Grim Trials

Grim Trials is a heavy metal action roguelite about Avelin, a young woman who dies before her time and is recruited as one of Death’s Reapers. She must hunt impure souls, face her demons and endure trials in an underworld of her own making to become a full-fledged Reaper and see her still-living love again.

Fight through the trials

You battle through endless hex-grid arenas filled with monsters, traps and sinful souls, facing seven sacrilegious bosses. A unique combat system rewards clever use of dual-wielded scythes and crossbows to maximize damage. You can customize these weapons and draw powerful Blessings from the Gods of Death around the world.

Craft your equipment

Battle spoils provide materials for crafting weapons, armor and consumables. You work with mentors in the arcane arts to make more powerful equipment, then combine it with skills gained by investing in an expansive skill tree at the start of each run. During a run, you choose from randomized Blessings to shape your build.

Life at the Academy

The Academy trains and equips Death’s Reapers. You can seek guidance from mentors, take on quests to build relationships, and learn the stories of the dead by interacting with the Academy’s denizens. These relationships can unlock advice, knowledge and support from your peers.

Return after each fall

When Avelin falls in battle, the experience and materials earned remain with her. You live, fight and die again, using what you have gained to keep pursuing the promise that will reunite her with her love.
