▍About GrimGrimoire Once More
GrimGrimoire Once More is an action strategy game that’s a remaster of the original PS2 title. With fully-drawn 2D visuals, the game has you following Lillet Blan on her journey in the SIlver Star Tower, an academy for the magical arts with the top instructors and magicians in the world training you. However not all is as it seems, as the tower has tons of secrets and enemies lurking within, and with only one way out of the tower, it’s up to you to build your defences and command familiars to escape!
The game is a real-time game where players can draw upon powerful familiars to set up defences all around the Silver Star Tower. Each familiar has different properties and roles, such as collecting crystals to summon more familiars, applying heavy damage, being incredibly tanky, and much more. As you progress, you will find more grimoires, giving you access to more powerful runes and familiars.
The remaster also adds a new skill tree, improved UI, and an art gallery. More features such as being able to change from English to Japanese audio have also been included.
