Inside the two-hour refund window, 65 percent of the 589 reviews written there were positive, against 81 percent overall, and those are 9 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
It gets old quicker than other ARPGs, but it's fun enough while it lasts. Level design is meh, animations are meh, mob variety is meh. Upgrade systems are fun, gameplay is weird because it kinda requires auto-targeting (which is flawed), but it's fun enough. All in all it's about a 6/10 or 7/10 experience. It's good enough to pass the time for a while so I'm not gonna give it a negative review. But in an ARPG world...
Really enjoy the game, but would LOVE more frequent updates (perhaps just a couple quality of life upgrades). Hoping the new Witch class drops soon! My theorycrafting needs a place to live for a while ; )
It is a fun aRPG at the start but having to grind just to progress the story is a turn off. Not a grind to get incrementally stronger because you need to for the next quest, but forced to grind artificially imposed by the gamemaker for the sake of a grind (do x so many times). Play Grim Dawn if you have self respect for your time.
