About Grindcore
TELEGRAPHED COMBAT
Clearly telegraphed combat for skillful play.
The emphasis on clear gameplay goes beyond clearly telegraphed skills, all aspects of gameplay
are concisely represented. The Combat Log summarizes all damage input and output.
The Explanation System introduces all concepts on demand.
ITEMIZATION
Grinding is of course all about the loot.
When you play any of the game's many Game Modes you will get loot in the form
of items and resources. Legendary items are particularly powerful
and some are part of Item Sets leading to lethal combinations.
DEEP PROGRESSION SYSTEMS
The talent system allows you to specialize your playstyle.
There are multiple progression systems that all affect each other.
You receive a Talent Point each time you level up. Skills can level up, giving you ways to customize them.
Weapons can be forged and upgraded. Items can be crafted. And more!
HIGH ACTION GAMEPLAY
Keep on grinding endlessly!
