Grim Dawn - Fangs of Asterkarn

Well I started it again. Goodbye rest of the year. Berserker is an awesome mastery the possibilities are endless. Wereraven is so sick. Game looks and feels better than it ever did. Haven't seen the new areas yet but if the screenshots are anything to go by, its gonna be a treat. Cons: -Not enough sex scenes. -Lingerie options are too limited, especially for males.

Grim Dawn has become the best ARPG on the market by now. A deeper review will follow in time.

English Version (Formal but frank, fit for Steam forum / dev feedback, keeps all your original complaints intact, natural for western ARPG players) Disclaimer first: This is genuinely a great game, I’ve had tons of fun with it. But do the devs even play their own game? They just dump test builds on us players to do all the playtesting for them. The new DLC map is massive yet completely empty, and don’t even get me started on how terrible the Malmouth map design has been for years. The game’s abysmal tutorial and quest guidance have been a known issue forever, yet the dev team never bothers fixing it. Sure, you can learn everything after hundreds of play hours—but is that really a good thing? Small gaming communities always attract toxic loudmouth content creators. Two streamers, Dusk Deep and Tea-Drinking Druid, stirred up a massive backlash. They flooded the devs with feedback demanding nerfs to almost every other build, while never saying a single word about summoner builds. Summoners can auto-farm the Arena and one-shot Celestials—how is that balanced? Now those same people are still begging to nerf every other class; where’s the sense in that? The new mechanics added in the DLC are fantastic, but come on devs, you dropped Berserker shapeshifts and made Werewolf & Raven forms utterly garbage. Please buff these new class variants. This is a single-player game, not a seasonal live service like Path of Exile or Diablo—we just want satisfying, satisfying loot cleave gameplay. The three summoner builds are absurdly easy to get fully set up, while every other class gets left out in the cold with terrible stat scaling. I had a half-built Warlord before the DLC patch rolled out. Back then, I could clear Arena wave 170 comfortably and farm Shattered Realm floor 10 without much pressure. After the update? I struggle hard just past Arena wave 130, and I run out of time by Shattered Realm floor 4. Meanwhile those two problematic streamers are still uploading videos of summoners speed-running 30–31 floors and deleting Celestials instantly. I’m begging the devs to rebalance the stats for all other classes and give them meaningful buffs. Constantly slashing power and cranking up overall difficulty only drives new players away. Instead of rushing to work on Grim Dawn 2, please listen to your existing playerbase and polish Grim Dawn properly first. Stop blindly taking terrible feedback from a handful of toxic content creators in the GD community. Those streamers test build strength using cheat engines, then turn around and claim certain builds are overpowered—they never mention how rare or hard it is to farm the required gear at all! All they do is scream nonstop about nerfing everything they personally dislike. If anything, summoners are the ones who desperately need nerfs right now. But if the devs do tone summoners down, those creators will immediately throw a fit and whine that summoners have slow movement and bad map traversal. They want all the perks with zero downsides, and it’s infuriating. Devs, please put more care into refining this game!叠甲：游戏是个好游戏，确实好玩 官方做游戏自己是不玩吗，只出测试让我玩家测试？新dlc地图大且空旷，马尔茅斯的shit地图出了几年了，我就不用说什么了。游戏指引差都老生常谈了，官方也不作为。当然这些问题你玩个几百个小时就解决了（这真是好事吗？？？？？） 圈子越小神人越神，黄昏深处和喝茶的德鲁伊，带了多大一波的节奏，给官方反馈削弱别的职业bd，召唤你是提也不提，召唤挂机竞技场，秒天神，强度平衡吗？？？？？现在喊着削弱别的职业，还有人类吗？？？？ dlc新增功能很好，但是！我chovy！出狂战士你给我出好的啊！变身狼人鸦人简直捞的淌口水，官方能不能加强一下新职业，一个单机游戏又不是暗黑流放那样的赛季制，就是要割草爽啊。三大召唤天外天成型快，别的职业的数值你倒是给一给啊 我新玩的战争领主装备还没毕业，在新dlc更新之前。竞技场可以打过170层，碎境刷到十层压力不大，新dlc更新之后。竞技场130层就很吃力了，碎境达到第四层就时间不够了 两个神人主播还在出视频，召唤速刷3031，秒天神 希望官方调整一下其他职业的数值加强一下，你一直削弱数值，提高篇游戏难度，不是增加新手退坑的操作？？？？ 与其做gd2不如先听听玩家意见，好好更新一下gd，而不是看gd板块某些shit博主的shit反馈，几个博主开着修改器去测试bd强度，然后说数值高？？？？？装备怎么刷在哪刷？获取难度有多高？一点不提是吗？？？然后就张个臭嘴叫叫叫，这个太强了得削弱，那个太强了得平衡，先把你的无脑挂机召唤削弱一下吧？真削弱了，又得跟官方上嘴脸，召唤腿短跑图慢，呦呦呦好事全被你俩占了，两个臭鱼烂虾 官方用心做游戏吧！！！！！！！！！

I thoroughly enjoyed this expansion. At its core, it's more Grim Dawn. New areas, new enemies, new items and secrets and classes. But it adds a lot of new things too, from the potions crating and item rerolling to the new ways to crank up the difficulty and rewards. Glad to get such a great expansion so late into the game's life

- level design passable - quest design nul (on est perdu et on perd son temps) - crafting nul à chier (systématiquement désavantageux) - taux de drop inadapté bref aucun plaisir, dommage j'avais adoré à l'époque

It's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ AMAZING, made an already fantastic game go from 10/10 to 12/10.

good

As a long time Grim Dawn player, I've seen a lot of changes from the old days. Overall, FoA implements a mind-boggling number of updates, and they're all quite fun and welcome. For example, upheaval is no longer procs exclusively on crit, and is now a dedicated wps. Finally. On its own, obviously a small tweak, but there are TONS of things like this. They've also implemented a number of item-based skill boosts that, in my opinion, make lots of things just a little bit more fun. These are all welcome changes, although many of them I expect will fundamentally shift quite a few legacy builds. Still, for me, this a breathed at least a few more runs of new life into what is, at this point, a rather old game. Plenty of new items drop from the getgo, and they all offer interesting tweaks to oldies but goodies I'm sure lots of folks will be interested in making a new build to try out. I'm sure some changes won't be for everyone, but that's just how it goes, isn't it?
