Review summary

Grim Tides is praised for its accessible turn-based RPG feel, engaging story, and strong developer support with good replay value and offline play. Major drawbacks cited are intrusive ads and visuals that some players find lacking, plus occasional bugs and a call for overall refinement. Overall, a charming, easy-to-pick-up RPG with room for polish.

Pros

Easy to learn with simple, intuitive mechanics.
Strong old-school RPG vibe with a compelling, readable story and unique art/music.
High replayability and depth.
Good developer support and responsive updates.
Offline play with minimal monetization (no pay-to-win).

Cons

Intrusive, frequent ads that disrupt gameplay.
Graphics/visuals could be more polished or refined.
Occasional bugs or quality issues (e.g., spell glitches) and a desire for broader refinement.

2026-07-28	Lo*****	A great story in a fantasy world, amazing artwork to give depth to the story, character progression to aim for, choices to control your own destiny, and minimal ads. Absolutely absorbing game

2026-07-26	Dr*****	I'm suggesting you do a revisit for the spells and skills in this game. I noticed the effect of stunning doesn't stay until my turn. so a skill like "stun expretise" doesn't do what its intended job is. I combined it with the "disintegrate essence" in fact which feels awesome to do. but then it will be cool to find all the skills available to be worth playing.

2026-07-21	Om*****	fun game with simple dungeon crawls. you will need to buy the 4 dollar upgrade to remove ads if you intend to play seriously as significant rewards are for normal gameplay are locked behind ads, but that is a MORE than fair price for the game.

2026-07-15	St*****	Seems like a fun game overall but they the amount of coins that they give you or for that matter don't is kind of annoying trying to keep enough coins to buy equipment and potions and things that you need to survive is a lot easier said than done

2026-07-13	St*****	Grim Tides is a great little rpg to take on a long trip if you've forgotten your other portable consoles or are primarily a mobile gamer in general. There is a decent amount of build crafting, between stats, items, skills/spells, and perks, too. The story is pretty good as well. The weakest part, realistically, is the actual dungeon crawling but I think more of an issue of being on mobile than it is this game. 4/5 for me, always coming back every few months.
