User Reviews

Players praise Grim Tides for its old-school RPG vibe, turn-based combat, rich lore, offline play, and strong art. Recurrent negatives focus on monetization with ads after purchase, occasional bugs and balance concerns, accessibility/UI issues, and save-data transfers. Overall, the game is loved for atmosphere and depth, with some reliability and QoL issues noted across reviews.
Pros
  • Nostalgic old-school RPG vibe with solid turn-based combat and deep strategic depth
  • Rich story and lore with well-written world-building
  • Excellent offline playability (no internet required; good for travel)
  • High-quality art and writing with strong production values
  • Great variety of builds and character customization, boosting replayability
Cons
  • Monetization concerns: ads or paywalls after purchase can intrude on the experience
  • Bugs and balancing issues, including early-dungeon difficulty spikes and a Battle Academy bug
  • Accessibility/UI problems for screen readers (VoiceOver) and navigation
  • Save data loss when moving to a new device or reinstalling
  • Crafting/loot progression can feel limited and inventory management can be tedious

What a cool ambush game with a bit of fun and rpg in it 👎🏼

Lots of fun and definitely a challenge if you don’t tweak the settings or buy the support packs. I’ve been enjoying it both ways:) Note to the developer: Reading all these clowns complain about having to to pay was quite entertaining. Why are they mad that they didn’t read there what they were buying. I think you made a smart choice with the free with ads or pay once for no ads model! Keep up the good work:)
