Grimlord is a premium VR-exclusive, dark fantasy title set in a medieval world. You’ll play as a warrior making their way out of a dungeon, fighting undead enemies along the way. It’s not only the undead that you need to fight. As you explore the game’s vast world, you’ll face off against archers, swordsmen, and many more.

Grimlord also encourages assassination to take down an oblivious foe, and even features a weapon customization system. With the latter, you can mix and match weapon parts—which are found in the world—to suit your playstyle. 

Explore and fight bosses

In Grimlord, players use a variety of weapons—such as a sword and bow—to eliminate enemies. While it doesn’t have a move list, letting your imagination run wild is the best way to create your own set of moves and combos. You can also parry enemies, making you feel like a master swordsman. The bow is hard to use, especially if you don’t have good aim.

You can play as a mage, too—casting devastating spells to annihilate hordes of enemies in front of you. Although the game makes for a good workout, it’s best to stop playing if your arms are hurting. From the world design alone, it can be gleaned that this title takes inspiration from Dark Souls. Players are encouraged to explore every corner to find shortcuts and score legendary weapon parts.

Not to mention that the game lets you scale walls not only to reach certain places but also to kill foes on higher ground. The boss fights are challenging, so death is definitely inevitable. While this is rage-inducing, studying patterns and learning when to strike or avoid an attack is your best course of action. However, some players will be turned off by the game’s difficulty.

A challenging dark fantasy game

If you have a VR and want a souls-like title, consider picking up Grimlord. As expected, the combat is tough and requires an understanding of attack patterns to defeat enemies. For other players, dying repeatedly to a boss can be a source of frustration and rage. Despite its excellent world design and sweat-inducing combat, this title is not recommended for those who hate difficult games.
