Grimlord News

- Fixed an issue where the barrier of re-challenging a BOSS could not be opened.
- Fixed an issue where Fedelixia would cancel its attack and reroute its actions when blocked by a pillar.
- Fixed an issue where the hint for the final ending could not be displayed properly.
- Fixed an issue where boss drops could get stuck in walls and become uncollectable (this issue did not affect material acquisition or part unlocking).

It has been two months since the official launch of the game, and we are actively working to address various issues highlighted by the community. We are also steadily developing new content.

In this significant update, we addressed the frequently raised issue of lost weapons. Now, when a player's character dies, all dropped weapons will be retrieved by Pech and respawned near the resurrection point. You won't need to rummage through the monastery anymore. Please note that this feature will not activate if you use the teleport feature, to avoid a situation where a bunch of weapons rain down on you every time you arrive at a teleport point. Overall, this adjustment will greatly enhance the gameplay experience. We welcome any further suggestions and encourage you to participate in the community discussions.



Furthermore, we have increased the frequency of physics calculations. We have also addressed the issue of weapon penetration through monsters, which Meta Quest players have reported. While it's hard to eliminate this issue for now, our testing indicates that only high-speed and short attacks may be missed. We hope these improvements will enhance the experience for Meta Quest users.



In terms of future plans, we are intensifying our preparations for the arena mode, along with a storyline and quests that complement this mode. The arena will be an extension of the main storyline, featuring its own narrative threads that are still connected to the main plot. The rewards obtained from the arena will also help us explore the main storyline more effectively.

We remain dedicated to improving players' experiences and fostering an active and open community. If you have any insights about Grimlord, we invite you to join our community discussions.

We know how important localization of German, French, Spanish, and Korean is to our community, and we've heard your requests for improvements loud and clear. Our team has dedicated a significant amount of time to enhance the localization experience, ensuring that it meets the high standards you've been guaranteed.

To ensure stability and gather valuable feedback, we’re excited to announce that this update has been released on our Beta Channel. We encourage you to join us in testing these improvements!

2. Select Properties: From the context menu, choose the Properties option.

We appreciate your support and patience as we work to deliver a better experience. Your feedback is invaluable, so please don’t hesitate to share your thoughts after trying out the new localization features!

Happy testing!

It's been a while since the game's release, and we’ve received a lot of feedback since then. We appreciate Grimlord and the entire community as a whole, and a significant part of it has been positive.

Thank you sincerely for your support! We are committed to ongoing optimization and content updates because this is a long-term endeavor that doesn't end with the game's launch.

We are proud to have a highly active community where players engage, explore, and share valuable suggestions. We’ve also noted various issues players have encountered. Many have expressed that spell casting is difficult to use and ineffective.

In response, we've improved the tutorial for the spell casting, and buffed the mana damage. Additionally, some new players found certain early-game enemies quite challenging, so we’ve made adjustments to make sure everyone can get through the first 2 levels in an easier way.

However, this doesn’t mean defeating enemies will be easy; you will still need to be fully engaged in the combat!

Looking ahead, we are strictly following our roadmap. Soon, you can expect the introduction of arena quests and a dedicated arena mode, along with a new enhancement system. These changes will provide new players with better progression paths and offer more enjoyment for those with multiple New Game+ runs. We are also excited to soon support modkits, which are nearly ready for use.

This will bring a whole new world to the game, and we can't wait to see the creativity players will unleash!

Now, let’s take a closer look at the changes in this patch.
