Grim dawn: game review

There are many game projects that are not known to the general public. All of them are lost among the loud news about the conceptually "new" parts of the Assassin Creed, Fallout and The Witcher. Meanwhile, a little-known studio Crate Entertainment received the rights to the "engine" of Titan Quest and the last four years worked painstakingly on the game Grim dawn, the review of which you now read.

Plot

We will begin our story with the plot of this remarkable game. It should be noted right away that we are dealing with the genre of Action RPG, and therefore expecting something supernatural is not worth it. Developers will introduce us to the world stuck in the Victorian era. And all would be nothing, but the player has to fight with ... aliens. It seems to be an original idea, but in practice it will be the same monsters familiar to us for any other game.

The main action of the game takes place around the town "Devil's Crossroads", where our hero appears as a refugee. But how did he get there and what did that lead to?

Game Grim dawn, the review of which you read, at the very beginning does not give an unambiguous answer. The screensaver is made aby as it reminds of an inarticulate comic, when viewing it it seems that it will go about hunting witches and witches. However, it is not.

Mankind, in its eternal quest for knowledge, opens the portal to the other world and invokes creatures from there. But, as usual, everything goes awry, and the aliens break free. The plot is similar to all known "Diablo", but here comes into play the third force - another race of aliens, which, in order to prevent the strengthening of their opponents, begins to destroy humanity. So, mankind has appeared between two fires, and our hero is to save him.

Gameplay

Actually, for Grim dawn review of the game is not required. Bleeding the character is completely borrowed from Titan Quest. You can also choose one specialization and go on it by the chosen path. Even the icons do not differ in the drawing.

The gameplay itself is not much more diverse - run and shred everything that gets in the way. Interest can cause unless the search notes of local residents. Of these, the player gradually learns the history of this world falling apart.

Separately, we can single out a system for creating weapons, which, according to the developers themselves, was borrowed from the well-known DotA. What this means, you can learn by yourself, having tried it in practice.

The only distinguishing feature would be the weapons used by the players. You can use authentic muskets. But only this idea has already been implemented in Torchlight.

Actually, we can conclude that the developers were able to bring into the game industry nothing new, hinting in an ordinary slasher is not the best ideas from other game projects. By the way, the maximum level of the character is limited to 40. This is insanely small for a project that encroaches on the tops of Diablo and Titan Quest. But on this game Grim dawn, the review of which you read, does not end disappointing.

Transfer

The main problem that a Russian-speaking gamer encountered was localization. So problematic release is difficult to imagine. Perhaps this is another significant drawback of Grim dawn. Overview in Russian, presented here, is not meant to tarnish the game, we just present to your attention the facts.

The fact is that the problems of translators began immediately and did not end with the release. There are several problems with which he could not cope.

• The Russian text does not work in the introductory video. So it's impossible to learn back story. Look for notes.
• Dialogues do not work when starting a new game. The localizer offers to reach the first teleport, save and restart the game. After this, conversations with NPCs should proceed normally.
• On boot screens, the appearing "tips" do not fit in one line, and they can not be placed into two localizers.

As you can see, Grim dawn, the review of which does not bode well, turned out to be a "failure" both on the part of development and localization.
