Necromancer (AOM): pretty much what the name implies, a spellcaster with life/death-focused spells and undead summons Inquisitor (AOM): a sort of Magitek mage/trapper with a side helping of ranged weapon-based attacks Shaman: another fighter/mage hybrid, this time focused on nature-based magic alongside two-handed weapons and/or strong (but limited) summons Nightblade: an assassin with a curious mix of dual-wielding attacks, cold- and poison-based damage options, and support skillsĪrcanist: a typical “elemental blaster”-type mage at first glance, but also boasting some powerful support buffs and defensive abilities Occultist: a devotee of the three Witch Gods, capable of either using magic directly or summoning beasts to do the fighting Soldier: a standard fighter-type, focusing on weapon-based damage along with a host of passive boostsĭemolitionist: a technology-based fighter/mage hybrid, employing various explosives and (literal) firepower Nothing terribly original on that front, but it works well enough as an excuse to do what you do in the game, and the actual lore in the game is pretty interesting. In short, it’s basically another take on the usual “fight deities in a Crapsack World” framing. And then you get to do it all twice more because extra difficulties in Grim Dawn work like classic Diablo, albeit with different names (normal/veteran, elite, and ultimate). What exactly is Grim Dawn? It’s another loot-based ARPG (similar to Diablo) in which your character survives possession by an extradimensional ghost and goes on to blunt invasions by both further extradimensional ghosts (“aetherials”, who believe they deserve to own all life) and their rival extradimensional demons (“ch’thonians”, who want to use the blood of all living things to revive their dying god) before also putting down an incursion by yet another extradimensional being (this time an actual god looking for revenge on account of having been held captive and forgotten). These are unlocked from a giant constellation map with points acquired by finding and restoring destroyed or corrupted shrines hidden throughout the world.But I’m getting ahead of myself.
