This game is geared to force you to purchase. The progress is painfully slow and there is zero incentive to free play. Gold is impossible to keep stashed as you're required to spend every coin just to survive a dungeon and all the upgrades and purchases are perpetually out of reach with sky-high costs. Grade: F-

I have officially finished all of the content. Grim Tides, a fun yet lacking experience compared to it's predecessor, Grim Quest. While the story was still excellent, the customization of my character felt limited. Once you've locked into your weapon type (slashing, stabbing) you can only learn the abilities linked to that type of weapon. With forcing us to only use 1 ability tree it severely limits creativity. Also, the ship combat is just a no. Overall, loved the game, but it's no Grim Quest.

a good game, especially glad they try their best not to flood with ads. chosen to purchase the ad removal because I like the game and thought there are as few ads as possible I liked the game enough to probably try multiple builds so it'll make things easier in the long run. also, I NEVER spend money on games if I can avoid it, so that speaks to how much I appreciate the game.
