  2. Request access to the Grindcore playtest there. It's free and doesn't commit you to anything.

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!
