GRIME News

Hey Rockheads!

I’m excited to announce that GRIME: Colors of Rot will be released on Xbox, Steam, and Playstation on December 15th!

With new weapons like the Bowaxes (yes, they are both axes and a bow,) new abilities like Hover, new bosses like REDACTED and a whole new area called Childbed to explore, Colors of Rot adds plenty to your favorite soulslike metroidvania. Colors of Rot comes both to our PC platforms as well as Xbox and Playstation, so there’s never been a better opportunity for you to play!

Finally, while we do not have a release date to announce just yet, I would like to apologize for the long stretch of silence.

The changes and additions done to the game are all the result of all of the player feedback we have received. So thank you for anyone who has taken the team to share with us your thoughts, issues and frustrations with GRIME.

We hope that the wait will end up being worth it!

Colors of Rot is our gift to you.

Hey! Yarden GRIME director here, and welcome to another DLC update.

So, in addition to the previously discussed new content coming in the DLC (Enemies, Bosses, Abilities and more...) there are also going to be new weapons with their own new & unique mechanics.

Bow Weapons - Since GRIME wasn't really designed with ranged weapons in mind, the bow weapons balance between melee and range by having you collect arrows via attacking enemies, which can then be fired.

The Bowaxes can either launch a single, powerful long range arrow. Or held to launch an even stronger piercing arrow.


The Bowdaggers can fire arrows the fastest of all Bow weapons. They can also accumulate the most arrows, which can then be rapidly shot one after the other to decimate a single enemy.


Most of the damage dealt by Bow weapons is gated behind their arrows, so make frequent use of them.

Tarbile "Poison" Weapons -

Tarbile weapons gain Tarbile stacks from attacking enemies, and their special attack transfers all collected stacks unto the enemy.
Every several seconds the Stacks will trigger, dealing based on the number of stacks and reducing their total amount.


Weapons are not the only new items you will be able to find. :)



Next Update I'll be going over some of the quality of life improvement we have made, taking into account all of the player feedback we have received since launch.

Hey! Yarden GRIME director here,

This hotfix fixes an issue preventing controller players from interacting with the "Remake" button.

Other than that, here are some more updates on the MASSIVE story DLC we are currently working on.

DLC:

In addition to new content such as enemies, bosses, weapons and more. This new DLC will also rework and expand upon existing content:
Enemies - The most notable example so far is the Grieving Rockgiant, which felt too similar to harmless rather than its own unique Miniboss. So it will now have new attacks, new mechanics and more.

Ninja Rockhead? :wht:
Areas - Another example is existing areas will now receive additional and expanded challenge sections to reward backtracking. Such as floating pullable sand platforms in the Unformed Desert.

Next update I'll share a new progression element that will be added all over the game world to farther reward exploration while empowering yourself for future encounters.
