![]() The world isn't called Grindea for nothing, you will have to slay hundreds of every mobs to catch them all. They are incredibly valuable because they add permanent stats to your character. Here's a few things to look out forĬards: Cards are a rare drop from any mob in the game. I do recommend that you play on the hardest difficulty, it is the most enjoyable experience if you are willing to die a few extra times.Ĭollectables are a huge part of Secrets of Grindea. When I played, I played on the hardest difficulty, if you aren't looking for a challenge and you just want to take it easy you can lower your difficulty to your liking. Usually in combat you can depend on your shield to block attacks, in boss fights however your shield will be broken if you depend on it too much. In fact if you are under-leveled you can still defeat the bosses if you play well. The game starts you off with some rather easy scatter shots, and eventually has you on edge the entire boss fight making sure not to mess up.īoss fights are not stat checks, unless you are severely over-leveled, the only way to beat bosses is to be good. The Touhouesque bosses have you running and weaving between hundreds of projectiles while you look for your opportunities to attack. The challenge the bosses in Secrets of Grindea provided were entertaining to no end. I remember the frustration from dying over and over and the satisfaction after slamming that smug bosses corpse through a window. The boss fights are a bitter-sweet memory for me. Some spells include chain lightning, earth spike, meteor, insect swarm, wind slash, and fireball.Īrchery is not something you exclusively specialize in, all characters can carry arrows and use them in addition to whatever the typically use. Going with a pure magic build is a bit more difficult but it can be pulled off. Magic includes combat spells and summoning spells. You can focus completely on magic or just add some magic to your regular repertoire.Įarth, Air, Fire, and Ice are the four types at your disposal and you can choose to specialize or be a generalist in your magic. You must choose your moments to attack carefully. While you don't have the agility of the one handed class you far exceed its power. You find opportunities to bash your opponents face in. This is the great sword and hammer class. This is the class I used and I enjoyed the speed and dodging capabilities. When using one handed weapons you can use shadow clones, back steps, flurries, and vorpal slashes. The moves in this tree are all focused on ducking in and out while finding opportunities to do damage with a quick flurry of attacks. ![]() The moves available with one handed melee weapons all are similar to an assassin archetype. I'll put a brief description of your options You can mix and match whatever you'd like, which makes it so nearly everyone's character is different. The game has a number of weapon types and a number of magic types. The combat in the game was the initial draw to the game for me. With this title we all enjoyed the light-hearted witty dialogue, but the combat definitely wasn't lacking at all. Usually when I play with others we blaze through the dialogue and just start killing monsters. But the decent chunk of story I was able to play through was incredibly captivating. However, this is not a finished game so I can really only judge based on what I've been presented with. The strange satirical story will get a chuckle out of most and yet it is still engaging and can be serious at times. And afterwards he encourages you to begin your journey, and attain the license to finally become a collector.Īs you go on your journey you meet a number of hilarious characters that parody the traditional characters in the old Super Nintendo RPGs. Your father gives you an artifact in the form of a talking bottomless bag. These rare items help with research and improve your own personal level of strength. In this world there are a number of collectors that hunt down monsters, and scour the world of Grindea for rare items. Your newly created character begins a conversation with your father and he reminds you of your life goal. The story begins as you wake in your bed. I grabbed my key, downloaded the game, created my character and joined two of my good buds in the world of Grindea. But a couple minutes later I got a message with some of the gameplay. At first look it seemed like any other generic steam game, it wasn't even finished! And the thought of wasting my money on that seemed laughable. ![]() I looked at screen shots and immediately shot them down. A couple of buddies of mine were trying to convince me to play this strange 2d pixelated game I'd never heard of before. I remember my first encounter with Secrets of Grindea was about 2 years ago.
