One particular tune features jangling western-style steel guitar and plaintive horns that recall the old west. Some pieces bring to mind traditional fantasy, while others are much more avante garde. And all the blood is backed by a bleak Lovecraftian plot, making for a compelling blend of horror and fantasy.Ī phenomenal musical score provides superb accompaniment to all of these scenes. Guts and gore are the hallmarks of Grim Dawn, which more than lives up to its name. Wander into a half-destroyed house and you’ll find evidence of lives interrupted, represented in fantastic detail. Bodies can be found piled into wagons as if the Black Death had just swept the land. Maps are all spectacularly bleak-corpses, guts, and gore are everywhere. Lovecraft would see fit to call "home," which blends horror and fantasy in nearly equal measure. Much of its appeal lies in the forbidding realm of Cairn a world H.P. The developers at Crate Entertainment have ticked off all the boxes that hack-and-slash fans want, and as one of those fans, I was reminded of countless experiences from the past, but there's more to Grim Dawn than old tricks. Grim Dawn is a fast-paced, gory, and loot-filled action RPG that deserves a spot among the greats of the genre.
