Throughout the new story I spent some time in the dark and eerie forests of Gloomwald, waded my way through the Ugenbog and eventually found myself in heart of the devastated city of Malmouth. With these two new chapters comes some great set pieces. This delivery method pays homage to the story methods of old and although some of the current gaming generation my find this a bit foreign it works really well for Grim Dawn and, if you’re a lore junkie, is worth taking the time to go through. The story and delivery follow a similar vein to the base game, offering a few comic-esce style voice over pieces along with an abundance of in game dialog and lore pieces to read through. Your character must explore two fully featured chapters in the Grim Dawn universe. To avoid spoilers I will simply say that things have gone from bad to worse. The story of Ashes picks up immediately after the events at the end of Grim Dawn.
So grab that coffee, sit back and check out our review of Grim Dawn: Ashes of Malmouth. After spending several hours with the expansion I’m here to share my experience and thoughts. With it’s new expansion, Ashes of Malmouth released earlier this month, Grim Dawn had a pretty high bar to reach in regards to content and features if it was going to live up to its name. It finds a perfect balance between the old and new, offering the complexity and dungeon crawl experience of its predecessors while maintaining the excellent standards we have come to expect from today’s ARPG titles. After the closure of Iron Lore (The company behind the TQ series) Bruno was key in securing the rights to the Titan’s Quest engine for the development of Grim Dawn.įorgive the abridged developer history but it’s important to understand where this game finds its roots to really appreciate what I have to say next, and that Grim Dawn is one of the richest, lore heavy, and engaging current ARPG’s on the Market. If you know anything about Arthur Bruno, Owner and Lead Designer for Crate Entertainment, this makes sense seeing as he was instrumental in the development of the aforementioned series. For us old timers some of the features present find their roots in the Titan's Quest series. Developed by indie studio, Crate Entertainment, Grim Dawn presents its own take on the genre offering a class combo system, a gritty post apocalyptic setting, and a beautifully created universe. Perhaps one of my personal favorites of this new generation of ARPG’s is Grim Dawn.
