Grim Dawn Gameplay

Grim Dawn is an action role-playing game developed by Crate Entertainment.  The game was released on February 26, 2016.  Take up the fight against two invading forces, one intent on using humans as resources and the other seeking to destroy the human race before that can happen.

You are one of the last survivors of Cairn, a once proud war that was torn apart and plunged into darkness by the presence of otherworlders.  The mistakes of humans brought this world to ruin, and now, only a small pocket of resistance is left.  With new, strange abilities you must take the fight to the outsiders and reclaim your world.

Grim Dawn is focused on fast paced combat and looting.  The combat features melee and ranged attacks combined with magical spells.  Choose from a list of six classes, with your playing style being developed by selection of tier talents and spells.  Explore a wide world and unleash your might against those who seek to enslave you.

Grim Dawn is a great new game to try out if you are bored with other action RPGs as it delivers its content in a fresh new way.  While it lacks the randomization of Diablo III, its hybrid class system makes each new play a little different. 

Fight off the invaders with brutal melee or ranged attacks coupled with magical spells.

Use area of effect spells to defeat a screen full of enemies.

Never thought about it, but browsed through other dark fantasy games after reading this piece https://rawg.io/tags/dark-fantasy and thought to myself that The Witcher series is the perfect example of dark fantasy. Hell, it's even darker than the books at times, and the original game might be the darkest one. There aren't many magic there (perhaps because of the visuals) and all other aspects of dark fantasy are there.
