Crate Entertainment

Steam artwork — Grim Dawn
Quick read

Grim Dawn is an isometric ARPG: classes, loot, a world that stays. Death is a corpse run. The character is the save, and the next rare is a name on the ground.

What kind of game is it?

Persistent character, dual classes, a map you keep. You kill, you loot, you respec a tree that does not wipe when you fall. Co-op is optional on the same world.

Who is it for?

For players who keep building a character out of the loot of a dead world.
