming experience. With a strong emphasis on written storytelling, intricate worldbuilding, and rich lore, Grim Quest can be likened to a solo Dungeons and Dragons campaign or a choose-your-own-adventure book.

As a single-player game that can be played offline, Grim Quest steers clear of common monetization strategies such as lootboxes, energy bars, expensive cosmetics, paywalls, or constant microtransactions. The game only features minimal and removable ads, along with entirely optional in-app purchases for players looking to support the game's development.

Tips for Success

1. Dungeon Progression

Order of Exploration: It’s recommended to explore dungeons in a specific sequence to avoid being underpowered. For example, after defeating the Prince of Thieves, head to the Glacial Pass before tackling the Sunken Grotto.

Full Clear Dungeons: Aim to clear each dungeon fully before moving on to the next. This ensures you gain all possible loot and experience.

2. Skill Selection

Focus on building skills that complement your chosen playstyle (e.g., melee or magic). Avoid spreading your skill points too thin across different weapon types.

Magic spells recharge after each battle, making them a reliable choice for sustained combat effectiveness.

3. Combat Strategy

Target the weakest enemies first in battles to minimize damage taken. Quick elimination of foes is key to survival.

Utilize buffs and debuffs strategically to enhance your damage output or control enemy actions.

4. Resource Management

Always keep an eye on your gold reserves; running out can hinder your ability to purchase essential items or upgrades.

Consider using the dungeon retreat mechanic to farm gold efficiently while maintaining dungeon levels.

5. Sanity Management

Monitor your character's sanity closely as it can lead to unexpected consequences if neglected. Engage in activities that help maintain or restore sanity when necessary.
