### 5/5 — top

### 5/5 — Good game; fun mechanics; multiple builds possible

*2026-06-11*

Had fun playing this game after having completed the prior two in the series.

I found the game mechanics fun to work with and optimize within my character’s “build.”  And it seems there is opportunity to play with two other quite different builds.

If you like RPGs in general and want a game that you can play either [almost] as little at a time or as long at a time as you want, this is a winner for mobile for sure.  The game’s mechanics were even better than the prior two games, but that’s more personal than universal.  Many people enjoy the others as their favorite of the three.

There are ads, but pretty minimal compared to most mobile games.  To be clear, you play one ad for each dungeon level you complete.  Except for after beating [what might be] the final boss, then there were 4-5, but actually not ads, just tabs that pop up and can be closed right away.

Highly recommended.

### 4/5 — Minor bug report

*2026-06-03*

This isn’t to rate the game, as I haven’t had the time to properly play it yet. Just wanted to inform you of a bug. I started the game, bought myself a dagger, a skill, and a spell. 

But then I had to stop playing and closed the app. When I opened it again, I had no dagger anymore, but also only the 100 gold I had after buying the dagger and skills.

### 5/5 — Very well done

*2026-04-30*

This is great hub-based dungeon crawl, no stupid stamina system!  Even the ads are totally non-intrusive.  They put the player first in this one and other FTP games should take note!  A+

### 5/5 — Melhor jogo de RPG Solo da Store!

*2026-04-24*

Estou impressionado com todo o cuidado, atenção e dedicação. De verdade, melhor jogo da Store para acompanhar nos momentos de descanso. Não parei de jogar um só momento. Claro que já comecei no permadeath e sem ajuda no mapa, para ficar emocionante

### 5/5 — Another Banger!

*2026-04-21*

Omens feels like a natural progression  and great addition for the Grim series of games! I hope we see further exploration with choice based narrative as the build to the finale in this game was made all the better by true choice, but I know that is a tall order for one writer. Keep exploring and keep growing! The gameplay and narrative blend well and the grind is paced in line with the story and the overall progression. Also, love how the journal and notes section becomes more robust and detailed with each new chapter in the Grim series!

### 4/5 — Engaging!

*2026-04-18*

Love the difficulty settings, Although I have to do 4S, I was under the impression that we could change the dungeon size with the other settings, now my maps are too small to be a challenge and there is no benefit for harder setting

### 5/5 — Suggestions

*2026-04-11*

Hello Developers

I have a suggestion to add a battery saving feature to phones.

+ I think the developers should implement this feature for Grim Tides, Grim Quest, and Grim Omens.

I have a suggestion to improve the Vietnamese translation for Grim Tides, Grim Quest, and Grim Omens.

I have a suggestion to add an auto-battle feature for Grim Tides, Grim Quest, and Grim Omens.

I have a suggestion to add an automatic quest completion feature.

I have a suggestion to add a Pet feature to Grim Tides.

I have a suggestion to add new Classes to Grim Tides and Grim Quest.
+ Suggested new Classes include:
Bowman
Spearman
Gunner (For Grim Tides)
Summoner
Necromancer
Beast Tamer

I have a suggestion to add a new game version with a theme based on Asian regions such as Japan and China.

I hope the developers will continue to update Grim Tides, Grim Quest, Grim Omens, Grim Omens. These are great games that I spend hours playing.
