Let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves here though, from this description the game screams RPG, but believe you me this is a straight-up RTS in the truest sense of the word. There are a total of three grimoires for each set of magic running the total number of books to twelve and as you progress you will find new spells that can be unlocked in the books you already possess, confused yet? Collecting these books is pivotal as you progress through the game as it uses the traditional rock, paper, scissors school of magic where one bests the other and so on and so forth.

Of course who could blame him it seems the Archmage was offed by the headmaster years ago and to return the favor he decides to take out everyone in the school, everyone that is except you.įrom here you will begin a sort of Groundhog Day series of events where you will relive the previous four days over and over collecting grimoires (books that contain for the four types of magic) thus leveling up to the point where she can finally defeat the head villain. On the fifth day all hell breaks loose when a rogue sorcerer releases the spirit of Archmage of Fear and he is bent on revenge. Your first four days at the school are spent learning the basic rules of magic such as Necromancy, Sorcery, Alchemy, and Glamour.

Even with these similarities it isn’t hard to distinguish the two once you begin playing and realize how the story unfolds, which is far and away one of the game’s best attributes. As you can imagine the comparisons between this story and a certain Hogwarts student are common, the school is even run by a gray-bearded professor named Gammel Dore. You assume the role of Lillet Blan on your first day at a wondrous school of magic. The story of GrimGrimoire is a peculiar one. That’s right ladies and gents this game is a real-time strategy and a damn fine one at that.

While Odin Sphere is an homage to classic side scrolling action titles GrimGrimoire has more in common with StarCraft than Contra. Much to my surprise while the game shares a lot in common with the aforementioned title such as crisp 2D visuals and spot-on game play this is where the similarities end.

After playing Vanillaware’s previous PS2 effort Odin Sphere I would be lying if I said I wasn’t just as stoked to jump into their next title.
