Grime is an action RPG in which the story takes place in a strange world. You embody a mysterious creature and must travel through many landscapes and face enemies, as well as bosses, to discover your true identity.

In RPGs, it is possible to explore strange worlds while facing different creatures with unique weapons. Some indie games feature these elements, such as Grime, an action RPG developed by Clover Bite and published by Akupara Games. In this game, you are plunged into an unknown world filled with terrors and dangers. 

No one knows who you are, not even you, and you embody a creature with a black hole instead of a face. In this unearthly 3D world, you have to cross caves and other environments to uncover secrets that will reveal your true identity. But on your way, you’ll encounter many terrifying creatures. They have different abilities, as well as weaknesses that you will have to exploit. And you’ll be fighting with living weapons. 

Indeed, made of living creatures, they can mutate during your battles. In addition, when an enemy is defeated, you can absorb its body to gain new abilities and customize your playstyle. However, you’ll also face bosses that are much taller than you, and you’ll need to find the perfect strategy to defeat them.

Since its release on August 2, 2021, 6,304 reviews have been published on its Steam page, and 85% are positive. Metacritic also shows good reviews, with a Metascore of 81 and a user score of 7.5. Thus, this action RPG, which combines Souls-like and Metroidvania mechanics, has a remarkable universe and beautiful graphics. However, while these fights are appreciated, they aren't innovative and are inspired by other games of the same type. In addition, there are numerous bugs, both visual and audio. 

Nevertheless, it is currently at its lowest price, at $9.99 on Steam until April 14, 2026. Indeed, according to SteamDB, it is 60% off, and its price will return to $24.99 after that date. But if you want to try it first, there's a demo available, and four updates with new content and features have been added.
