we completed the first map of the game—Castle Roar, which is now open for exploration. There is more item supply point. Also, treasure chests are added for players to find legendary weapons and components. Now we have more weapons and weapon parts to be chosen from, and slightly more options to be crafted in the Blacksmith. Expanding the variety of weapons will be our priority after the implementation of progression systems.
We incorporated a climbing system, some hidden places can only be accessed by climbing up walls. It would be fun to strategically flank and assassinate your opponents.
In addition to the undead, human mercenaries have also joined the fight. They are more cunning and more lethal, their movements are unpredictable and their combat tactics are versatile. And each type of human enemy has a unique personality. Some are bolder and will get up in your face as soon as they see you, some are more discreet and favor long-range weapons and vantage points, and some will gang up on you or gradually surround you. Their AI will be much more complex and intricate in later versions.
To reflect a bit of reality when it comes to human enemies, if you hit them in their weak points like exposed necks or gaps in helmets, they will drop dead immediately. So, practice more and master your technics if you want to one-shot them.
Various mechanics and content including talent tree, new boss fights, and new regions, NPCs, and weapon parts are set to be updated in later versions!
Thank you for playing Grimlord, enjoy the carnage!

Grimlord Demo v0.1.9 Release
Update v0.1.9
Dear fellow adventurers:
We got tons of feedback in the past few weeks following the release of Grimlord’s demo, we were thrilled to get to know your experience with the game. And, we brought some new content for this amazing game fest, just update the game and give it a try.
In this new patch, we added hit effects of magic spells into the game, enemies will be frozen (added in the last update), paralyzed and burnt after being hit. These effects will restrict enemies’ movement in each of their unique ways and beef up the AOE abilities of sorcerer class.
now we just can't afford igoring staffs.
Other than that, we removed potion slots from the game, instead, there is a small satchel to carry your consumables. We hope to mimic the realistic experience of finding items in your bags, when putting your hand on the satchel, you will see an UI prompt, press the trigger button to cycle through your items, then you can pull out the one you wanted. When putting your item back into the satchel, simple move it to wherever you want to put in inside the satchel then release the grab button (if using the Check on mode, then you need only to press the grab button once to put your item back).
Since we added a satchel in the game, there will be more items coming up soon, and, to let you guys get a hands-on feeling of how new items can alter the way you play the game, we added black powder grenades.
You can throw them toward those filthy enemies and watch them explode into bits and pieces. Black powder grenades can be found in certain areas and enemies have a small chance of dropping them.
After this update, we will concentrate on the game’s beta version, if you are interested in our game, please add our game to your wish list or join our discord to talk about all things Grimlord, you may even get a passcode for beta test. We have high hopes for Grimlord and there will be more content coming up soon.
We appreciate each and every one of your comment and suggestion.
Thank you for playing our game, thank you for your support!
