Grim Realms

Grim Realms is a settlement-management game set in a generated world overrun by the undead. You guide a growing faction of people as they explore, gather resources, develop their skills and defend their settlement. The world ranges from bare deserts to snow-covered mountains.

Your people

Recruit blacksmiths, brutal pirates, noble intellectuals and others. Each person has a unique portrait, background and culture, as well as individual skills and abilities. They develop and age as seasons change and years pass; some may become expert miners, great counsellors or master blacksmiths.

You manage their needs, set their priorities and equip them for work or war. They eat, sleep, socialize, create art and fight, but may leave the faction if pushed too hard. They might later return as a friendly visitor or lead an attack against you.

Build and defend

Defend your settlement from undead hordes, bandits, large raiding parties and necromancers. You can mine for riches deep underground, discover ancient shrines and powerful magic, and craft a wide range of weapons, armor and clothes from different materials.

Grow crops to harvest for food and medicine, and hunt animals or tame them for milk and fur. Research options range from longbows to muskets and grenades.

Magic and trade

You can practice necromancy, raise the dead to work for you and defend your faction from paladins. Alternatively, harness the powers of light and try to banish the undead for good. Visiting merchants can be traded with, persuaded to join your settlement or plundered.

Explore the world

Create caravans and travel by land or sea to discover new locations and establish settlements. Grim Realms focuses on its villagers and managing a growing settlement, with less emphasis on tower defense.
