Where to begin... I backed this game waaaay back in the day when it was originally still being crowd-funded. During that time, if you backed the game you were promised a Steam copy of the game AND a DRM free copy of the game. Fast forward to now, that promise was broken, the website was changed to remove this and attempt to hide that promise and then the disaster of handling that promise happened on the forums. Grim Dawns team took back what they had promised to their backers and stated that instead, you now had to choose between the Steam copy or the DRM free copy, you didn't get both.

Prior to this drama, I was banned from their forums for modding their game, something they now encourage. However, my ban was never removed and was only done out of spite because the lead developer of the game hates me. I released some mods for the game that showed more or less weaknesses in his ideas of security. Mind you, none of this was released on the official forums. But since he can't take any form of critisim or feedback, I was banned.

Some reasons why I would not recommend this game:
- If you do something the developers disagree with, even off of their own site, you'll get banned.
- If you do something the developers disagree with, they'll threaten to VAC ban you. (Yes, this happened.)
- The gameplay is fairly boring, the idea to bring back an older Diablo feel works but overall it just lacks purpose.
- The story is fairly empty. You are dropped into a world with little background, some minor NPC interaction and chat, and that's basically it. Otherwise it's just get gear and level up with no real depth.
- The multiplayer is absolutely horrible and full of bugs and crashes.

The game is running on the old Titan Quest engine, so don't expect anything amazing in terms of graphics, however some would prefer it to look older and more grungy like the original Diablo's.

Ultimately I refunded my copy of the game after being lied to after backing the project. I would not recommend this game studio to anyone if they attempt to do similar crowd-funding things in the future. They are very unorganized when it comes to actually following through with their word to their backers.

(Proof of refund in comments since apparently people think I'm lying.)
