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.
First I was wondering what kind of game is that?
Well I gonna say its a really nice game. You can decide different builds from two handed combat or one handed melee or magic its up to you.
You have characters you can quikly like.
The Humor is really nice and simple and funny.
I personally enjoyed the game.
great coop game. my friend and i played this together and it was a really fun time. respeccing is easy and it was fun trying out different builds and switching between melee/ranged/magic/summons/hybrid. the story starts off pretty basic but as the story progresses there's a lot of cute, funny moments, and interesting plot developments. combat is fast and fun, and the world was interesting to explore. the main gripe i have is coop progression only stays with the host, however quest completion is carried over to the people joining so you can just run around and talk to people to skip doing quests again
Co-op with my wife. A fun time, highly recommend. Great price for the experiences received
it fun
I don't know that I've played a multiplayer game that has such a pleasant level of difficulty, collection mechanic, characters, and story. I've been playing this game with my husband on hard difficulty. Often, games start hard, and then become overly easy if you are mindful of your equipment and collect buffs. Here, the game feels wonderfully balanced, such that getting good equipment and collecting the cards (and getting permanent buffs) is actually a fun addition to your character, without leaving battles trivial. The stories and characters are engaging and adorable.
Great game. Good single player experience. Didn't like the roguelike mode much (surprisingly). Also not a fan of classless games - ended up playing with a very sub-optimal build for almost the entire game. Still, quite polished and fun regardless.
fun game, nuff said.
an amazing game I almost DID NOT play
for some reason, the name ("grind") and the screenshots suggested to me that this was an average mindless grindfest ARPG, so I wasn't interested initially.
but this couldn't be further from the truth, its closer to the "secrets of...(mana/evermore)" series, or better yet, classic top-down zelda games, but with a much more fleshed out RPG-like character progression system that has builds and playstyles that shine in various scenarios, ranging from:
* gimmicky (literally a tag the game uses to describe some skills lmao), like turret spam, or a "baseball"(or more fitting, a pinball) that you spawn and bounce around the level to hit enemies for crazy damage
to
* reliable, like passive pet summons or damage enhancements
or
* skillful, projectiles, or straight up skillshots you aim, as well as complex builds that reward not getting hit, etc
the game honestly puts a lot moba or even some modern MMORPG build systems to shame
what else?
* a sh*t-load of content that works flawlessly in multiplayer, difficulty settings ranging from "everyone can enjoy the story" to "bullethell connoisseur" that goes beyond a simple +hp +dmg modifier
* really fun, super creative and (if you're into it) difficult but rewarding boss fights
* funny, clever writing that you don't have to completely skip (but you can!) and can enjoy at your own pace (other players in mp will wait for you to catch up at the end)
* action-combat: rewarding parry-system , enemy variety, build variety
* completely optional grinding/crafting system that naturally comes into play as enemies slowly start hyperspawning if you remain in one spot for a while, which flows really well honestly as the difficulty slowly ramps up and you can leave at any time to progress your main/sidequests. really well done system
* optional side-content such as various minigames like fishing, map exploration, treasure-hunting (through treasure maps or tips)
at the current pricepoint the game is an absolute steal for the quality and amount of content presented, especially since you can play it with your friends. seriously, you are basically robbing them by buying it.
bottom line:
[hr][/hr]
go get the game if any of these points are remotely interesting to you, devs are absolute chads
Reminded me to Zelda's puzzles and RPG, highly recommend it, hope they release a DLC.
completely charming and fun in that very old school way of ohhhhhh my fucking god im gonna throw up if i have to do this boss again but in a fun way <--- complimentary. I wonder if the mirror boss spawn is determined by how badly you beefed a boss before cause i did have to laugh when a certain dragon(s) came to play cause i died sooooo much to them.
The actual gameplay is smooth and addictive and i really enjoyed the artstyle and direction of it all. If i never have to phase again i will die a happy bitch, though. All the same even that mechanic looped well. Very fun to grind out all the cards (the sound design of it all! immaculate) Its really delightful all around and if you enjoy collection or experience grind this game is like crack.
The only issue is if you did what I did and get to like 97% completion and then take a few months break and then try and figure out what damn side quests you somehow missed. Some aspects can be a little esoteric and i really cannot parse what mt bloom thing it is im missing so i guess i just have to go all over again and just get it in one go before time can erase my knowledge of which quests ive started and finished (lol) I not only laughed out loud at this game but genuinely teared up at others and i gasped at the end twist. I really liked this game, i totally recommend to give it a shot cause its super customisable !
Really fun. Great art. Fun skill system.
Cute and Relaxing Game :)
Definitely Recommend For Starter Game
I was thinking of stop playing on my way to the exam, but the first encounter at the bridge was a little interesting so I continued playing and became a collector. Then I got my first assignment from a man that just went away after introducing himself, hoping I would follow him (pfff!). On my way to this pumpkin forest, I dozed off. When I woke up, barely, I realized that I am not going to enjoy this game. 😴
surprisingly good story & character moments for a game that leans towards being a parody of the genre.
great combat with lots of build variety.
arcade mode was a genius addition
I played this single player years ago in early access, but playing it now co-op is so much fun. One of rare games I bought multiple copies at full price... and it was worth it.
Super fun and funny zelda style game.
Really really good and charming rpg
