Version 1.2.0.... Whoa!
Hi there, would you believe I wasn’t even online but logged onto the AppStore just to leave this review....? Because I’m a firm believer in giving credit where it’s due and having only started playing GrimValor about a month ago, I must admit I couldn’t see what all the fuss was about—standard side-scrolling hack ‘n slash with sound FX seeming to consist primarily of “Cling-clang-clang-cling-clang” from all the endless sword-swinging. Boy, am I glad I didn’t quit and/or delete the app during those early days! Once you start leveling up, gaining new weapons and abilities...more strength, speed, then the controls start feeling so much fluid, responsive, and intuitive. I mean, I think it’s kinda cool how you might target an NPC but end up attacking others offscreen because they posed a bigger threat. Nice touch. But after investing so many hours into it because I don’t usually play in a linear fashion but prefer working from region to region, exploring every area nook and cranny committed to 100% completion, so once I got to the end of the story mode, I was quite let down to find there wasn’t an option to carry on. The only way to resume the game was to return to an earlier save. Which just seemed very anticlimactic. After all, why did I just spend weeks playing and replaying areas, sometimes four or five times in a row, just so I could level up—several times—and then go back to an earlier area only to embarrass the NPCs who bullied me the last time I was there...? Sooo, ‘overjoyed’ doesn’t even begin to describe the elation I felt when—yeah, I know it’s only a game!—but when I updated GrimValor the night before last, and saw there was an option to start the game over but with all your upgrades in tow.... Man, so far I’m up to the third region and the first two are already at 100% because with the introduction of new weapons and trinkets, and all the rest, you don’t wanna miss a thing so you just explore, explore, explore. Love it! Oh, and the way you’ve enhanced the Nexus trading system is a definite improvement too! Anyhow, that’s about as much rant as I’ve got in me for the moment. Lol. I really just wanted to say “Great job, guys !!” You’ve somehow managed to breath new into life into a title that was nowhere near its expiry date anyways, so I can’t wait to see what future updates you guys have in store for us. All the best and I wish you every success! Kind regards, Rusty#Barrz
