Grim Trials Demo

Grim Trials is a heavy metal action roguelite where you craft and customize your own weapons and equipment to embrace Death your own way.

Play as Avelin, a young woman who has met an untimely end, and found herself recruited as one of Death’s many Reapers. Tasked to hunt down impure souls, face her demons, and fight her way through an underworld of her own making, Avelin must endure these trials to become a full-fledged Reaper and see her still-living love once again.

In this demo, learn the basics of soul-reaping within the game’s first biome, filled with simple but hard-hitting foes. one powerful bossfight, and a couple sidequests that grant you recipes for new weapons, armor, and potions.

Endless hex-grid arenas filled with monsters, traps, sinful souls, and 7 sacrilegious bosses await. Slay them all with a variety of customizable scythes, crossbows, and powerful Blessings from the Gods of Death around the world. Master the scythe and crossbow to maximize damage to your foes with a unique combat system that rewards clever use of your dual-wielded weapons.

The spoils of battle are the tools of your trade. Gather materials from the battlefield and work with your mentors in the arcane arts to craft new and ever more powerful weapons, armor, and consumables.

Every reaper carves their own path! Mix and match your crafted equipment with skills gained from investing in an expansive skill tree at the start of every run, then choose carefully from the randomized Blessings you obtain mid-run to create powerful builds!

Explore The Academy, built for the training and arming of Death’s various Reapers. Seek enlightenment from mentors, take on quests to build your relationships, and unlock sage advice, knowledge, and powerful support from your peers. Learn the stories of the dead by interacting with the Academy’s denizens.

Coming of age in the afterlife was certainly not the plan, but dying means little to the already-dead, and love unyielding wields power no god can rival. Every time Avelin falls in battle, the experience and materials you’ve earned stay with her. Live, fight, die, then live again, over and over until the promise is kept.
