Grimshade is a party‑based tactical role‑playing game (RPG) for Windows that draws heavy inspiration from classic JRPGs and turn‑based strategy mechanics. Released in 2019 by developer TALEROCK and published by Asterion Games, it takes players on a gritty journey across the war‑torn world of Ree’fah, where monstrous enemies and collapsing kingdoms have thrown life into chaos.
Players assemble and lead a diverse cast of heroes — each with unique abilities, personalities, and equipment‑based skill growth — to uncover the mystery behind the conflict and survive dangerous tactical battles. Combat unfolds on turn‑based grids, requiring careful planning, positioning, and party synergy to overcome varied foes. The equipment system allows horizontal character progression: weapons, armor, and accessories grant new skills that can drastically change combat roles.
Set in a richly hand‑painted fantasy world, Grimshade blends narrative exploration with complex tactical depth, rewarding thoughtful strategy over brute force. With more than 20 hours of story content, this indie RPG immerses players in suspense, colorful environments, and memorable encounters that recall beloved classic titles in the genre.
