Venture into a new and mysterious land in the GRIME universe, where danger and wonder await around every corner. Use your surroundings in tandem with your summoned molds to overcome deadly enemies and epic bosses, all the while exploring a deep world full of diverse cultures and characters.
Create your own playstyle by choosing from a variety of abilities, weapons, and mold summons. Learn the makings of your enemies as you summon their form to both aid you in combat, as well as in exploring the various secrets paths of the world.
Molds
Absorb defeated enemies, shaping them into molds which can then be used for special attacks. Use molds to throw enemies, fire projectiles, stun, and even turn into summons.
Environmental Combat
Wherever you go, the environment provides ample opportunities to damage enemies nearby or from a distance. Be wary, for they can do the same to you!
Parry and Grasp
Send hand-tendrils to either parry enemy attacks or grasp and absorb them, drawing you closer to learning their shape.
A Lived-In World
Discover incredible locations made of painted nails and giant vases, each with its own unique civilization, culture, and deep characters to converse with.
Customization
Customize your playstyle with over 30 weapons, 20 armurs and over 40 abilities.
