Grim Nights 2 – Realms
A world will be generated. It will contain vast oceans, snow covered mountains and bare deserts. It will be inhabited by different cultures, brutal pirates, noble intellectuals and everything in between. They will all have one thing in common: the struggle to survive in a world overrun by the the undead…
This is a sequel to the game Grim Nights. However, many things will be very different. This game will focus less on tower defense and much more on your villagers and the management of your growing settlement. Villagers will have different skills, backgrounds and relationships. They will eat, sleep, fight and work. Sometimes they will be obedient and other times the grim world will break them and force them to turn on eachother.
PS: The game is very much in development, so this description and the screenshots reflects that.

This is actually kind of fun once certain things are figured out. The tutorial is useless and teaches you nothing. There is nothing to tell you what's going on or how to deal with it. So if you enjoy failing over and over this is the game for you.

This game could be a masterpiece. I really enjoyed all the good things about this game. But the bad finally took over at the end. I would give it a 10/10 if it we not for the bugs. Not just small ones.
I can start by stating the positives aspects of the game.
First of all, this game has a lot of things I look for into a game, It is in the medieval/fantasy, which is my favourite type of world scenarios. I like creating, mining, exploring, managing, upgrading my people and farming. This game has all of it. It even got a great skills and researching system. The enemies are cool to go against and there is a good variety that you can go against. You can cheese them if you want to, but I like a more frontal approach.
I played two games from which in the first one I have learn to go around small bugs that affects little of the gameplay. Then I restarted hoping that I learned enough to play a full game. I truly thought I did...
Here comes the bads...
THE BUGS!!!!, the only thing that this game has that I dislike is the BUGS, not the ant type. I had a medium amount of small bug during my playthrough.
1. Characters just unable to move(Reloading repairs it)
2. Storage capacity full but nothing is in it.(Reloading repairs it)
3. Task not getting done or character not able to complete it. (Cancelling task and redoing it repairs it)
4. Animal disappearing after taming(Might not be a bug, but it should have a event message saying it fled)
5. I was building a balcony and saw that I place the door in the wrong place, ended up removing the door while my dude was on the balcony. I made a new task to make a door but I could not force someone to make the door, I have tried multiple it was not a skill issue from my characters. But I ended up doing it after someone went there on its own.
6.Here is the game breaking one, I prepared myself for a big travel plan with like 5 cart, all my best dude and all my good animals. I was finally ready to go. I start the travel. Then I do my things for a while then I see a message "Your bunny is starving", I click on the message and it brings me to the edge of the map where all my animals are standing. Those were supposed to go with the caravan. They did not. The caravan is stuck in the '" Leaving the area" Phase, which now I can not cancel or bring everyone back because it has not started yet... Tried reloading and restarting my game hoping it would fix it somehow, but no...
I am giving the game a 8/10, because I am looking forward with this developer. He has great ideas, great execution, it just seems he need a little more time figuring those bugs. I would be happy to play again.
The dev already gave up on this little project, which is kinda disappointing, since this is a gem. But it is his choice. I respect that.
PS I bought the game just to make a review(I played it via family sharing). Also, we gotta support small devs that have great ideas like this.

Its basically 'Craft the World' on crack, BUT a lot deeper...and the minions actually listen! So far this game has been a lot of fun, the only thing its missing is a wiki fandom page explaining how everything works...Trying to figure things out can be time consuming when saving and reloading. Tip: turn off the autosave in options, if the autosave decides to kick in after youve lost half your men...ouch.
Thanking the 1 dev for all his hard work, AMAZING!

I've really been enjoying this title. I wish that it had some quality of life improvements in the future, but honestly this was very reasonably priced and I've got my moneys worth and then plenty.

+ cool dev, chill game, a lot of potential, a lightweight colony management game, suitable for those who just want to chill and dont think too much. real life is hard already.
- not enough content, pretty disappointed when the dev suddenly release the 1.0v
conclusion:
it feels more like a minigame than fully developed game.
still gonna thumbs up because the dev is cool and making videogame is hard.

Give this game a chance. Grim realms is a gem. Start by auto generating a world, taking a look at it, picking a place/biom to start the game on the world map, can even hand create the cultures for your run and your faction members.
Start in the world as a lone veteran(my fav) or a group of 4. Build your kingdom. The larger it gets, the more people that come, the larger groups of undead and bandits youll get the attention of. This game feels like nostalgia but with modern additions to systems. if this game came out back in the day it would have been legend. so, play it and find out that it still is. truly worth checking out, made by a single dev who is an awesome guy and givers personal feedback. Dont have to build a kingdom though, wander the lancs from settlement to settlement, either peacful villages, taders,, light zealots, undead or necromances , Wander the land taking what you can to survive, build a boat, voyage to a diffferent continent. This game is great. Highly recomened.
