Grim Soul: Dark Fantasy Survival
Did you know that the Brothers Grimm were more than just literary men and collectors of fairy tales? They transformed folklore into a form digestible for children so that boys and girls, having heard an original work, for example, about Little Red Riding Hood or Cinderella, would not turn gray ahead of time.
But these plots were really creepy! You don't need to look far for examples:
- The wolf from Little Red Riding Hood not only kills the grandmother, but also prepares various dishes from her, and then feeds them to the granddaughter who has come;
- The goat from "The Wolf and the Seven Kids" stuffs the stomach of the wolf with stones, and then invites him to compete in jumping over the fire. Because of the cobblestones in the belly, the predator falls into flames and burns alive;
- One of the stepmother's daughters in Cinderella cuts off her toe to fit into the crystal slipper left by the heroine at the ball;
- The main character of The Sleeping Beauty woke up from the curse on her own, just after the black magic expired, she still met the prince, bore him two children, and his mother wanted to eat them.
In general, despite the fact that the first collection of fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm was called Children's and Family Tales, it was not suitable for either children or family reading. In fact, these German writers made a whole universe of dark fantasy out of folk legends.
And on its basis, the Grim Soul: Dark Fantasy Survival survival appeared.
Not life, but a fairy tale!
Grim Soul: Dark Fantasy Survival is a free multiplayer survival game set in a dark fantasy world based on the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm. True, these works served only as a literary basis, so one should not hope to meet Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty or Little Red Riding Hood here. But, for example, one of the clan bosses is called the Great Stepmother Aissa.
The plot is as simple as the name of the dwarf Rumplestiltskin. Once upon a time, there was a prosperous Kingdom, with a wise ruler and a well-thought-out medieval economy, in which people were not exploited, and so on. But one day, an insidious evil got to this incredibly progressive state and turned the once fertile green lands into those filled with fear and darkness. And people have become eternally wandering souls.
And in this unpleasant world the protagonist finds himself. And he has to survive here, collecting resources, constructing various values from them, building a house for himself, defending himself from enemies and fighting with zombie knights! The developers call their brainchild souls-like, but in fact, the project with Dark Souls unites only the word Soul in the title.
Grim Soul: Dark Fantasy Survival Survival
The developers of Grim Soul: Dark Fantasy Survival have tried to combine the features of a fairly large number of genres in their project - otherwise, 15.5 million downloads in one Play Store will not be achieved. The following directions "stick out" from the gameplay:
- RPG. Each character can belong to one class or another. The choice of direction determines the available active and passive skills, development branches and the effectiveness of weapons;
- Survival. The main character suffers from hunger and thirst, so he has to hunt all kinds of game, empty wells and collect mushrooms and berries. In addition, here you can craft weapons and equipment, build a house, and so on. Also, armor and means of turning opponents into cold corpses are constantly worn out, and they need to be restored;
- Action. There are many opponents, they are very diverse, and they also attack from nowhere. In addition, the game has bosses that you need to deal with in the company of your clan friends.
In general, Grim Soul: Dark Fantasy Survival has collected a little bit of gameplay elements from everywhere and mixed them into one relatively large project. And here you can have your own Roach and the Ghost. Well, more precisely, your horse and direwolf, and then call it what you want. On a horse, you can travel the world and fight your way through crowds of evil, and a huge aggressive predator will help you effectively deal with enemies.
Multiplayer and Donate in Grim Soul: Dark Fantasy Survival
By itself, Grim Soul: Dark Fantasy Survival is focused exclusively on multiplayer mode. It's an MMORPG! Players can wander the local world in splendid isolation, they can unite into clans (which the project itself gently pushes from time to time) and come into conflict with other characters on the map.
For those who do not want to join either clans or conflicts, Grim Soul: Dark Fantasy Survival offers PvE quests. True, some especially large bosses can only be defeated as part of a clan. Well, or hanging around with purchased rare swords.
Donut is also here, because the developers also want to eat. Fortunately, it is not too intrusive, and it is still possible to spend a couple of months in the game without ever taking out a credit card.
