New GRIME II Trailer Revealed in IGN Live

[p]Are you ready for another sneak peek into the hauntingly surreal world of GRIME II? We’re excited to share our brand-new trailer with you, which just featured as part of IGN Live and contains some never-before-seen footage from in-game! [/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]
Set in a world obsessed with art, GRIME II is an action-adventure metroidvania where you play as a character known only as a Formless, an art mimic who can absorb creatures and summon molds in their shape. With the mold system, you’ll be able to absorb your enemies and transform them into living weapons, new temporary forms, powerful utilities, and much more.

Venture into a new and mysterious land in the GRIME universe, where danger and wonder await around every corner. Use your surroundings in tandem with your summoned molds to overcome deadly enemies and epic bosses, all the while exploring a deep world full of diverse cultures and characters.

GRIME II Dev Diary 2 - Enemy Molds

Dev Diary 2 - Molds

Hey! Yarden GRIME director here.
Last Diary I talked about Health Wards and how you would obtain new Molds, Creature Molds specifically.

The Molds are cast using a Paint resources gained from attacking enemies, and scale with attributes to become a part of the many different possible builds.

Some Molds can be sent forward for quick, ranged attacks...


Some Molds will have you become them for a powerful attack, or flurry of attacks. Somewhat like Black Myth: Wukong.


Other Molds can offer powerful utility, apply debuffs, launch enemies, and more...

But there is another kind of Molds... Item Molds.
Their goal is to hopefully prevent hoarding behavior (which I am also guilty of), while also replacing the disappointing tedium of finding single use consumables that you'll hardly ever use.

But more on that on the next Dev Diary...


Until then, a reminder that we post WEEKLY updates to our Social Media (Links at the bottom of the post).
Here is an example of one showing some of the new outfits:



See you next time. :)

Be quick and grab twisted soulslike RPG Grime for under $2

Looking for a challenge to tide you over until the release of Elden Ring Nightreign? Well, Humble may have the answer, with its latest bundle, Return to Metroidvania, offering eight Metroidvania games, including the criminally underrated soulslike Grime, for as little as $14 / £10.62. That means you get each game for as little as $1.75 / £1.33. So, if you're in the mood for pain, look no further.
