Grimguard Tactics, the dark fantasy tactical RPG, is receiving its first major update, introducing a thrilling new character and exciting gameplay features! Arriving later today, the Acolyte—a cunning zealot—will significantly alter your strategic options. For those unfamiliar with the game, our review provides a comprehensive overview. This update offers much more than just a new character.

The Acolyte, wielding a hand scythe, employs a unique combat style: harnessing the blood of enemies to both heal and control them. A dedicated event, featuring an exclusive dungeon and special missions, allows players to fully explore the Acolyte's capabilities and acquire unique items from the in-game shop.

Adding another layer of strategic depth is the new Trinket system. Craft these enhancements at the Forge using various materials to significantly boost your heroes' power and open up new tactical possibilities. The Trinkets, alongside the Acolyte, provide fresh ways to optimize your team for the challenging encounters ahead.

The light fades

Grimguard Tactics shares a noticeable aesthetic similarity with Darkest Dungeon, a comparison that doesn't detract from its appeal. The addition of a Trinket system, a familiar yet effective mechanic in many RPGs, provides a convenient way to utilize crafting materials and dramatically enhance your heroes' abilities—a necessity for survival in the grim world of Terenos.
