What is GRIME II?

This single-player, 2.5D action RPG casts you as a Formless, an art mimic exploring a land of painted nails and giant vases. You follow nonlinear routes, fight bosses, and absorb creatures to make molds for special attacks and exploration. Hand-tendrils let you parry attacks, and both you and your enemies can use the environment to deal damage.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy searching for secrets along branching routes
  • +you like experimenting with different weapons and ability combinations

Not for you if...

  • −you want forgiving platforming and low-pressure boss fights
