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.

2026-08-10	Da*****	I was not expecting much, and was greatly surprised! I've tried turn based RPG games on the phone before and have always been let down. This one is great. The randomness of the encounters, loot, dungeons in general, makes it interesting and unique to play. It's challenging without being impossible, and the story is interesting.
