Grim Tides - Old School RPG

Turn-based RPG with roguelike elements and tabletop soul, Grim Tides - Old School RPG puts you in command of a character sailing through a dangerous tropical archipelago. Build from 7 distinct backgrounds and choose from 50+ perks to craft your unique playstyle. Every decision matters in this story-rich adventure inspired by classics like Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder.

Navigate tactical turn-based combat where each encounter demands careful strategy. Face deadly enemies and challenging bosses in battles where the stakes feel real—defeat can mean permanent loss on higher difficulties. Loot weapons, armor, accessories, and consumables as you progress, then craft gear to strengthen your build. The text-based storytelling weaves a dark fantasy narrative full of mysteries and ancient secrets waiting to be uncovered across the islands.

Captain your own vessel and recruit crew members to help you navigate treacherous waters. Manage resources, hunt bounties, complete quests, and explore islands to uncover hidden treasures and secrets. The game respects your time: play quick sessions or commit to longer adventures, all without requiring an internet connection. Four difficulty levels let you adjust the challenge, and optional permadeath for veterans who want the ultimate test.

Grim Tides - Old School RPG stays true to fair design principles. There are no lootboxes, no energy timers, and no predatory monetization systems. Ads are optional and unobtrusive, permanently removed with a single purchase if you prefer. Additional cosmetics and support options exist purely for those who wish to back the game further, never forcing progression behind paywalls.

This standalone prequel connects to the Grim Quest and Grim Omens universe—a dark fantasy realm spanning three complete games. You need no prior experience to jump in and carve your own path through these twisted islands. When the Dark closes in and your own mind becomes your worst enemy, your choices and tactics will determine whether you survive or fall.
