The value story
It has never been cheaper than $14.99. That was September 2026. 26 discounts in the 3 years on record. They run about 20 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.
On value it sits in the top 34 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 94 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 69 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Hellsplit: Arena ($24.99, scores 40) beats it on value, while it beats Legendary Tales ($39.99, scores 26).
22 of the 498 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written June 2023 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 3,162 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 123 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 1 of the 22 refunded reviewers was past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 61 percent of the 284 reviews written there were positive, against 78 percent overall, and those are 31 percent of everything written about it.
Finishing takes 11.1 hours; clearing it takes 30, which is 2.7 times the campaign.
What players say
Grimlord is the most complete Souls-like experience on VR I've encountered, despite noticeable technical shortcomings. There's 18 to 20 hours of content without repeated areas, impressive for such a small team, especially in VR. Combat is animation-based but it's affected by physics as well for NPCs and obviously free form for the player, with weighty weapon handling and a surprisingly deep magic system reminiscent...
It's most definitely a Souls-like experience, in VR. You fight monsters with hand to hand, ranged, or magic weaponry and gain currency for victories. You can use this currency to buy some things and level up. Thank goodness there's also gold, so you can still use the blacksmith's services even when you've just been smacked up and are thus at zero such currency since, as being a souls-like entails, when you die you...
Fidelixia. Don't know who that is? Count yourself blessed. You can look her up if you want, but all you need to know is she is well past the 2hr refund window
