Hey Yarden GRIME director again,After showing you some of the many ways where GRIME II is different from GRIME, it's probably time that- as a parry loving player myself, we talk about that.I assume most of our present fans are into parrying, so rest assured, it's back and far more versatile.So, first starters, there is now an attribute (Pliability) that directly increases parry damage.AND a parrying skill tree, with many new (and familiar) traits to modify it with.You will also be able to freely invest and refund any of the traits whenever you are in a checkpoint.As with the first game, you ca

Hey Yarden GRIME director again, and it's time to quickly touch upon consumables. In particular, how useless they are, because... well, they're consumed upon use.This is frustrating both because it encourages hoarding (guilty as charged of that myself), but it's probably even more frustrating for those that actually use them, only to die anyway and not even reap the benefit of losing all of those items!Items that they likely worked hard exploring the map and taking on challenges to gather.That fucking sucks. So instead, we have Item Molds.Item Molds refresh at checkpoints, and the more of them

Are you ready for another sneak peek into the hauntingly surreal world of GRIME II? We’re excited to share our brand-new trailer with you, which just featured as part of IGN Live and contains some never-before-seen footage from in-game! Set in a world obsessed with art, GRIME II is an action-adventure metroidvania where you play as a character known only as a Formless, an art mimic who can absorb creatures and summon molds in their shape. With the mold system, you’ll be able to absorb your enemies and transform them into living weapons, new temporary forms, powerful utilities, and much more. V

Dev Diary 2 - Molds Hey! Yarden GRIME director here. Last Diary I talked about Health Wards and how you would obtain new Molds, Creature Molds specifically. The Molds are cast using a Paint resources gained from attacking enemies, and scale with attributes to become a part of the many different possible builds. Some Molds can be sent forward for quick, ranged attacks... {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35510198/3e2b46c20dcc956f7cb8fa53e523892260d048a5.gif Some Molds will have you become them for a powerful attack, or flurry of attacks. Somewhat like Black Myth: Wukong. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35510198/6378952551

Looking for a challenge to tide you over until the release of Elden Ring Nightreign? Well, Humble may have the answer, with its latest bundle, Return to Metroidvania, offering eight Metroidvania games, including the criminally underrated soulslike Grime , for as little as $14 / £10.62. That means you get each game for as little as $1.75 / £1.33. So, if you're in the mood for pain, look no further. Read the rest of the story...

Calling all vessels! GRIME is part of Steam's Daily deal, dropping the price 45%, for a limited time only from April 20 through May 4th.

Be sure to snag a copy before this Daily Deal ends on the 4th of May. As always, stay tuned to our social and community networks for all things GRIM

Hey! Yarden GRIME director here, and I'm glad to announce that Parting Shade, our 4th and final Major Update is OUT NOW alongside our long awaited Switch Port. Parting Shade adds an entirely new endgame area to the top of the Weeping Cavity, just below the Vase rockheads. This area requires you to posses all traversal abilities because you are about to prove your mastery with them. Please enjoy our parting gift to you. Until we meet again... in the ambitious world of GRIME II. :) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35510198/9a4c70a30b488d66d73f9c5c95e9e2a76466ca38.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35510198/471c2f724813f7
