Grim Trials

Grim Trials is an action roguelite set in an underworld academy for Death’s Reapers. Players control Avelin, a young woman recruited as a Reaper after her death, who must fight through endless hex-grid arenas filled with monsters, traps and sinful souls, culminating in encounters with seven bosses. Combat centres on a dual-wielding system combining scythes and crossbows, alongside Blessings granted by various Gods of Death.

Equipment and materials gathered during runs can be brought back to mentors at the Academy, where they are used to craft new weapons, armour and consumables. Each run begins with choices from an expansive skill tree, which can be combined with randomised mid-run Blessings to shape different builds. Progress made during a run, including experience and materials, carries over even when Avelin falls in battle.

Outside combat, players can explore the Academy, interact with its inhabitants, undertake quests to build relationships with mentors, and learn more about the setting’s characters and their backstories.
