Would I recommend Secrets of Grindea? Yes, BUT only to certain players. Secrets of Grindea is a strange game to review because it is not bad, but it is also not as good as it could have been. It has many genuinely fun parts, but also some painful design choices that made me question whether I should recommend it at all. In the end, I do recommend it, but with some strong warnings. The combat system is fun at its core. The game has satisfying attacks, active skills, spells, dodging, blocking, summons, buffs, and enough mechanical depth to make fights feel engaging. The passive skill tree is also well made and has some genuinely good ideas. Exploration, puzzles, treasure hunting, dialogue, side content, monsters, level design, music, and the overall charm of the world are also strong points. The game has a cozy old school ARPG feeling, and when it works, it really works. However, the balance is awful. The game gives you many active skills and build options, but a lot of it feels like an illusion of choice. Only a handful of spells and active skills actually stay useful later in the game, and many builds become painful or outright bad. I played a warrior/melee build, and while it was fun early on, it felt like one of the worst ways to play the game later. The game slowly turns into a bullet hell simulator, and pure melee becomes miserable. Boss fights often turned into waiting forever for a tiny opening, getting a few hits in, then dodging for several minutes again. Some fights dragged on for 20 min or more, and by the end I had to rely on specific potions and summons just to get through it. If you enjoy summoner builds, you will probably have a much better time. Summons let you stay back, avoid most of the bullet hell chaos, and rebuff occasionally. Almost every other style, especially melee, feels much worse. Warrior gameplay also becomes exhausting because you constantly have to dodge, attack, heal, buff, rebuff, manage cooldowns, and avoid projectiles all at once. It starts feeling less like an ARPG and more like playing the keyboard like a piano. I think buffs should have lasted longer, cost more, and taken longer to recharge. That would have made the gameplay feel more deliberate instead of turning every fight into constant key management. The game also has way too much grinding. Getting all achievements and cards felt faster than getting some basic monster drops, which makes no sense. Some drop rates are ridiculously overtuned, and you can spend one or two hours farming a useless item just for completion. I understand rare cards being rare, but random monster drops being even more annoying to get just feels stupid. The game could probably be completed with "100% Completionist achievement" much faster and feel much better if the pointless item grind was reduced. The art is also inconsistent. I like the atmosphere, the environments, the monster design, and most of the pixel art. The world is charming and fun to explore. But some character portraits look awkward, ugly, or badly proportioned, and they can pull you out of the experience when they appear on screen. It is not enough to ruin the game, but it is noticeable. Overall, Secrets of Grindea has a great foundation. The vision is genuinely good, and there is a lot of charm here. But the balance, grind, and build design hold it back hard. I would recommend it if you like old school ARPGs, pixel art, exploration, puzzles, completionist content, and especially summoner style gameplay. I would not recommend it if you hate grinding, want every build to feel equally viable, or plan to play pure melee and fully complete the game. It is a fun but flawed ARPG. Not amazing, not terrible. Just very mid, with some really good parts and some really annoying ones. Score: 7/10

Such an underrated game. This is such a charming action RPG that pays homage to classic 16 bit era games while carving out its own identity with a great storyline, co-op gameplay, and a surprising amount of depth. The combat system is great, offering a great mix of melee/magic/ranged etc - it really allows you to experiment. The world is whimsical. My partner and I have put in many hours. Some of the boss fights are INTENSE. Overall Score: 9/10 - super nostalgic and so fun

Absolutely phenomenal game. Great in both single and multi-player and "arcade" mode is super fun as well (with a whole different village to develop and upgrade!) Pacing is really good and you unlock more content as you progress. Well-written, funny, fantastic gameplay loop. Flexible builds with a bunch of mix and match skills (I favor a summoning build to fit my preferred playstyle, but I did a fast attack with status effects build and that was fun too.) Respeccing is easy and cheap.
