Buy The Black Grimoire: Cursebreaker PC key

The Black Grimoire: Cursebreaker is a singleplayer medieval fantasy adventure in which you play Lord Rothar Aercrest, former ruler of the remote woodlands of Imberthale. After crossing paths with the powerful, malicious dark wizard Gabrius, Rothar becomes caught in a mortal feud between two wielders of magic and is bound by a curse he must break. To find peace, Rothar must kill Gabrius, whose mastery of the Black Grimoire makes death little more than a nuisance. The story focuses on human pettiness, revenge and greed rather than a chosen hero saving the world.

Explore Imberthale

You travel through a large open world of towns, taverns, remote corners and varied monsters. Dialogue-filled NPCs and quests with detailed writing help unfold the story, while exploration can lead to powerful items to craft, loot or earn as rewards. You can also customize a player house where you can rest.

Develop your skills

Progress is tied to 12 skills, and in-game interactions generally grant experience in the relevant ones. Higher levels unlock interactions, abilities and crafting options. For example, fighting at close quarters advances Attack and Defence; these skills can unlock passive and activated abilities, access to more advanced weapons and armour, and new traits taught by trainers.

The skills are Attack, Defence, Archery, Sorcery, Smithing, Crafting, Tailoring, Alchemy, Mining, Woodsmanship, Fishing and Cooking. Woodsmanship gained by felling trees provides materials for items such as bows, and can help you pass obstacles or explore faster. Alchemy unlocks potions as well as bombs and poisons.

Fight and craft

Combat supports combinations of ranged and melee weapons and spells. The spellbook includes combat spells and non-combat utility magic; finding and learning spells can be challenging, and demanding spells may require preparation, such as gathering specific ingredients. You can also unlock special attacks and spells to help fight the monsters in the world's remote areas.

Crafting and harvesting skills offer their own bonuses and options. You can make powerful items and gather materials as you develop these skills.

Social multiplayer

Although the game is singleplayer, an optional social multiplayer mode lets you see other adventurers online. Interactions are limited to chatting and inspecting equipment; trading and other gameplay-related interactions are not available. You can set online play to big cities only, keep it on everywhere, or play fully offline.
