About the Game

THE ARCHMAGE IS DEAD.

THE GRIMWAR IS FREE.

MANA IS FLEETING.

GRIMWAR is a fast-paced platform shooter with an emphasis on movement, playstyle customization, and low-poly graphics. 

You are the THAUMATURGE, a spellcaster trapped in the ancient and feared GRIMWAR. When the Archmage succumbs to the power of the tomb, you are freed, only to find yourself trapped within his dark tower.

Using an arsenal of deadly spells strewn across twisting passages, you must escape the tower and defeat the GRIMWAR -- fighting your way through waves of enemies and wall-running across obstacles. 

  • Use 4 Different Spells to traverse the tower, with each featuring 2 unique casting options.

  • Fight your way through 4 Different Enemies, and their variations throughout.

  • Jump, Slide, and Wall-Run across challenging platforms.

  • Explore 3 Different Levels of the tower

  • Test your skills in the never-ending Arena mode, with 3 unique maps.
