  I'll be the first to admit that Grimvalor surprised me with both its platforming and combat. It's a challenging and addicting action-platformer experience that was easy to get into and satisfying and challenging throughout its 10- to 15-hour run, depending on your play style. Some streamlined elements and visuals are evidence that it's still a noticeably mobile experience, but it is a fun one at that. If you don't care much for bloat, plot, or elaborate displays of visual fidelity, Grimvalor is absolutely worth a look.

  Grimvalor is a delightful surprise. Not exactly the most innovative metroidvania out there, nor the most challenge game with gameplay elements derived from Dark Souls, but it manages to provide a satisfactory level of challenge and a lot of secrets to unfold in one inexpensive package. I’d even say that the Switch was the perfect fit for a game like this because you can play it in small bursts, but I ended up playing Grimvalor in very long sessions without even paying attention.

  Grimvalor is an amazing hack'n'slash action platformer RPG - in fact, it might just be the best one I've played till date!

  Overall, Grimvalor is a remarkable action-platformer that everyone should try, whether or not they are into the genre. It’s also worth noting that your first playthrough will probably take around 10 hours or so, which is pretty decent bang for your buck considering the $6.99 price tag. We are looking forward to its full release, especially since the beta we got to try out definitely looks promising.

  Like its spiritual predecessor, I suspect mobile gaming fans will be playing and replaying this one for years to come. I’m a little surprised to see such effort behind a paid original title on mobile in 2018, particularly without even a hint of added purchases to be found in it. I hope it works out for the developers, because I’d love to see more feasts like this come across my mobile plate now and then.

  Grimvalor is a side-scrolling platformer for people who love the challenge that the Dark Souls series entails, but hate the punishing gameplay that comes along with it. Despite its lacklustre story, the gameplay is fast, fluid and constantly evolving to keep things engaging until the very end.

  While it might be unfair to compare Grimvalor to its obvious inspiration, the fast pace and satisfying combat make it truly stand out from the crowd. The style and setting might not be breaking any new ground, but the core of the gameplay is unique in its own right. It might even provide a good challenge for players looking for some brisk action that is great in short bursts.

  If we narrow the discussion of Grimvalor simply to a in comparison to other action platforms you can play from your pocket, then you’ll be hard pressed to find a better, more intuitive option. Move that conversation out of the shallow pond of the App Store, and into the general gaming arena at large, then it would be very easy to find a game that does everything Grimvalor does, but better.

  It's cruel and dark, but there's more to Grimvalor than just another Souls-game riff.

  Il est rare de mettre une note parfaite sur ce site, et pourtant, ce jeu de type hack & slash à l'esprit plateforme / RPG est tout bonnement excellent ! Grimvalor est magnifique, bluffant techniquement, totalement adapté à une jouabilité sur iPhone et iPad, compatible avec les sauvegardes iCloud pour emporter sa partie partout avec soit sur tous ses device, compatible avec les manettes MFi pour les allergiques des contrôles au toucher, avec une très bonne durée de vie, de l'action, de la difficulté et de nombreux défis.
