Inside the game
THE QUICK INTRODUCTION
What’s it all about?
Grim Dawn gives an action-RPG character several interacting layers to build. Masteries, equipment and other progression choices can support a particular attack or open a different way to survive. Exploring its ruined world supplies both encounters and decisions about where to take the character next.
Choose a clear damage plan before spreading resources across unrelated abilities. Equipment becomes easier to evaluate when you understand what your build is trying to accomplish. This suits players who enjoy loot and character experimentation, with the original game and optional expansions distinguished on the PC store.
