About the Game

GrimHold is a turn-based roguelite tactics game inspired by European folklore. Develop your lands, train your soldiers, and strengthen your immortal heroes. Lead your forces into battle against overwhelming enemies in campaigns where every decision has lasting consequences.

The Emperor has conquered the world. His immortal armies have centuries of patience.

You have one fortress. A handful of heroes. And the stubborn, foolish, glorious refusal to die.

Every battle brings you one step closer to the Emperor.

Command anthropomorphic heroes inspired by European folklore, each with a unique playstyle. Choose your champion for every campaign! Rally your men with Flemish the Lion, outpace and electrify the enemy with Reus the White Hare, harass your foes with Reynaert the Fox, or stand tall with Mathair the Bear.

Develop the regions surrounding GrimHold to unlock new opportunities for your campaign. The buildings you construct shape the battlefields you'll fight on, making every decision affect future battles. Every campaign begins with a different realm layout, encouraging new approaches each run. 

  • Roguelite Progression: Lose the campaign, not your progress. Your immortal heroes retain their level between campaigns, and completing challenges unlocks permanent upgrades called Fates. 

  • Unique Heroes: Command immortal anthropomorphic heroes inspired by European folklore. Each hero offers a distinct playstyle. 

  • Hybrid Unit Builds: Cross-spec your units with two randomly assigned specialization trees. Choose abilities from either tree as your units level up to create unique tactical builds. In addition to their ability trees, units can also gain unique talents, enabling deeper specialization and powerful build synergies.

  • Permadeath: Your Aegis return after defeat, but your other units do not. Fallen soldiers are lost for the rest of the campaign. 

  • Overworld Flow: Advance across the realm one day at a time. Manage your army’s composition, prepare for daily assaults, develop your regions and make difficult decisions to gain advantages for the final defense.

  • Enemy Generals: The siege unfolds across three escalating phases, each ending with an enemy general. Each general strengthens the invading army with unique army-wide effects and battle tactics, forcing you to constantly adapt before facing the Emperor.
