Not sure why, but sound effects only come through the left ear for me and no one else seems to be having this issue. Music is fine, other games or apps are fine, but every sound effect is strictly on the left ear.
Had this game since 2017, it's awesome how far this game has come along and is finally finished. Couldn't recommend it enough.
Game turns into a bullet hell. I do not like bullet hell, that's why I'm playing an ARPG. True ending boss would fit better in a shmup game.
Feels like a bait and switch to play, a complete genre shift.
Just not fun at the end.
Unfortunately can't refund when I was one of the earliest backers after this was greenlit in 2012 and watched/played all the updates over the years. Over a decade of anticipation for a genre shift bait and switch.
Great game. You can spend lots of time having fun grinding as per what the name suggests.
This game will swear to you that it's a puzzle game. It's not. Puzzles require thinking. There is no thought required for anything here, other than some literal math puzzles. Every puzzle is either insanely simple, or not actually a puzzle. Instead, most of the "puzzles" are reaction timed obstacle courses. And the dev is obsessed with everything being frame-perfect nonsense. You get more frames to parry in most souls games than you get to perform tasks that you have to get perfectly correct in a long sequence or start all the way over, in multiple places. There is never enough annoyance in the mechanics of these obstacle courses for the dev. You'll already be irritated trying to be perfect a dozen times in a row, and they'll add in some new BS part way through the "puzzle" just to make it more annoying.
The combat is barely passable. The perks you get from level ups are the type where they think 1% extra is good enough for a whole level. The graphics have a certain amount of charm and the sound track isn't offensive, but this game manages to piss me off every time I play it because I absolutely did not want or expect timing-based obstacle courses based on the store page.
If you're a masochist that thinks being frame-perfect is the only way to have fun, and you don't mind a fairly childish story, then by all means, go for it. If you're not, this is a waste of time and money.
It is definitely my GOTY!!! I played this game with people who I hold dear in my heart. <3 This game will forever be special!
It perfectly captures the nostalgic feel! I love the music and the gorgeous pixel art! The grind feels satisfying and rewarding! I'm so glad I got to play this game this year. The game took several years to finish but it is so worth it!
(There's one quest with a RPDR reference in there! It caught me off guard! I love it! Vanjie! Vaaanjie!)
Every time i start a new save to try out new content i spend like an hour in the first area, the core combat loop is just so good I could spend days just fighting slimes and rabbys. It's always so good to see a game that's been slowly being worked on for years not be abandoned.
After waiting 9 years the early access it is finally done, really doubted if it will but at last.
Good game if you are looking for a nostalgic RPG to play.
I completed the main game but not motivated enough to play the other modes.
Fun combat, Cool leveling system, Nice pixel art, Great animation, Pretty terrible portrait art, and a pretty decent story.
Took forever for the devs to finish making the game but they did it, and it was worth every single year and worth every dollar.
The difficulty is in the game's title. It's definitely a fun game to play on controller.
Fantastic Game. It has 2 main modes (story and rogue like). The online co-op is very well optimized and playing with people in other countries does not add latency issues. I recommend story solo and online for the rogue like part. The game's story has a great flow and you will not be disappointed. Warning it lives up to the "Grind" part of it's name achievement wise.
Grindea is a fantastic co-op experience. My girlfriend was the one who roped me into an adventure I wasn't prepared for. The story is interesting but doesn't take itself too seriously. Read the dialogue on this one, guys. There's a part where you travel back in time and one of the major characters in the quest-line is named TAI MING (TIMING).
As for the gameplay, it is VERY solid. The class building is simple but it's oh so perfect. This, to me is a very strong co-op title and takes me back to the good old days of couch co-op with friends. Now, I am running a support mage build. GF swings her sword at all the things while I give her and myself buffs. I also have a jumbo ball of death I descend from the skies that one shots almost everything (after using a LOT of skill points).
The enemies and enemy variations keep the game very fresh and the animations and models are butter slick. Bosses are difficult but fair in a co-op setting. I cannot speak for those playing solo.
10/10 game.
Please add more mod support, the ability to heal your friends, and more items in the shops in town.
Wish it had mouse functionality but otherwise its great, very nostalgia feel if you've played iRO / zelda series
I've wish listed this game back in 2015 when it was in Early Access and I always kept an eye on its development. Fast forward in 2023, I bought the game and honestly, it is one of the best hidden gems I've ever played.
Pros:
- Surprisingly lengthy and meaningful story line
- Great regions to explore and learn more about
- Engaging and challenging boss battles (plenty of them)
- Very controller and mouse friendly
- Various RPG mechanics and abilities for your character
- A wide selection of equipment, collectibles and accessories
- Fun activities such as fishing and other survival skills
- Interesting characters and a dynamic world that is constantly being updated as you progress
- Never tried it, but the co-op mode is a big plus for a game like this that I never expected it to have
Cons:
- Some times the boss battles can be too lengthy and intentionally hard. Some boss battles are back to back, but once you play the game you will understand why. This is more of a subjective take.
- There were some bugs at some areas, but since then they have been patched with the full release of the game
- Some quests can feel redundant, however it is a common occurrence in the genre. Again, a very subjective case, however, the game does a good job with the quests compared to other games of its kind. So it is barely even a con I would say.
Overall score: 9.5/10. I wish I got the game earlier, but I am glad I bought and played the game close to its full release, where I got to see the content in full scale. Whether you are new to the genre or coming from a AAA background, this game is a very unique, hidden gem that exceeds expectations and redefines the classic pixel 2D RPG genre.
Really reminds me of a lot of 90s JRPGs on Super Nintendo. The art style is really good, and the gameplay is excellent. The story although corny at times is well written.
great game that has come a long way over the years make sure to grab a friend to play with it will make it a lot more fun
Been playing the beta for years, and with the full game being released, I can say the developers have made a great game, in both story and gameplay
great, just buy it and play the story in co-op mode
After so many years, it's great to play this game and its rich systems. Definitely recommended with a controller/Steam Deck.
please, for the love of everything -- PLAY THIS GAME
I'm such a hardcore fan of The Legend of Zelda games and this feels like I'm back in my childhood re-experiencing them for the first time! Fun combat, Entertaining story. Its fucking great! Don't let my comparison ruin this game, though -- its something you need to experience for yourself.
just give it a try -- you wont regret it!
Started playing this game in beta 5 years ago. Played this game solo and coop. A lot of cool build and items to farm. Music is awesome. Gameplay is really great. Story mode is good, and when you finish story you can do arcade mode that is also pretty good. I would 100% recommend this game. Coop is always better expirience!
Okay, so the game is about grinding, if you didn't guess that by the name alone then it's completely your fault, if you are into that then play it, it's pretty fun.
Ein sehr schönes, amüsantes Spiel, welches man entweder innnerhalb von 20 Stunden durchgespielt hat, oder mehrere Wochen alle Erfolge grindet
Müsst ihr wissen

I first tried this game 10 years ago, when the early access first came out. I'd check on it now and then and would joke with a friend that I thought the game would never come out after so long. Oh boy, was it worth the wait. Each and every detail in this game shows how it was a project of love. The tongue-in-cheek humor, the fun combat, the beautiful graphics, and the clever plot. Everything comes together wonderfully. There's even a "true ending" to be achieved! I played the whole thing coop with my friend and it was seamless. I'd like to congratulate the developers and I will happily wait another 10 years for their next game.
I always forget how much fun this game was. I'm ashamed I didn't recommend it long ago. Now that its 1.0+, definitely pick this up with a friend for some co-op adventure. At least 20+ hours of enjoyment out of this one.
Surprised at how good this game is to be honest. This was my earliest wish list item on steam and I had been waiting for early access to finish. Seeing it at just $15 made it an easy choice and I love this game. The humor is on point, the game itself is clever and engaging. Easy recommend to anyone that enjoys top down action rpgs with plenty of content.
Had a lot of fun with this game. Many different environments to explore with a multitude of unique details pertaining to each of them. Sound track is pretty solid with the occasional banger here and there. Combat is awesome with an insane skill tree that allows you to customize your gameplay to how you want to play. The boss fights in the first half of the game are relatively straight forward but don't be fooled, the bosses towards the end of the game will kick your ass... then keep kicking your ass.
Only negative I would give this game is that some of the character sprites for the dialog boxes can look really cheap. Not all of them but some. A good example of this is literally 15 minutes into the game when you run into this group of two dudes and a woman. The woman's sprite looks fine but the two dudes sprites are just these vanilla duplicates of each other with different hair. It's just a little unbelievable to have something cheap like that i the opening act of the game when you're trying to hook the player in. Don't let this deter you though, the rest of this game is a blast.
8.6/10
Great game that captures the classic feel. Many references that will tickle that ol' funny bone and thrilling combat and crafting. Best of luck collector!
Great fun! It pokes at classic games of this genre and has several moments that caught me off guard from a story perspective. There a few moments that I thought were quite inspired, and characters that were memorable and fun to see their arc.
The art style is cartoonish yet beautiful, and the animations and music are enchanting. Every environment is distinct in flavor. The overall tone is rather goofy, but there's hidden pools of depth and emotion if you go looking. It's no dramatic performance, but I was quite impressed with it.
Gameplay is fun and in the vein of the old-school Legend of Zelda games, and yes, a bit grindy if you're going for 100% completion, but I never found it that hard to get the cards once you got into the flow.
The biggest issue I had was the UI. Inventory and such was fine, but when it came to combat at higher-end play I was getting a little frustrated by having to slot so many abilities. It's not catastrophic or anything, but not great either.
Overall though, I had a good time. The fact that it has multiplayer, varying difficulties, and multiple playstyles makes the game surprisingly replayable. Totally worth the buy-in for me!
This game's just not fun. The point of the game is literally in the title, so you really have no one to blame but yourself, I guess. I have given this game 3 tries since the supposed 1.0 and balancing, and I just absolutely hate what it's become. Which is a shame because, despite the chore that gameplay was before the game got "completed," I enjoyed it once upon a time. But now, unless you play on easy mode, you are expected to grind every single enemy for its card and all drops upon first meeting it.
Now, it's like the devs decided to design the game around the vocal minority crying "I need it to be Dark Souls-like difficulty," and have just sucked out the fun. The game goes from super-easy to blisteringly difficult in an extremely short span, and the game's clunky UI and simplistic combat design do not help. Actual equipment diversity is very low at every stage of the game, and you feel underpowered even if you grind out every drop for every craftable piece gear.
Boss fights are an atrocious abomination. The skill system is a mess; you can respec but it's fairly costly given enemy gold drops are low; even resetting just 5 skillpoints will set you back 1500g, and you're not hitting 100 gold drops from enemies until well past midgame, so it feels like you're penalized for experimenting. Unless you get some special, rare equipment drops from some enemies that you're fine selling, it's a lot of grinding to earn any gold.
Inventory is a mess and crafting isn't much better, but "thankfully" most of the common, filler stuff seems designed merely to fill up space and be sold for 1g. Despite most enemies having at least two "miscellaneous" drops, few are used in recipes. Instead, it's the same, rare drops that you use in multiple recipes (or even quests), so again, expect to sit near the same enemy spawn points swinging your weapon for hours at a time.
And then there's the ungodly abomination that is Adventure Mode. I can't stand it, and I'm not sure who this mode was focused towards, but it's definitely not my type of game. Maybe I'm biased, because I had to sit there and try playing it for months and years on end while it was the ONLY THING BEING UPDATED. The game's actual Story finale got put on hold for years while the devs kept putting out little tweaks to this garbage mode. No matter how much love I tried to give it, it was the figurative abusive spouse. So I moved on from it.
If you wanted some lighthearted hack and slack with fun gameplay, this is not the game. If you thought you were getting a Zelda clone or a Secret of Mana clone, this is not the game. This experience has all the frustrations of a game pretending like spongy bosses and unfair gimmicks is the epitome of difficult gameplay, without any of the charm.

Super cute independent game that has heart.
Enjoyed this game a lot and would recommend it!
Years ago, I played the demo for this game and had high hopes for it, which makes it all the more disappointing that this is the review I have to write.
Let's get this out of the way first. Yes, there is grinding in this game, it's literally in the name. But a game this dedicated to fighting mobs over and over needs to have a robust, well-developed combat flow, and Secrets of Grindea just... doesn't.
There's actually not much to discuss in that respect, because combat is pretty shallow. Naturally, you have buttons for blocking, items, and such, but you only have one attack button. There are several quickslots for abilities and spells, and you have a good amount of freedom in how you build your character. However, all of these abilities and spells consume resources, so any fight (or grind session) is largely going to consist of mashing a single button.
This would already be bad enough if you could clearly see what was happening, but Secrets of Grindea has a serious problem with visual clutter. Between damage numbers, familiars, visual effects, screen shake, a pet, and drops lying on the ground, it's often difficult-- if not impossible-- to see what the enemy characters are doing. You will end up taking hits because of this, and aside from the "hide pet" button, there are no options that let you meaningfully reduce the amount of extraneous crap on the screen.
You'll have to deal with that a lot, by the way, because there are some extraordinarily rare items in this game. Cards-- special items unique to each mob with permanent stat boosts that can only be collected once-- are by far the worst ones, capping out at a 1% base chance for the most common mobs. (For example, Plantae Hostilis' spawn rate is less than 25%, and it has a 0.4% chance of dropping a card.) You can easily spend an hour keysmashing in a given area for a single drop.
I should mention, to be fair, that there is a soft-pity system that slightly increases a card's drop rate the more enemies you kill without getting one-- but only slightly (translation: not enough). It makes farming for cards far more tedious, monotonous, and irritating that it should have been.
"But Scrumbled, I don't really care about farming, I just want to play for the story." Not so fast-- the game enforces the grind. In order to get the good ending, you are required to collect every card in the game.
Actually, that segues nicely into the story, which could fairly be described as confused. A big part of why I liked the demo was how the world was built around RPG tropes, but the game was self-aware enough to have fun with those tropes. If the full game had stuck to that goofy, lighthearted tone, it would've been a lot better, but it takes itself way too seriously at times. The whiplash from these tone shifts is can be really jarring, and it robs the impact from a lot of scenes.
Because of the similarities between the two games (and the expy of Lea), CrossCode came to mind several times while I was playing this game... mostly with unfavorable comparisons, which leads me to an unfortunate conclusion: there is no reason to play Secrets of Grindea when CrossCode exists. CrossCode has more fun, more in-depth combat; better bosses; better, more memorable music, story, and characters; more accessibility options; more well-thought-out handling of item drops; and despite being a longer game, it's more respectful of the player's time.

Have this on my wishlist for 10 years now and waited for it to cook.
It's 1.0 now and a total blast. Highly recommended for everyone who loves LTTP, Secrets of Mana or similar Games.
Easily one of the best in it's Genre.
cute and funny game without the sus
started in hard mode and reached my skill limit near the end
decided to lower the difficulty and was surprised i beat the boss easily
thankfully the difficulty balance has been addressed
grinding is acceptable
i'm just a story mode enjoyer
if you also like the roguelike/lite arcade mode, could be well worth your money
Perfect game, in my opinion the best 2D arcade in steam.
Very fun if you're looking for a fun game to grind.
One of my favourite games of all time. Both the story mode and roguelike modes are incredibly fun!
These kinds of games are rare. It took them many years to finish developing the game, but it was worth the years long wait. I played this game in coop mode only and it really felt like I was in the world on an adventure with my party. The story telling is solid and interesting, characters are unique and have persistence in the world (depth), art style is timeless and just convey so much, world is small yet big, bgm is immersive, sound design is satisfying (mostly), mechanics are incredible and refreshing (surpasses many modern games), and combat is iconic (except berserker, that thing is so weak). So much more I could say, but I'll just leave it here.
Highly recommend, it's an overall masterpiece and a gem. The correct way to play this is with friend(s), but solo works too. Even if the price was a bit higher, it'd still be worth. There's more entertainment here than most modern games.
I bought this game in 2015ish when it was a playable demo. I came back to it this week and it is hitting the spot. Secret of Mana but updated.
fun
Learn to balance. Arena for points with over-buffed mobs' HP with stupid crystals. Arena is just trash compared to the regular game content.
เล่นเพลินๆ ไม่ยากเกินไป ภาษาค่อนข้างง่าย ซื้อเลยคับ
This might be the best oldschool-Zelda-style game I've played. It expands on all the things that make those games great. It has lots of quests to give your time in the game focus. Lots of options for character build and equipment too, including crafting your own gear. Really a stellar title, particularly on Steam Deck. Get it!
Grindea os the most diligently produced passion project that I had the pleasure to follow for years.
Amazing game to l let yourself sink and escape to lazy days. Really comforting
The combat is quite fun and i like to collect things.
its relaxing to just lean back and play the Game.
The difficulty of this game is so that it makes you play it again and again
Okay.. I can't believe I have never seen this game. It's 9 years old and wow it's fun. Like really fun and I have only been playing for a hour and a half. Highly recommend.
